It's a good question, but frightening. Kaveh's fight or flight instinct kicks in, and suddenly he wants to take several steps back, physically and emotionally both, to put himself back in a place of safety. There's no doubting the fact that, easy to read as he is, the emotions play out all over his face, but that also means Alhaitham will see the way he forcibly gathers himself together, taking a steadying breath as this time he is the one to reach out, hands taking the younger's face in hold, fingers stroking along the pale skin. ]
Where do we go? I... [ Another breath. ] I wanna be with you, if that's what you want too. I know that... I know it's difficult, being here. I'm jealous of everyone you've been with other than me, but. But I also know we have to. And if there are other people who can make it work, surely we can. Right?
