... you're glaring at the floor. what happened?
ohh, someone looks happy – and not in a ' i brought a particularly difficult person to justice' way. what happened?
you ... did. [ his lips part in surprise, scanning the picture more carefully. he happens to remember this specific picture – the kamera had been held by a reporter, if he remembers right. ] .. that's really nice of you, cyno. thanks. i do look quite nice. what other cards did you get?
@paradisaeas . yes. you've mentioned on many occasions before about how much you cared about how you looked in photos, so i made sure they modeled the card based off of what you deemed as a "good photo". and... you're smiling in this one.
huh? / me /? [ the blonde stares down at the card his friend holds out, a little bewildered. ] ...huh. it doesn't look too bad. / REAL

these are supplies for collei's upcoming term at the akademiya. i trust you'll deliver them to her on my behalf.
@alkatibs . your criticism regarding my humor is noted. nonetheless, it is alright; i can still deliver them, as i'm heading to tighnari's home.
on second thought, i'll be delivering them myself. i'd prefer not to have her tortured with the jokes you would throw in her direction..
@alkatibs . yes, of course. she is growing so quickly... it feels like yesterday when she had just began learning how to read. in a week, she will be an amurta student, learning "e. collei" and "vibrio collei-rae."
don’t overcomplicate it, it was obvious i was busy.
@hayiscri . complication is laced within the humorous and witty nature of the joke. is this your way of saying you don't understand? i can explain it for you.
i won, fair. if i recall, wasn’t the bet for that limited addition card kaveh handed off to you ?
@hayiscri . why not? you do a good deal of damage... in the right circumstances and setups, that is. [ cyno glances at his limited edition card, his lips curling into a subtle frown. he seems reluctant to part ways with it. ] i am not saying such a thing, you've won fairly. [ he doesn't wish to say out loud that he has regretted the deal, as a bet is a bet; he should honor his words. ]
@cynomatras why would i want others using a playing card with my face on the front cover ? [ he wasn’t even asked about the artistic decisions on these cards.. why did they make him look like that ?? ] are you denying your loss ? it was a fair game, after all.
@hayiscri . [...] [ never has he felt more conflicted with his morals. it's true, alhaitham did win fairly... but, he also does not wish to let go of his special card. ] why.... would you want such a thing in the first place? it's just a shiny, laminated version of an alhaitham card.
‘ are you done yet ? ’ [ it’s a frequent sign he uses, but honestly.. cyno sits there trying to strike up plenty conversations with him, while his headphones aren’t turned on— but he doesn’t need to know that. ]
@hayiscri . ` the protagonist's interest. affection. heart. ` [ he signs all the words he knows that are synonymous to love. he is not oblivious to the soft blush on the other's features; he has always been observant, as it is part of his job description as the general mahamatra. a small, but subtle smile quirks up from his lips. ] ` and also for future reference. `
@cynomatras [ thankfully, his lip - reading has always been similarly great to his signing— but, why does he want to know how to say that ? if you squint, you could perhaps see the lightest redness on his cheeks. barely. ] ' why do you want to know / that / ? '
@hayiscri . [ his brow twitches slightly, perplexed, though it quickly settles into its usual nonchalance when his hands are corrected. ] ` oh. my mistake. i'm still working on my sign language. how do you say — ` [ he pauses mid-sign, mouthing clearly the word "love". he wishes to know for the context of the novel's main character's love interest. ]
/ i see no nari.. give me 20 mins im cleaning out the pot cupboard
... if you make a joke out of me losing, i swear to kusanali –
@paradisaeas . indeed, you're cornered. [ he doesn't even attempt to conceal that fact. he pours a reasonable amount of wine into kaveh's cup, enough to allow the architect to make rational choices. he wants to win fairly, after all. ] but it'll be interesting to see how you try to get out of it. or don't, that is, but we can always rematch.
i like to call it self preservation, thank you. [ he scowls, but sits again anyways, picking up his cards. ] i can't possibly win like this – must you make me suffer? cruel.
@paradisaeas . don't go, kaveh. i'd like to finish the duel; you are an interesting opponent. if it provides incentive, i do have wine in the cellar—- for some reason, i've noticed that you are more prone to alcohol after i've told a reasonable number of jokes.
