I couldn't say, we've never had a bet before, have we?

[noarchitact]

...no. But, fine, we can take pictures at each location. Right before we leave, even. It'll be a commemorative photo in addition to being the proof you so desire~ Ayato.

[acquirement]

That does sound rather nice. I keep forgetting we have a means to take pictures more easily here. Which reminds me... have you got Alhaitham has your phone wallpaper?

[noarchitact]

W- Why do you ask?

[acquirement]

{ he laughs at that response. }

I was going to share my own wallpaper.

{ he'll pull out his phone, swiping past the lock screen which is very much of himself and ayaka. a very cute picture.

to show the one underneath. kaveh will recognise the background, which is the entrance to the festival where someone was taking photographs for people, and in the photo itself ayato has leaned in to kiss thoma on the cheek who looks a bit flustered by it. it's a very cute picture honestly. very wholesome. }

[noarchitact]

...oh! ah, sure! Let's see it. [ he manages to dial back the embarrassment as he leans over to take a look at his lock screen. it prompts a smile, because it's definitely a really cute picture. the wallpaper has his smile broadening because it also has thoma in it. incredibly wholesome!! ] How cute. I really like the second one. I should probably change mine to something from our beach trip, but, here, have a look...

[ he takes out his phone to show off that his lock screen is a picture of him, alhaitham, and their octocat something akin to the commission i got, but without the arguing. all wholesome! ] My lock screen is, ah, [ his face colors just a little bit. ] ... [ he unlocks it to reveal the two of them at the beach during a sunset. ]

{ he smiles back at him. }

It was our first official date, so of course it needed a picture to capture the special occasion.

{ even if thoma was tricked into it. }

It's a lovely photograph.

{ kaveh may be blushing, but ayato sounds very sincere with this. }

[noarchitact]

...mm, of course, and it's a real nice picture. I'm sure your camera reel will be full of pictures of the both of you soon enough. If, of course, it isn't already. I might not take an abundance of pictures of myself and Alhaitham [ most because he's not sure he enjoys that kind of thing. ] but I definitely keep a journal about each of the dates we've had. [ in addition to other things... but he has to talk about the dates. ] Not that I think I will, but... I don't want to forget what great days they'd all been.

Thank you. It's one of my favorites.

[acquirement]

Not as many as you'd think. I often forget this even has that kind of feature. Though that is a nice sentiment in itself. I don't have something like that, but... { he trails off for a moment, going quiet. } I do have a notebook of hopes for the future. Plans I'd like to happen.

[noarchitact]

...ah. Perhaps I can remind you. [ ! ] Or take a couple of candid shots of the both of you here and there. I really do think those can be some of the best. [ a small smile... although it starts fading when ayato's own troubles about the future begins weighing on him. kaveh reaches for his hand, giving it a squeeze. ] I'd like to hear about them sometime, if you're willing to share.

[acquirement]

Either would be very kind, thank you. { because yes, the more natural shots really are nice. it's why he's so fond of the one on his background, he'd caught thoma by surprise. }

But of course. Next time we have drinks together I'll share it with you.

[noarchitact]

And perhaps you can do the same... although catching Alhaitham off-guard is easier said than done.

I'm looking forward to it. We should drink together regularly - catch up on what's going on and all that.

[acquirement]

I imagine he tries to keep out of the way of photographs, doesn't he?

And we should, though... { he clears his throat } It may get expensive if we do it in bars instead of at home.

[noarchitact]

He does. Alhaitham isn't interested in the limelight. He was acting Grand Sage of Sumeru for some time and he couldn't wait to return to his job as a humble scribe.

Mm, true, but there's something about going out and getting out of the house that I prefer. We can mix it up though, so we both don't go broke drinking ourselves silly. [ kaveh, there's only one of the two of you that does that. ]

[acquirement]

I can understand that. Despite my position, most of the public have never actually seen me. { he gives kaveh a small smile. } Ayaka handles a lot of the public affairs.

But that seems like a good compromise.
