Oh- yeah. I've been doing competitive swimming since I was kid. [ He shrugs. ] It's kind of unimpressive compared to the skills other people have, like "sealing away calamitous evil".
[SWEET RIN. Kaveh doesn't wear socks, though, so he can at least slip his sandals off and push his pant legs up to dangle his feet in the water. He's wearing his IKEA fit so he's not as particular about it getting damp.]
I know what you mean. I've never really longed for that kind of role, but it is a little intimidating to be around such distinguished people. [He's famous back home, but he's still just an architect, after all.] ...Still, I don't imagine they'd appreciate being put on pedestals.
Mm, maybe. A good friend of mine is very intent on carrying out justice--I could see him being the type, perhaps, if he didn't like his card game so much.
[Saving the world on the regular versus getting to play Genshin Yu-Gi-Oh... a tough choice...]
He is. [Kaveh sounds fond... fwendship.] He seems so intimidating when you first meet him, but as long as you're on his good side, he'll hit you with the worst jokes you've ever heard.
[The word "were" catches him off-guard; a solemn reminder of their situation. Still, he tries not to let it show.]
A little while. He was technically my junior at the Akademiya, but I didn't really meet him until a mutual friend of ours introduced us. They've both been very kind to me.

Though, that being said--] Your profile mentioned you swim fast? Do you do races, then?

Yeah, I'm sure if they had the choice they'd take swimming over fighting evil. Or not, there are probably some people that enjoy it?

The... Akademiya? [ help ] Is that your school?
