[A certain sense of restlessness comes over Alhaitham almost as soon as he says those words, some part of him uncertain as to how Kaveh will take any of this at all. It's not really an admission he ever thought he'd made; he has, after all, gotten by just fine back in Sumeru, and had been content to keep it that way. But now that they're in this situation, where ultimately they have nobody else to turn to except each other...
Alhaitham doesn't know what is the best thing to do here, honestly. They're safe and fine, as much as they can be, but at the same time there's that ever present reminder of the unpredictable nature of this place and it is just... hard to swallow that, honestly. He's trying, but its hard, and the whole thing with the dragons had ultimately been a reminder of all of those thing he'd been doing his best to not linger over for too long.
Luckily for him, he doesn't have to wait long for Kaveh to respond, and what he says is... not too bad, actually. Certainly better than what he'd been expecting, even if the later half of said words are... well.]
It is not, because I've already been doing that. [He gives Kaveh a pointed look here, because. Well. What else has Alhaitham been doing all this time, if not observing Kaveh, and so much more? Kaveh, more than anyone else besides his grandmother, had been the one who taught him many things in his own way, in both the personal as well as general. Nobody else has and could ever really do the same, not after all this time.]
