I am a pharmacist looking for some brave adventurers willing to go down into the dungeon and collect dongle flower milk for me. I need at least 10 bottles!

JOB POSTING TWO! HELP A WOMAN'S GROWING BUSINESS!
I am a young lady looking to expand my make-up business. I heard rumors that there's water in the dungeon that could make an AMAZING base for make-up products. But it sounds like it's super scary in there and I don't want to go. Please, someone, help!
You can bring all bottles of dungeon water to the make-up booth in the southeast corner of the market. I'm willing to pay in chips or trade some of my current products. My face masks and nail polishes are really good!

kaveh acts like it causes him physical pain to get the words out. ]
Maybe, [ alhaitham parrots back, ] Don’t you sound confident.
[ he doesn’t. alhaitham, despite his ongoing sass, isn’t thrilled with the prospect either. being forced into this situation and held hostage isn’t the ideal approach.
still, he doesn’t doubt the conclusion kaveh has come to. ]
Well? If we know the solution what’s keeping us here?
[ the fact that he knows kaveh. he takes everything to heart. they’ll be trapped here to next year waiting on him. ]
Close your eyes.
no subject
Because...
what if he kisses Alhaitham and everything comes back? Sure, he's probably just being dramatic, but what if he's not, and he ruins all the progress he's made in a single moment? Kaveh feels panic start to grip his heart in its cold vise, and his lips part, his brain flying over attempts to offer an argument or excuse...
Alhaitham tells him to close his eyes.
The sound he makes is something far more strangled than it should be. What sense does that even make? Why does he want him to just close his eyes? What is the point of just...
He swallows back the anxiety and frustration, and takes a deep, slow breath. ]
...Right. Fine.
[ His eyes close, and his fingers curl tight into the fabric at his hips. ]
no subject
despite that, kaveh agrees. his eyes close, thick lashes fluttering on his cheeks with all his anxiety and trepidation. ]
You act like you don’t trust me, [ alhaitham says, his voice smooth and steady, not missing a beat.
he supposes he should feel similar uncertainty, crossing this untouched threshold, but neither of them wish to stay rooted here. he doesn’t doubt the solution that kaveh has arrived at, which means there’s nothing left to do but the execution.
he’s merciful enough to start plainly; he gives up his arms crossed over his chest and instead reaches out to lightly grasp kaveh’s sharp jaw. he won’t be admitting when he leans in, he feels his own pulse increase as his gaze lands on kaveh’s mouth, appearing pillowy soft. ]
Let’s test your theory, [ alhaitham says, close enough their noses are nearly brushing. he can likely feel alhaitham’s breath fanning against him. and then the scribe goes in for the kill, noses brushing against one another slightly as he presses their mouths together. ]
no subject
So... a simple, quick kiss, then. Right? A brush of their lips, and then it will be over, and they'll be freed. Provided his theory holds.
Of course, what's more likely is that it doesn't, and they're expected to do something more. But Kaveh is trying very hard not to think about that. He—
—forgets everything when Alhaitham's mouth presses against his, when their noses brush. His breath catches, and the sound on his lips is nothing short of embarrassing, a half-sigh, half-sob that later he'll deny ever having made. His hands lift, the fingers of both hands curling into the younger man's shirt, and he returns the kiss, not even really noticing the way he's immediately deepened it, lips parting against the other's.
(And the problem is that he tastes the same, feels the same, and of course he does because he's the same person but Kaveh's not sure he's ready for him to be, not when he knows that in Alhaitham's mind all they've ever been is roommates.)
It takes several beats too long, but he pulls himself away with a sharp breath, eyes rimmed with a red that matches both his eyes and eyeliner as he stares up at the other man. He swallows hard. His legs quake. ]
Th-there. So.. that should work. Right?
no subject
that is what he thinks before that wounded noise is squashed between their two mouths, kaveh's fingers curling tightly into his already tight clothing. oversensitive, he'd think, but that doesn't excuse the way kaveh's lips spread apart. turns out that he doesn't have to worry about kaveh squirming away at all. his hand adjusts accordingly, fingers splaying and skimming along the underside of kaveh's jaw to curl along the nape of his neck, just underneath all that hair, threads of it slipping between his fingers.
the kiss is indulgent and ends with the brush of alhaitham's tongue swiping against kaveh's bottom lip instead of giving into the nagging thought of biting it. kaveh, despite his eager participation, looks wrecked when they part.
alhaitham's hand slips away, back to his own person.
his gaze crawls over kaveh, taking in each symptom and cataloguing it with the next. he doesn't forget the embarrassing noise kaveh had made or the way he clung to him.]
Hmmm. [ he does move to test the bounds of their invisible cage and finds give, but before he can step away, the bubble strengthens again. like a light flickering. his gaze hasn't fully left kaveh despite the testing.]
Close. Perhaps not thorough enough?
no subject
And he knows he's doing a terrible job of hiding it, because Alhaitham's eyes are moving over him, no doubt cataloguing the way his breath trembles, the panicked look in his darting eyes.
He's trying to find an excuse, something to say, but then the other man is moving, testing the walls that seem to hold them here, and for a single moment Kaveh hopes, because it looks like he's moving—but it's only a moment, and then he's still again, telling Kaveh that it's close but perhaps not thorough enough.
Kaveh thinks he's going to cry.
Instead, he takes a breath, steps back forward into Alhaitham as he winds his arms around his shoulders. If he hesitates now, they'll be stuck here forever. So he presses forward, their mouths colliding once more as his heart pounds violent in his chest, as his breath quickens. His lips part, and this time it's his tongue that darts forward, tasting Alhaitham's mouth. Perhaps a deeper kiss will be enough— ]
no subject
his caution amounts to nothing when kaveh takes the step forward, invading his space and doing what is evidently necessary to get them out this predicament.
it’d be impressive if kaveh wasn’t trembling.
eyes closed, mouths together, alhaitham still remembers the red lining kaveh’s eyes.
there’s more bare skin on his shoulders, spaces between straps of leather and buckles, and alhaitham’s skin tingles where kaveh’s arms curls around his shoulders. kaveh deepens the kiss immediately and alhaitham wonders if all his years of avoiding relationships has caught up with him.
his own hands settle on kaveh’s waist, warm bare skin unintentionally under his fingertips and under his palms. his tongue licks back at kaveh’s own, the sensation of their tongues brushing together and tangling leaves him warm. kaveh’s mouth is as pillowy as it looks when he’s pouting and glaring at alhaitham.
it’s far from unpleasant, he’s not about to admit that when a second ago kaveh looked like he might cry.
when alhaitham pulls away, it’s a slow process. dwindling down to slow kisses before he breaks contact with their mouths, leaving them sucking in shared air before he pulls back almost altogether. his hands stay rooted on kaveh’s waist for a moment, his eyes open to wordlessly assess the damage. ]
no subject
Somehow, he keeps himself from making those mistakes, something he almost regrets when their kiss turns slow and gradually breaks apart, even though it's what has to happen. He can feel fresh tears threatening to well behind his closed eyelids, and he keeps them closed while he fights them off—Alhaitham, after all, was studying him just before, and he can't show him more than he already has.
So he breathes, slow and steady, gathering himself together—not realizing just how incriminating that action on its own is—before his eyes finally open. And he has to avoid thinking too hard about how Alhaitham's lips are plush and wet from his, how the younger man's hands are still firm against the skin of his waist, how, despite himself, he's still trembling.
He takes a steadying breath, but the words on his lips still quaver more than they should. ]
Try.. try again?
no subject
alhaitham, for all his no good tendencies in enraging kaveh, has seen kaveh cry enough times to think it might happen now.
he can hear the shake in kaveh’s slow, supposedly steadying breath. not hard to tell he’s trying to hold it together, not when alhaitham has known him as long as he has. alhaitham isn’t the only one with a pretty wet sheen on his lips, but kaveh’s got the same shine to his eyes. he can feel the quiver in his palms laid against kaveh still. ]
So fast, senior? I haven’t had time to see if our last attempt was fruitful.
[ he’s being intentionally insufferable, the behavior like an old familiar comfort. and very obviously intentional because when alhaitham moves away a second later, his slipping from kaveh’s tight waist as he steps away to test those invisible bounds, it’s clear he was being intentionally misunderstanding.
he doesn’t expect it to work, but the next step he takes is free. with a little surprise, he glances back at kaveh. ]
Would you look at that. A success after all.
no subject
[ Kaveh won't realize until later that Alhaitham is goading him on purpose, baiting him out of his emotion and into an easier-to-handle frustration. Right now, he's busy scolding him, because in the time it takes for him to start to be mortified at the assertion, Alhaitham is already backing away, making it clear that he's trying to be annoying.
Seriously, how did he ever miss this man—
Alhaitham does step away, though, and Kaveh breathes the softest of sighs. This is a good thing, isn't it? The fact that they can separate from one another without the need to do more than what they've already done... it's a good thing. It has to be, because he can't. He can't let it happen. Not again. Alhaitham will just have to meet the resort's needs with someone else—
(He tries to ignore the way that thought hurts.) ]
Right. A success.
[ His voice sounds hollow, even to him. ]
Anyway, you— [ A breath. ] What brought you down into the dungeon, Alhaitham? If there's something you need, maybe I can get it for you instead.
no subject
despite the bait, the frustration only sticks a moment. he can read the depression a mile away, but he’s used to seeing it affixed to kaveh in relationship to some job he’s taken with a client that has him jumping through hoops or when inspiration is eluding him on a particular piece. or, he supposes, when kaveh’s had a few too many drinks and starts to lament the mountain of debt he’s chained to.
…well, maybe he’s not so unused to seeing kaveh like this. he’s just used to knowing precisely what has kaveh so down. what all signs point to this time — alhaitham is wary to make assumptions. ]
I’m a ‘monster’, [ alhaitham says with a voice dryer than the desert, his expression flat as he lifts the leather tail. ] I woke up down here.
[ he’s only vaguely exploring; one place doesn’t mean more to him than another here. he’s heard there was a tavern up top, though. perhaps they should head there. ]
I should be asking you.
[ kaveh is the “adventurer” here. ]
no subject
I don't need any help. I've.. I've been here long enough, Alhaitham. I have everything I need, at this point.
[ And more, but he doesn't say that. Alhaitham will see it on his own, anyway, once they're out of here, the way that people fawn over him for his higher rank, the far too-large suite in which he lives alone with Mehrak. ]
I just meant... do you need clothes, or something? You can't be comfortable wearing that.
[ Pot calling kettle, much? In his own mind, of course, Kaveh has rationalized the need for this outfit, even if it is rather skimpy—though hardly the skimpiest thing he has worn, here—but that doesn't mean Alhaitham has to be just as uncomfortable, does it?
(Not to mention that Kaveh would rather not have to look at him like this, all leather and defined muscle. It's too easy to think about—
No. Deep breath. Distraction.) ]
The dungeon isn't... I mean, doing some of the quests is a good idea, but we can always come back for that later on.
no subject
excuse him if it’s difficult to believe kaveh’s doing better in a sex resort.
at least until he considers that kaveh has such a friendly, outgoing personality and he looks plenty attractive. ah. perhaps kaveh is doing better here…
alhaitham, however, is completely out of place. the leather feels entirely theatrical, too tight for starters and then there’s the faux straps of leather caging his chest and arms that just feels particularly absurd in how useless it is. decorative. he thinks might feel less revealed in a decently sized towel. at least it would be functional.
kaveh doesn’t need to volunteer twice. ]
You’re offering to take me shopping?
[ he is uncomfortable, a little more obvious when alhaitham hooks a finger under the strap of leather around his throat, as if he can create more breathing space. it was fine until the offer of something actually comfortable was made. his typical attire has the decency to let him move how he likes. he doesn’t inquire on if kaveh is getting a different outfit — or is this how he dresses now? it’ll still take him awhile to familiarize himself with this new hair cut, or lack there of. alhaitham has to pull his gaze up from kaveh’s bare waist.
either way, they’re freed from the trap and there’s no good reason to linger. he’s less than concerned about the dungeon. ]
I think I’ll take you up on the offer.
[ if kaveh’s doing better here, alhaitham would certainly appreciate a change of clothes. something without a tail, preferably. ]
Should I count this towards the rent you owe me?
no subject
[ It's a confirmation that Alhaitham probably doesn't need, clever as he is; the meaning of Kaveh's words is clear even as he queries them. After all, even he can notice at a glance how uncomfortable the clothes would be, but Alhaitham is wearing them, so... At least, at the store, he'll be able to get something closer to what he normally wears—maybe not always in appearance, but in comfort and freedom of movement, at the very least.
He smiles when Alhaitham agrees—and then immediately scowls, arms folding defensively over his chest. ]
If you really want to bring that up here, then just tell me how much I owe you. I can pay it off right now.
[ Not that there's such a thing as a Teyvat—Golden Peacock Resort and Casino exchange, but he can work it out based on the price of daily goods, if he spends a little time. None of that is the point, though. Alhaitham is being annoying again, but... maybe he needs that. Maybe Alhaitham being annoying can keep him sane for now. Or something.
He sighs. ]
In that case, let's stop by my suite so I can change out of this "armor". It's one thing to wear it down here like they recommend, but I'd rather have a little more on if we're going shopping. And you... You should think about what you might want or need.
no subject
[ alhaitham moves on seamlessly and smooth as kaveh. what a turn it is that kaveh is offering to buy him things and while some might think that would throw him off balance, it suits him just as well. kaveh's not the type to turn anyone away, not that alhaitham requires much. as much as he enjoyed the financial freedom he had obtained in sumeru, he's not an extravagant spender. as much as he hassles kaveh about rent, it's as similar to the drinks on his tab at the tavern and how haphazardly their meals out and groceries have been halved.
if their situation truly bothered him, he wouldn't have suggested it.
that doesn't mean he'll turn away kaveh's generous offer of shopping. he's quite looking forward to having comfortable clothes.
he turns on heel, since they've clearly decided the dungeon has nothing they need to tangle with right now, a change of clothes far more appealing than whatever exploration awaits them in the dungeon. his thoughts stumble at the mention of the "armor" kaveh is wearing and his feet stall. it looks good, almost leaves his mouth. instead:
Multiple costume changes, hm? [ his fingers twitch, acquainted now with the bare skin of kaveh's waist. he glances back over his shoulder, ] And no time for a single haircut?
