This is Alhaitham.
Leave a message. Or don't. I don't really care either way.

[dianxie]

Alright, I was just trying to help. You can forget I said anything.

[ He looks up then, after a moment's inner debate. ]

Did you miss me, even a little?

[linguaphilia]

[And Alhaitham likely will just put it to one side, as easily as that. The question has him shaking his head, though not entirely in denial of it. More in... patient disbelief.]

If you're asking me if I pine for you when you're not with me, or if I think about you and wish you were there when I'm otherwise occupied with a task, then no. [But surely Xie Lian would know this. He has seemed to understand Alhaitham so far, he had to know that this question would not garner the sort of answer that would satisfy him.]

You come to mind occasionally, when I see something that might strike your fancy.

[Which is more than what most people get.]

[dianxie]

Not pine.

[ That has him laughing, swatting at Alhaitham's chest. He can't picture Alhaitham carving statues of him, to say the least.

Xie Lian shakes his head and settles back in for a cuddle, humming. ]

I'm content to hear the latter.

[ Alhaitham is strange and a little silly, but he is kind. ]

[linguaphilia]

Hm. Very well.

[Most people only perceive that Alhaitham is odd in how he interacts socially. Few people would describe him as kind, or in any genuinely positive way save for comments on his intelligence and ability in spite of the deliberate way he seems to squander it most of the time.]

To know that I enjoy time in your company ought to be enough. There are not many people who can say that.
