[ah. it seems he'd gotten a little too into worrying, hadn't he? he does look a little sheepish as Kaveh explains, head shaking lightly.]

I don't know if that's true... but I'm glad to hear that I misunderstood. But—ah.

[his head ducks when Kaveh turns back to the mirror, exhaling a soft sigh. it's embarrassing, of course, but...]

To tell the truth... it isn't entirely a secret. I just... would rather have fewer people know about it outright, I suppose. Even with this game.

[maybe it's a strange conversation, but this whole place is strange too, isn't it? Olivine laughs softly, shaking his head.]

No... it's alright. I wouldn't want to ask you to do anything you didn't enjoy. I can't imagine liking something like that. [not if Kaveh really is so much like him. there are a few things he would do happily for some people, but in general?]

I'm sure we could find something that works for us together, for the game's sake, yes. For now we're still waiting for whatever they decide, right? So there's no need to rush into anything.

[rubbing his cheek, Olivine glances to the baths, the mirror, then back to Kaveh.]

Mm... if you were planning on bathing, I wouldn't want to interrupt you. I'm happy to continue talking, though, if you'd like.

[is it just to get away from thinking about the mirror? maybe.]
