he's not the easiest person to get along with but he is a remarkable genius. once he stops sulking about whatever is translating everything for us, he'll be interested in exploring.
and despite what he'll say about it, he's a mean hand in a fight.
well, that's a bit tricky. He doesn't really limit himself to one field or college. He's primarily a Haravatat scholar--ah, that would be semiotics--but he's excellent with elemental energy and he frequently explores old ruins. He's...well, he's not as good with machines as I am, but he's still decent.
He seeks out knowledge like plants seek sunlight. In terms of sheer understanding of the world we're from, I don't think anyone who isn't a god knows more than he does.
[Kaveh takes a moment to think about this. What else should Cid know about Alhaitham before talking to him....]
...just, despite his temper and personality, you can trust him. He hates lying and he's unnecessarily blunt with his opinions, but he's loyal, and while he never does kind things that don't also benefit him, it doesn't mean he doesn't do them. He's just weird and sideways about it.

And a "genius," you say? What field?

He already sounds like he'd make a fine asset just from that alone. Was he one of the people you told me about before?
no subject
I can try and bring him to the ship to talk. He's not...taking very well to sea travel, but I usually win arguments.
[This may be the greatest lie Kaveh's ever told.]

I promise he'll behave.

he can be pretty taciturn with people he doesn't know very well, but trust me, once he does it's kind of hard to get him to shut up.
no subject
In that case, no need to worry. Handled that type many a time.
no subject
I didn't think he'd pose too much of a problem for you, no.
no subject
Anything else I should know?

From the sounds of it, you two must be close.
no subject
...I suppose so.

I'll save the rest of the questions for the man himself, but I at least with your staunch support I see no reason to refuse.

[Kaveh you are fooling literally no one.]
no subject
I'll talk with you later, Kaveh.
[AND JUST GOING TO DITCH HIM JUST LIKE THAT have fun stewing over those words.]
