tightening his cravat more than necessary, then turning away in a snap.
"Let's get going then, I'm sure Lord Kusanali will be impatient if we take even longer. ... Just so you know, my mother told me she's leaving the doors unlocked for when we come back, so feel free to leave as soon as possible."
It seems that worrying about this hopeless man is useless after all. But all is well, the party will surely be so crowded it'll be fairly easy to escape his sight.
... Specially because looking at him now makes him look at his own reflection. A little uncomfortable.
"You're hopeless." he says, +
"Said the man who asked me to punch him so he wouldn't have to come...." he mumbles. Then, he looks down enough to realize his cravat is all crooked.
... without thinking, he grabs it to properly fix it.
"You realize you have to be polite and amicable, right? No ignoring people?"
"I'm talking about your FACE!!"
He makes sure to poke the cheeks sticking out from underhead his mask.
"I just KNOW you have that disgusting look on your face. Why did you come anyway???"
"If you're going to wear that ugly face all night, you should just go back home."
// sorry. he'll be back to bunny later. i have a PARTY to attent to!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He's not usually scared of heights but this is... ridiculous.
How he misses being a tall man! He's now at this stranger's mercy... Looking up at Zandik with his very VERY large eyes, he waits.
Kaveh does not bite him, thankfully, but the way he's boxing and kicking might have hurt his assailant anyway. He's desperate, what can he do?!
But once he's more than two feet away from the ground, he stops, freezing in fear. That is so, so far away. +
this is all AlHaitham's FAULT!!!!
"Squeee sqrqrrrrrrlll" he throws an un-bunnylike tantrum, spinning and jumping and scratching the air. Please don't eat him!!!
"SQUEEEAAAKEEE"
He screams, though his bunny voice isn't loud at all, like his usual voice. He falls, thankfully on his paws, but the fear and despair are intense enough for him to freeze as the Unknown Man appears from beyond the hole ...
ESCAPED LIVESTOCK?! NO WAY. +
you're an idiot, and i'm in love with you. guess that makes me an idiot, too.
Normal Kaveh wouldn't be a big fan of cucumbers but they look damn scrumptious right now. And Alhaitham- CURSE HIM- hasn't opened the door the entire day! He'll have him repay whoever loses their greens.
With a sigh of sadness, he hops to chomp the offerings... unaware.... but squeaking happily.
bunveh's been out the entire day, tired and upset and ... hungry. So hungry. All the damn time. He wasn't that hungry before! Twenty flowers weren't enough?!
He comes across the plate by chance. He has a bad nose. It calls to him ... but he won't just steal (more)... he can't ....
After freaking out and failing at communicating with anyone... Kaveh stopped by a random garden and ate all its flowers. He only realized when it was too late- they were so tasty and he was so hungry...
All he can do is hop back towards his house, but... the handle is just incredibly too high up.
SQUEEEEEEEAK!!
This is how Kaveh learns bunnies make no sound other than... whatever this is. He never thought about it. But now...
// REX WHERE DI YOU FIND THSOSS😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
// bunny kaveh event for 10 days or so 🥰 dw he'll be back to normal before the halloween gala
now there is a panicking bunny running around Sumeru City, getting stepped on by unaware passers-by...
He was feeling so tired yesterday, he ended up falling asleep without realizing. Today, however, he feels great! So full of energy! Ready to tackle all his problems!
... but, for some reason .... why is the desk so UP HIGH?!
.... why is he so close to the floor!? Where are his HANDS!?!
ghh…. I don’t feel so good…
Maybe some time away would help him realize the heartache he feels is just an exaggeration…
“I thought you didn’t want to go? You know it is a PARTY, right? Loud music? People dancing? Free drinks? People screaming to hear each other over the music?”
M- Maybe I’m not as ripped and… well, active as you are but me and Mehrak are more than enough!”
Besides, does he really need to have Alhaitham on his trail all the time? Must he look at his face every single day?! +
“?????”
What’s gotten into him today? He was just complaining he did NOT want to go and even asked to be punched to avoid it! Now he changed his mind???
“I can take care of her myself very well, thank you?! +
He points an accusatory finger at Alhaitham’s face,
“And you’re not my DAD to be responsible for anything!! Sit your lazy ass down and enjoy being free from me for a couple days, wouldn’t you love that?!”
“Hah— What?!” now he’s mad, almost yelling, hands on his hips.
“I would never get drunk in a party like that, not if I’m accompanying Lord Kusanali!? B- Besides of both of us I’m definitely much more friendly and interesting! A real asset to any party!” +
A costume… Unfortunately I cannot afford something elaborate… though I do have some jewelry my mom left behind….
I can do all the talking and networking you would fail spectacularly at. In fact, I bet your presence would just make the Akademiya look super bad and unprofessional. I should totally go in your stead!”
want to go!? Stop acting like Lord Kusanali is a monster, that’s so disrespectful!”
Though he doesn’t know how cunning that little godling is. Regardless…
“Listen, just tell her I’ll accompany her instead. I’m no Grand Sage but she knows me so this should be enough, right? +
