If you listen to everyone else, I'm always some varying degrees of 'bad'. Especially Kaveh.

[It wasn't on purpose, but sometimes there were some people that acting a certain way toward yielded the best results. It was Kaveh's own fault for being just a great debate partner that showcased a tone of different emotions every time. It was great.

Aether was a bit different. He had the ability to volley back and forth with him. Even if he didn't fully understand the subject, Aether was usually able to keep up, and that meant everything to Alhaitham.]

Well, if you must ask, it was because I couldn't fight him in a true fight without testing how generous Cyno was going to be with assault charges. Azar is as delicate as a scholar with a bloated ego can get, so swiping at him menacingly had to do.

The acting really was what had to sell it.

[ He recalled the events while petting Aether's hair, leaning against the top of his head.]

If you ever need someone with experience acting like a cat, I guess I am at your disposal.
