[Kaveh trailing off into a doze is perhaps for the best, as not long after that happens Alhaitham feels a tap on his shoulder, and he glances over to see their target, who is now regarding him with a rather knowing smile.
Been a while since I've seen something like this, he says, though rather than the playful tone from earlier he now sounds... almost wistful. I concede. I'll make the arrangements to have the goods returned, you have my word.
Alhaitham doesn't say anything in response then, though the look that he sends over is perhaps more than enough to convey the things he is not saying out loud. It's hard to say for certain, but the bandit huffs out a quiet chuckle and gives Alhaitham one more pat on the shoulder before taking his leave, waving a farewell as he vanishes into the crowd.
...and speaking of the crowd...
Some of them attempt to come closer now that the so-called 'showdown' is more or less done, but a quick glare from Alhaitham is enough to ward them off. Once he's certain that nobody is going to try and interrupt he returns his attention to his senior and runs his hands over his back one last time, coming to a stop at his hips as he leans in close once more.]
Kaveh, we're done. [He tells his senior in a quiet murmur. If that is enough to wake him up then its fine, but if he is too deeply asleep then that too, is fine, but Alhaitham wants to make sure first before deciding what to do next.]
