( It's not that he's dismissing Alhaitham's response by any measure, but he can't help but shake his head once those words land on his ears. The Scribe has proven him wrong before - but Kaveh's self-destructive thoughts are a beast of their own that seem far from being tamed. )
You can give it your best shot.
( Oh, the inn ... right. Kaveh looks dazed and bewildered for a moment, as if the blonde man hadn't even considered what his accommodation may look like tonight. Was he just planning on getting drunk and sleeping in the bar? Perhaps. It wouldn't be the first time he had done such an endeavour. )
I ... guess that's in order, yes. Okay. ( It's better than him refusing the bare minimum levels of self-care from Alhaitham. Arm in arm, Kaveh heads down the cobblestone paths of Kanshi with his former housemate to try and find a place to stay. The streets are lined with soft glowing lanterns, and the faint aroma of flowers can be detected in the damp air. It's definitely nothing like Sumeru, but whether Kaveh realises it or not, he can feel the cracks of his broken heart beginning to mend with Alhaitham here at last. Even though he subconsciously resists acts of self-care by instinct, this is definitely a step in the right direction.
The shiba inu innkeepers give both men a key, before escorting them to their room. There is an onsen, a lounge area, and menus to order food from. )
Oh, we ... mmm. ( Kaveh pauses, staring at the bed situation.) We should've specified that we needed separate beds, shouldn't we ... ( Sigh. ) Well, if you're fine with it, then I am too.
