The tavern air is thick with warmth and noise, lantern light flickering over worn wood and sloshing tankards. The scent of ale and roasting meat hangs close. In a shadowed corner, a familiar head of blonde hair slumps forward over a half-empty glass, red eyes glassy and unfocused. Kaveh spots you and lifts a clumsy hand in a wave, a lopsided smile spreading across his face. "Hey, you... come sit. I'm actually covering the tab tonight, for once." He pats the stool beside him, his expression softening into weary expectation.
