[Cyno sq2 spoilers ahead] A comic about Cyno and Haitham discussing what Cyno learned of himself in the Temple of Silence I originally started this after we met Cyno in Mondstadt for windblume LAST YEAR. The "he adopted me, educated me" line is a direct quote from when we meet Cyno and Lisa in the library during that event. Hope you enjoy!

before i get my thoughts down about haikaveh's progression in cyno's story quest, here is a list of things of note about the quest in general!
the boys (and collei...??) having sentimental group dinners where the traveller and paimon are mentioned fondly
cyrus canonical smoker
urraca reverse hag reveal?
kaveh buying wine and coffee beans for him and alhaitham to share, as in them trying coffee beans together isn't solely for kaveh's bday
FAMILY CAMPING TRIP??
tighnari giving cyno A Look and cyno saying he would rather not get told off okay domesticity...
tighnari + cyno canonical tent sharing, i know what you are
alhaitham and kaveh being the 'sleepwalking fungi', okay devolving into a fungus <333
kaveh and alhaitham bullying the traveller's two star blade
a flashback cutscene for no other reason to establish haikaveh's domesticity
kaveh perching on the table to gossip with alhaitham
alhaitham's fond smiles
alhaitham putting his book down to gossip with kaveh
alhaitham looking up to watch kaveh draw the emblem,,, and the cutscene making it a point to show us this
kaveh sitting on the table AGAIN to talk with alhaitham, but 0 feet apart
kaveh's fond smiles???
kaveh's admiration of a symbol prompting alhaitham to identify architectural signets...
kaveh reading alhaitham's mind and agreeing to help him search even though alhaitham didn't ask him to...
alhaitham complaining about the lack of coffee, and kaveh wishing they had brought some from home...
kaveh asking alhaitham to teach him something, alhaitham complying AND teasing kaveh at the same time
ALHAITHAM MENTIONING WANTING COFFEE AND THINKING ABOUT IT, KAVEH THEN THINKING ABOUT GETTING MEHRAK TO BRING COFFEE TO THEM
alhaitham and kaveh finishing each other's sentences
tighnari and cyno commenting how imperative it is that alhaitham and kaveh worked together to uncover the temple of silence's involvement
tighnari and cyno completing each other's sentences
tighnari and cyno not having to properly communicate to know exactly what the other is thinking, causing cyno to switch tactics
tighnari providing cyno clarity during an emotional shakedown
another comment from cyno + tighnari about how essential it is that kaveh and alhaitham are working together as their advice gives them the upper hand
sethos??? identity crisis teen angst gone wrong :((
cyno establishing that he is his own person outside of the power so highly coveted, which tighnari affirms, happy that cyno has awareness of this???
the temple of silence being able to be accessed by people who cyno and nahida deem worthy?
tighnari a descendant of the people that hermanubis was selected from to be a familiar to deshret..?? linking him not only directly to the temple of silence but also cyno,, and cyno saying that he likes this story??
collei cyno tighnari family, they use codes, it was originally cyno and tighnari's but now its extended to collei, it's their love language im-
cyno questioning alhaitham and kaveh studying together, highlighting that this is not a common occurrence and is NOTEWORTHY (also, the delivery?? im gonna get you)
kaveh stressing about reorganising the books and alhaitham reassuring him, so gently, that there's 'no rush'
cyno and tighnari saying AGAIN how imperative it is that kaveh and alhaitham worked together for a swift and beneficial outcome
kaveh expressing an interest in the temple of silence, with cyno saying that the akademiya and the temple of silence will maintain good relations because the temple of silence is IMPORTANT?? (future sumeru events...)
kaveh canonically having caffeine overload jitters whilst alhaitham has the tolerance of a tank
After the two leave the house of daena there are two pairs of two coffee cups and coffee brewers on the table?? They are bringing the domesticity EVERYWHERE
alhaitham and kaveh leaving the tavern together, they are inseparable this quest we get it
KAVEH REFERRING TO THE HOUSE AS 'HOME'. DIRECTLY TO ALHAITHAM. HELLO??
alhaitham then agreeing with kaveh about going to the house of daena before going 'home', with a 'my thoughts exactly', guys,,, they are so in sync here im eating mortar
cyno taking the traveller and paimon to his best friend tree??? also where he and tighnari spent a lot of time together
cyno establishing his self worth respective of his power!!
sethos potentially a part of the family... my heart is in my mouth <333
tighnari understanding cyno without words - "CYNO: ...It's Professor Cyrus. You guys carry on without me. I'll be right back." "Tighnari : Okay."
soft cyno and cyrus interaction, there are things that cannot be said, but the emotion is so palpable
overall i had a really great experience with this quest!! it was so great to see everyone in sumeru again and to develop the lore + character relationships. this really expanded upon cyno as a character, a person, rather than the figure of authority/power he is seen as, and established how important his family ties are to him
as for haikaveh, i have THOUGHTS which i will expand upon at another time... but overall, the progression for them is very much present here and very promising! <3
Update: my analysis of haikaveh's progression is here!
#haikaveh#kavetham#cynonari#cyno story quest spoilers#alhaitham#kaveh#yes i still dont believe this quest happened#there’s so much to unpack here and i’ve only just begun#the coffee motif symbolic of domesticity and serenity for haikaveh is making go CRAZY#they have improved so much since a parade of providence#thank u @ homoverse

Everyone out here going crazy over Kaveh sitting on a table, meanwhile, I'm like "Okay, but imagine how absolutely feral Alhaitham will go with the information that Cyno and Tighnari have discovered an entire enormous library of physical books Alhaitham's never, ever read before, focused on exactly his research hyperfixation."
Like, could Alhaitham be living a better life???
The wedding is back on, His roommate is finally warming up to him, he was able to successfully resign from his stressful job back into his cushy scribe role, and now he gets to experience the nerd equivalent of a lifetime of birthdays coming early.
My dude's crops are watered, his skin is clear--

I think what really gets me about kaveh's character story 5 is that a lot of people seem to think that alhaitham is cold. but like, the fallout of their friendship happened because he cared too much. because alhaitham was worried about kaveh and the self-destructive pursuit of his ideals/spiral he was trapped in thanks to his guilt, realized that this idealism would cause problems for kaveh in the future, and tried to warn him about it. and kaveh didn't take it well.
and yeah, he was probably too blunt about it as usual, but i'm sure kaveh telling him that he regretted ever being friends with him (considering they were best friends - also, that confirmation from mhy that is canon is great - and kaveh is likely alhaitham's first friend) must've deeply hurt alhaitham. because yeah, he's intelligent and rational and doesn't outwardly emote much when he's not arguing with kaveh, but he's still human. he still has feelings. and it's kaveh that crossed the line and destroyed what they had between them (which i'm sure he'd regretted later, something that probably only added to the immense guilt plageuing him). we all knew that whatever happened between them had to have been explosive, given the hints from alhaitham's character stories, but ouch.
honestly, poor alhaitham. and poor kaveh. </3
just. mhy really went all-in on the angst with kaveh's character stories, and it's delicious. absolutely adore what they did here

The improvement in alhaitham and kaveh’s relationship post-parade of providence is TANGIBLE!!! I’ll talk about things of note from cyno's story quest 2 before posting my deep diving into what this all means for them <3
Firstly, kaveh’s appearance in the tavern being to pick up his order of wine, only to show his parting from the traveller, to ask lambad whether his order includes ‘the coffee beans’ – which is a direct reference to his 2023 bday letter in which he and alhaitham test coffee beans together for his birthday, and now, canonically, this can be observed as a common practice for the two of them – this is symbolic of domesticity, as the two only do this outside of the player’s sight, confined to the privacy of their home.
Alhaitham’s introduction within this quest is waking the traveller up (to which they ignore haikaveh and honestly, valid) due to their discovery of the temple of silence – and I think this is a little self-indulgent on my part, but I think it’s Interesting that tighnari mentions that the tent paimon picks is prone to being stumbled into by ‘sleepwalking fungi’, which prompts cyno to encourage the traveller to safeguard their tent with a weapon. Paimon comments on the improbability they will be attacked or woken up by uninvited guests, and lo and behold, haikaveh turn up – implying they are the sleepwalking fungi? it’s reminiscent of alhaitham’s story quest where alhaitham questions if kaveh would devolve into a fungus, to which kaveh replies he would be a fungus with empathy… if this is at all deliberate, it’s a really cute parallel!!
The completely unnecessary flashback scene in haikaveh’s house, it’s purely there to showcase the development of their relationship - there was no need to animate something that could have been exposition?
(The scene is established with alhaitham reading a book with kaveh offscreen preparing snacks and wine for the two of them, and when kaveh enters, alhaitham puts the book down and directly engages with kaveh’s conversation with a CRIMINAL smile on his face. Kaveh continues the conversation whilst sitting on the table, which shows his comfort and familiarity within the house? With alhaitham? This is also heightened when he leans back on the table during the conversation. Alhaitham is shown thinking about the case and kaveh offers to draw the emblem on the paper of the extortion letter – when kaveh turns his back to do so, their conversation is halted, and only then does alhaitham bring out the book again, but there is a deliberate still on his face as he looks UP from his book to look at kaveh sketching? There was no need for this.!!.>!!!
When kaveh returns to show alhaitham the sketch, the book is gone again, and the previous distance between them is closed – kaveh sits on the table in front of alhaitham, and this creates an intimacy as the two directly face each other. this couldn’t have been established solely by sitting next to each other on the divan. Alhaitham smiles at the sketch and notes that he recognises it, to which kaveh smiles(!!!) at and questions this. Alhaitham recognises the ARCHITECTURAL signets within the symbol, which not only relates back to their joint thesis but also their character concepts as mirrors, as alhaitham appropriates kaveh’s architecture, and kaveh has appropriated alhaitham’s language – which suggests a balance between the two.)
Alhaitham and kaveh working together to identify the emblem to be that of the temple of silence acts as the catalyst for the chain of events within the story quest
Kaveh quipping at alhaitham keeping the salary of the acting grand sage – but with no animosity behind it!??? his last expression during this dialogue honestly looks exasperated but in a fond way…. Im ill….
Alhaitham and kaveh looking at each other when discussing how the case doesn’t make sense… just alhaitham and kaveh looking at each other and deliberating over the other’s thoughts… finally… listening to each other and working together…
The additional (HIDDEN) scene in the house of daena where they begin researching, with alhaitham commenting that he will look for texts pertaining to the temple of silence, to which kaveh says it will take too long, and then agreeing to help alhaitham, without alhaitham having to ask, which demonstrates their improved synergy. Kaveh asks alhaitham how to teach him in gaining information on the sly, to which alhaitham DOES but teases him about it at the same time, but so fondly... I would say this scene mirrors the additional scene in the archon quest, with kaveh talking to alhaitham by the bookshelves and accusing him of stirring trouble in sumeru, while alhaitham appears bitter that kaveh was in the desert during the overturning of the sages. There is a distinct shift in their relationship here – in the past, the two missed an opportunity to work together, whereas here they are voluntarily banding together (which ive discussed here)
COFFEE MENTION 2! Alhaitham mentions how he wants to drink coffee, to which kaveh laments that he wasn’t able to bring any from home. When using nahida’s skill on them, alhaitham can be seen thinking about wanting coffee,,, and then kaveh is thinking about how to get to coffee to them by using mehrak. Even their thoughts are working in tandem??? This contrasts with their individual thoughts in alhaitham’s story quest, where kaveh is thinking about how alhaitham was being vindictive towards kaveh drunkenly writing on the bulletin boards, and labelling alhaitham as having ‘terrible thoughts’, all the while alhaitham is thinking about how dusty the bookshelves are… the progress is STARTLING
When the group reconvene in the house of daena, alhaitham and kaveh have progressed their research on their own accord and based on what naphis has told them. When explaining, the two complete each other’s sentences, and this rounds off with alhaitham conjecturing that the goal of the assailant was to get cyrus to see the letter, which makes kaveh realise cyno’s motivations, and for alhaitham then to ascertain cyrus’s whereabouts. Naphis then assigns alhaitham and kaveh to be in charge of the house of daena, to which they both agree, and alhaitham… smiles? With so much pride? WE GET IT YOU’RE WORKING TOGETHER!!!! SHUT!!!
Cyno and tighnari mention TWICE how essential it is that kaveh and alhaitham worked together, with mentioning how imperative it was that kaveh spotted the emblem and that alhaitham connected it to the temple of silence, and then how alhaitham gave tighnari advice on desert cultural traditions, which aligned with kaveh’s experiences with desert tribes, which gives tighnari the idea to turn the tables on the temple of silence
Returning to the house of daena, cyno highlights that it is STRANGE that kaveh and alhaitham are working together, in that he is surprised to see them studying together? This draws further attention to the unlikeliness of the situation, and that this MEANS something in regard to their relationship!
Kaveh stressing about having to pack away their copious research materials, only for alhaitham to reassure him that there’s ‘no rush’… so gentle
Cyno and tighnari thanking alhaitham and kaveh for WORKING TOGETHER as it allowed them to find a swift and good outcome
COFFEE MENTION 3! Cyno offering to take everyone for coffee, which alhaitham agrees to, and kaveh agreeing to, although he says that because of the last few days, he’ll order something different (confirming that alhaitham has the caffeine tolerance of a tank and kaveh gets caffeine jitters thank u @ hoyo). On the table the two were studying, two trays of a pair of coffee cups and coffee brewers can be seen… the same that can be seen in their house??? Meaning they brought their domesticity to the library with them… and they also sat across from each other, which reminds me of how kaveh sat in front of alhaitham in their house, rather than next to him…
Kaveh and alhaitham sitting next to each other in the café <333
KAVEH CALLING THE HOUSE ‘HOME’ TO ALHAITHAM??? IN FRONT OF THEIR FRIENDS?? This is a big contrast to kaveh in a parade of providence and alhaitham’s story quest who hated to having admit such a thing. And then alhaitham AGREEING that the house is ‘HOME’, and again their thoughts align with ‘my thoughts exactly’. Alhaitham and kaveh leaving together, to the house of daena (where they met, where it ended, and where they have been shown to bond together in this quest) and then back to their shared ‘home’... oh......
from this, kaveh no longer seems defensive or reserved in front of alhaitham, and makes no notion of criticising alhaitham, offering to help alhaitham into researching, and even asking alhaitham to teach him something he deems as a useful skill which he lacks. he openly takes onboard alhaitham's views on the case and responds in kind in order to come to a resolution. he actively makes time in his day to spend with alhaitham, seen in them enjoying snacks/wine/coffee together and talking about his day. he describes the house they share as a 'home', which, for kaveh, is imperative to his character due to his loss of family (which ive posted about here)
alhaitham, similarly, is less critical of kaveh, and this is because a seemingly resolved miscommunication between them. he is receptive to, and encourages, kaveh to communicate with him when it comes to things that kaveh believes to be noteworthy, actively focussing solely on kaveh, rather than his book, when kaveh initiates conversation. he equally seems to enjoy this time spent with kaveh, as he is seen nowhere else but by kaveh's side during this story quest, wanting (kaveh's) coffee within the library which would establish a familiar and domestic setting elsewhere outside of their home. when leaving his group of friends at puspa's, saying that it's him 'done for the day', he retreats with kaveh, back to their shared 'home'
overall, alhaitham and kaveh's relationship has improved VASTLY since their first interaction in the archon quest. there seems to be an understanding between them now and this results in comfort and familiarity where they used to be miscommunication and snipes, and there appears to be a balancing of their viewpoints as they appreciate in the other what was once viewed as mirror opposites never to align, being that of language and architecture. a sense of harmony(?) balance(?) has been established here, and this is shown to be the ideal course of their reconciliation. im so weak......
#haikaveh#kavetham#alhaitham#kaveh#cyno story quest spoilers#alhaitham x kaveh#kaveh x alhaitham#haikaveh meta#genshin meta#the table that kaveh perches on and coffee beans are now canon haikaveh motifs#we have keys the house the table and coffee beans?? all so domestic#never getting over the flashback scene in their HOME just to show the player their progression#WHAT DID THEY TALK ABOUT EXACTLY TO GET TO THIS POINT#OR WAS IT JUST A NATURAL SOFTENING AFTER A PARADE OF PROVIDENCE?#as in kaveh readjusted his view of alhaitham and softened towards him outwardly#which resulted in alhaitham recognising a shift had occurred and responded in kind?? SO MANY QUESTIONS

HaiKaveh Domesticity is Over 9000 and I'm So Here for It
I didn't just hallucinate MHY devoting an entire third of a story quest plus one epilogue to Kaveh and Alhaitham bitching at each other like a couple that's been together for 75 years, right? Right? I mean, it's possible but if so, that hallucination included
Kaveh asking Alhaitham to help straighten a painting the only thing that'll be straightening here pfft like a 1950s housewife asking her man to get something from the top shelf
Alhaitham telling Kaveh to entertain the guests while he fucks off and Kaveh again reacting like a 1950s housewife piqued by having to be nice to her husband's no-good friends
That. fucking. face.
4. Like seriously what is that shifty look and that little smile. What.
4.a. You're either trying to keep the marriage a secret or are under some kind of one-sided delusion of a break-up while Alhaitham's making you custom keys and happily filling your name in every official form in the "spouse" column.
5. Kaveh acting like all of Sumeru doesn't already know he's sleeping with shacked up with Alhaitham.
6. Kaveh apparently being UNAWARE that he's already told all of Sumeru he's shacked up with Alhaitham.
7. Kaveh bitching at Alhaitham about cleaning the house. Multiple times.
8. The fucking. Evolution exchange. "You're gonna devolve into a fungus." Alhaitham, is that your way of saying Kaveh's grown on you? Like mold???
9. Kaveh actually being worried asking if Alhaitham’s ok and trying to conceal it with more bitching.
9.a. Also Alhaitham picking really odd things to needle Kaveh about, like working himself to the bone for a client’s approval. Kaveh obviously interprets these as digs but given how direct Alhaitham usually is with criticism, it’s almost like he’s being concerned, after a fashion?
10. Kaveh demanding Alhaitham take him furniture shopping and buy him drinks after as thanks and thinking himself super clever for proposing that like "I don't want to date you. YOU want to date ME."
11. Alhaitham quipping about priorities while the camera shows Kaveh in the bg as if it's in on Alhaitham's teasing jesus h.
12. Alhaitham kicking Traveler out bc he's about to have dinner but if we come back afterwards, "dinner" is apparently just more bantering with Kaveh? Implying that they're going to have dinner together? Are they going out? Are they going to cook together??? SIRS???
13. Alhaitham actually thinking about cleaning up his books if you mind-read him after. HOW WHIPPED ARE YOU, SIR???
14. Alhaitham keeping Kaveh's lightweight nature from him. Just. Why. Do you secretly think this is funny/adorable? Because I think you do.
14 a. Also implying they've gone drinking together before so he's probably been the one to get Kaveh back home more times than he can count.
15. Kaveh agonizing over whether Alhaitham knows what he "scribbled" while drunk?? SIR???? WHAT DID YOU WRITE???
#haikaveh#kavetham#genshin spoilers#alhaitham story quest spoilers#also can we just appreciate#that alhaitham quit *upwards*#seriously
