Indeed... I believe it's better for all involved to be grateful for what luck we do have. [Olivine can assuredly think of worse places to end up... but that is most definitely not something he wants to think about.] Ah—no, nothing too uncomfortable. Waking up with someone else in a bed I didn't recognise was certainly not expected, but they were cordial enough.

[which is good enough for him, at least. and when neither of them had any memory of it, it helped to solidify it as... well, probably not just a moment of poor judgment on Olivine's part. his weight shifts as Kaveh leans against the counter, humming softly.]

I am a temple priest, yes. [a hand rises to his chest, and his brows furrow slightly before he continues.] But please do not undersell your own skill and importance. Without people like yourself, we priests would have no location in which to provide aid to others, and the value of a home, a roof over one's head, cannot be understated in the pursuit of mental and physical health. [certainly, there are some for whom that roof is... transient, if existent at all, but these are the exception and not the rule in his experience.]

Nobility is where one sees it, I believe... and though it may be easy to feel inadequate in your own contributions when looking upon others', one can easily miss the reality that they may feel just the same way. The best progress is made when people band together and bolster one another with their own abilities.
