The motif of home is an essential concept to his character. Kaveh describes ‘home’ being different than to that of a ‘house’, as in a house indicates a solitary object, whereas ‘home’ refers to people

This is explained in the loss of Kaveh���s family resulted in his home becoming a house: “"Home" went from a sanctuary of warmth and light to a cold and lonely hall” (Kaveh Character Story 2).

The concept of a home, then, is particularly important in regard to Alhaitham as Alhaitham invited Kaveh to live in his house after Kaveh sold his family house to pay for the re-building of the Palace of Alcazarzaray. Kaveh, at this point in time, is described to be “homeless”, which is indicative of him not only being without a place to live, but without people which ‘home’ could come into fruition. After meeting Alhaitham for the first time in years after their parting, the concept of ‘home’ is directly related to Alhaitham:

Upon seeing his family’s house, his old “home”, which he had sold in order to provide the funding to rebuild the Palace of Alcazarzaray, Alhaitham prompts Kaveh to reflect on the pursuit of his ideals, whereafter Kaveh acknowledges that his ideals were not in the wrong, it is his method of achieving them. Kaveh resolves not to give up, and a second chance is presented to him in Alhaitham inviting Kaveh to live with him.

Where Kaveh ‘sees’ his old “home”, the family he no longer belongs to, all he lost due to his regrets, Alhaitham “sees” through Kaveh, understands him, and asks him a question which simultaneously renews his beliefs in his ideals and the future. This passage links Alhaitham’s sense of home to Kaveh, and offers Alhaitham as a home for Kaveh.

Musings on Cyno/Alhaitham/Candace + language

.

Candace tells Cyno he sounds like a textbook when he speaks in the desert tongue. More identifiably rainforest than passing merchants or even some scholars. Cyno confides that Cyrus never told him from where in the Sands he's even from; no tribe to seek out, no dialect to learn from, no folktales or traditions to even remember.

Candace starts helping him learn the Aaru dialect since. "Lending" it to him. Maybe Aaru Village wasn't the home he was born in, but she made sure it was the second home he was always welcome in.

.

Cyno taught Alhaitham simple Matra code when he was Acting Grand Sage. "Status check", "ok", and so on, in case of emergencies. Alhaitham first uses this in the Grand Sage office after a long day; stress had stolen from him speech and sign and writing, leaving behind weak taps and scratches of "escape needed".

Cyno starts asking "status check" more often since. Still in code. Even after he returned to being Scribe, even during meet ups with friends, an escape to silence can still be necessary.

.

Alhaitham asks Candace why she writes to him in Vedanagari script in personal letters. Her calligraphy is more stilted compared to her writing in Deshret script. Candace admits she craved a connection her father who was an Akademiya scholar; she couldn't spend much time with him growing up due to her Guardian training.

Alhaitham starts writing more letters to her since. Longer letters. About the Akademiya, calligraphy, and maybe someone who knows what it's like to seek your parents through written word.

Hi again!! I'm the sumeru NPC anon and damn you already knew what I was referring to. As expected! ❤️

I'm really bad at explaining so I really love how you lay out all the points. It's verrrry satisfying

Off topic, but I just wanted to also share that I was going through my teapot and noticed that kaveh's preferred furnishing sets are outdoors whereas Alhaitham's are indoors. It was a pretty neat detail and I thought it suited their personalities well.

Hiya anon!! Thank you for both asks!! You're giving me opportunities to think about things I haven't considered thoroughly hehe <333

Alhaitham and Kaveh's furnishing sets... another instance of them as mirrors... :')

It's as you say! These furnishing sets, one being outdoors and the other inside, adheres to their personalities! Kaveh's being outdoors makes sense considering his artistic sensibility. His preferred furnishing set 'Amidst Scents and Scenery' references Razan Garden in its description, which aligns with Alhaitham telling the player in Kaveh's Hangout that Kaveh likes showing his friends around Razan Garden. Additionally, this furnishing set describes it as being able to provide someone with inspiration, which makes sense considering Kaveh's penchant for the outdoors in order to seek motivation, as seen within his hangout, where he takes the player to the desert. He also has a voice-line stating the importance of going outside since people aren't made to stay 'cooped up' all the time. When interacting with him near his preferred furnishing set 'Of Twirling Dances Unfettered' he expresses his love for the theatre due to its ability to provide an escape from his worries, referring once more to artistic and emotional sensibility.

Alhaitham's preferred furnishing sets, in comparison, are indoors, which perfectly mirrors Kaveh's. 'Of Settled Thoughts' aligns with Alhaitham's pursuit of knowledge being through that of language, in that patience is required in order to acquire different forms of wisdom, as is expressed in the furnishing set's description and in Alhaitham's comments about people not lacking intellect, but patience. 'Fervid Aroma' consists of an indoor kebab station, and the description is rather interesting since it pertains to both Alhaitham and Dehya (as it is also Dehya's preferred furnishing set).

These instances are relevant to both Dehya and Alhaitham, as Dehya, a mercenary, is shown to move in groups in order to relax and bond with others, but also moving solo so as to obtain information. 'For those who move alone' also serves as a reference to Alhaitham, due to his initial methods of conduct within the Archon Quest, but also due to preference for solitude - or time for himself, as expressed in his voicelines. However, "All one would then need was some friends for company and a few jugs of fine wine, and this would be the perfect dining experience" can definitely refer to Alhaitham, not just Dehya, as Alhaitham can be seen in the tavern with his friends, Kaveh, Cyno, and Tighnari, in his character trailer - and recently, with Alhaitham's 2024 birthday art, we know that the four meet in the tavern on various occasions.

Some things of note drawing parallels between the two of them are, of course, the mention of coffee. Kaveh mentions getting a new coffee grinder in his teapot dialogue, and also leaving the house in a hurry so he forgot to bring any coffee with him, while Alhaitham has the idle quote 'coffee...'. This is interesting because drinking coffee together is canonically confirmed as a past-time for the two of them, as it is mentioned in Kaveh's 2023 birthday letter that the two tasted coffee beans together. Reading into this, it seems that Kaveh's coffee grinder is used to make coffee for the two of them (The details of them both mentioning coffee in the teapot brings a domestic vibe to the function that everyone appreciates <3333)

Additionally, the shared idle quote of them needing to go 'back' - or in Alhaitham's case, 'home'. Without me going into it too much, Alhaitham's usage of 'home' is very interesting when considering Kaveh's teapot dialogue of him discussing the meaning of 'home' being a place with people and meaningful connection, rather than just a building. If you're interested, i've added my other posts which may be of interest to you about 'home' in relation to haikaveh, i have many thoughts about this because i love being normal <3333

thank you for your ask anon!!

Okay big brain thought time:

Phantom thief Haikaveh AU.

Kaveh is a phantom thief who loves his dramatics and stealing from rich people. Is still hella in debt cause he gives away everything like the most sopping wet rag version of Robin Hood. Uses mad architecture knowledge to evaluate buildings. His arch nemesis? Detective Alhaitham.

Meanwhile, Dectective Alhaitham is a bored detective who will not be working overtime on this new thief case, thank you very much. Accidentally keeps foiling Kaveh's heists by running into him and Kaveh can't keep himself from arguing with him and getting caught by all the yelling. Hmm? Archnemesis? He has no time for such a ridiculous notion, besides, Kaveh practically catches himself, Alhaitham would much rather spend the time reading a good book.
