[ and so, in spite of it all, alhaitham talks, and kaveh listens.
in a distant reality where kaveh is not born with a shortened lifespan, he would have seen fit to disagree. he would have frowned, the wrinkles on his forehead taking shape, and said that no, fun is something highly personal, that whether one is at the heart of a festival does not mean they are enjoying themselves. away from the hustle and bustle of the celebration of a god's birth, it is easily feasible that here, by the water's edge, kaveh is having fun.
a kaveh who has his days counted does not exert himself in the same way. it is criticism, and he knows alhaitham does not say words to hurt him. hurt is, after all, rather subjective. it is something a person must allow into their heart, and permit it to fester. kaveh does not. there is plenty that his body does not feel already. he would not want hurt to be something it does.
his fingers dance in the water, and he does not feel its temperature. it's wet, and kaveh finds that to be enough. ]
Quite a lot of words to say you value people who are true to themselves. [ a smile begins to form on his lips. it is neither hollow nor weak. ] So according to you, I'm not having fun right now? Then, what do you suppose I'm feeling right now?
no subject
