[That's fine, we're all good. Eiden and Buzen are probably the only people he's going to be marginally less mortified about on Monday, since they're both pretty casually tactile anyway.
He huffs out a dry laugh.]
Maybe we can bribe them into opening a tavern for us. [This is a joke he would not do this]
Sure. [Swats his hand. The way he's going to lose his mind when he finds out this is literal] I didn't know there was such a high demand for "tavern worker attractiveness judge."
[He sounds... pleased! He does take pride in his work, after all.
Or, well. Hm. He sounds a little too pleased? Or rather, very relaxed. In fact, if Eiden is still resting his head on Kaveh's arm, he'll probably feel Kaveh's shoulders very abruptly lose their tension. Hm. That's probably fine.]
Nothing, I'm just. It's been a long weekend, right? [ a small smile, though... he keeps holding his arm, he has not lost his stickiness. ] I think maybe I'm just nervous.
[ maybe he hallucinated that. he doesn't lean against him anymore, though, rather might encourage the opposite. ]
Oh, sure, if you want to. [Agreeable! Eiden can lead him to sit if he wants, though Kaveh doesn't sway weirdly or anything. He just wanders with him, steady and relaxed.]
[ ok like things could really be worse. if anything, this is like therapeutic if anything!!! okay!!! he will be gay and just press their shoulders together as they sit down if he doesn't mind. ]
[He doesn't mind! He seems content to just sit and chill here for as long as Eiden wants, really. This is definitely a normal mood swing that will have no follow-up in the future.]

Seriously, I could use a bar around here more than I could use anything else right now. A cocktail, a beer, a glass of wine even...
[ instead he just bonks his head lightly into his shoulder. ]
Being stuck here sober isn't what I want.

But he will accept this; touch week means he lifts a hand to card through Eiden's hair, kind of thoughtlessly reassuring.]
I know. A bottle's only a dollar from the reapers, but if it's that cheap, it has to taste awful.
[And he was willing to be fussy and picky before because he's SPOILED but now he's leaning more towards desperate,,]
no subject
Taste awful, but maybe it gets the job done? Maybe it's possible to specify... or maybe they have a suggestion box?

Pfft, if only. With cute shadow tavern men working there too...
[ is he serious. ]
no subject
How could you even tell if they were cute?

I just have a sense for these things, Kaveh. It's part of my very special set of skills as the Grand Sorcerer.
no subject
Oh, is that what it's called in your field?
[This is clearly a euphemism for sex toy designer]

My resume is vast and formidable. [ he just. boops him on the nose. come back. don't dissociate. ] I am a multi-world man of business.

Anyway he just. Heaves a melodramatic sigh]
Aren't they all... I guess I can't switch fields. [Kaveh you love your job shut up]
no subject
It's a shame. Your world would lose some valuable works.

... Hey? Kaveh... are you okay?
[ he shifts a little closer out of concern (how much closer can he get?) closer. ]
no subject
Hm? I'm fine, why?

no subject
Oh, I understand. But you should try to relax, you know? It'll all work out.
no subject
I mean.... I'll do my best. You too, okay? You want to sit down with me for a bit?
[ do you need to take a seat? surely there is a park bench nearby. or. grass... ]
