[ Kaveh hears the door open before he sees it and turns to face Alhaitham, the hesitance and anxiety alike both written all over his face. Without them, he'd no doubt look quite elegant right now; in black slacks and a slim-fitting red shirt he bought early on in his stay at the resort, he looks every bit the part he usually plays back in Sumeru: refined and fashionable at any cost.
But as it is, his red kohl-lined eyes are underscored with dark circles, and his lower lip so heavily bitten it looks bruised in places; even as he smiles in greeting, he's looking for an escape from this, and so it's no surprise that he looks squirrelly to the other man.
He holds his ground, though, to his credit. Swallows hard against the anxiety. ]
I'm fine.
[ It's said abruptly, and Kaveh takes the invitation for what it was, slipping past Alhaitham into the suite. ]
