[ kaveh listens, and somewhere along the way, builds the opinion that alhaitham enjoys talking, especially when it is to explain something. not in the way a person who places themselves wiser and smarter than another does, to show off their wits and set a distance between them. he does so in the way someone who enjoys sharing knowledge does to aid another into understanding.
it is a lot of words to reach the simple conclusion that from him, there had been no fault, errors, or mistakes. it is a long explanation to say, simply, that the problem lies either at the very source, or in the leylines that flow beneath sumeru.
(kaveh finds room to wonder, then, if alhaitham has said all of this so that he is not misunderstood. so kaveh does not assume that alhaitham is of unchallenged confidence, arrogance, and ignorance. so that his line of thought is understood, and his servant does not think ill of him.
in a way, it works as intended.)
the pomegranate is set down. the seeds are pealed, and his hands calm. ] I suppose that if the problem had come from the Throne, then it's possible that I wouldn't even have the skill. I do, it's just... not accessible, currently. Which means the issue could be with the leylines. Maybe something in here is purposely blocking that information from me.
[ it is, kaveh finds, much like standing in front of a closed door. he knows something lies beyond it, but neither does he have the keys, nor does he know where to find them. where would he even begin searching? ]
Wouldn't it be easier to try and recreate her steps, instead of recalling a memory in its entirety? I still have my Territory Creation skill, you know. It wouldn't hurt to try.
