[ kaveh sets his plate down. alhaitham continues to eat. the answer to the question ought to be simple. it does not, in fact, matter to alhaitham. little enough does. it does not matter the mix of the poison or the quality of lies. it matters who the lies are coming from, and for what purpose they are used. without hope, humans cannot function. and alhaitham needs the lokapalans to function. they are the only individuals inside the palace that are beneath azar's notice; they valuable pieces to be moved on a gameboard that spans past what the ali qapu can hold in her crimson gaze.
alhaitham, who has only ever played to win, looks at kaveh. his persistence suits him. it is also a complication. alhaitham considers this. ]
