Such a backstabber

The general mahamatra asks al-haitham to uncover 'your web of lies', he accepts immediately. When he asks you what the symbol means he gets an unexpected answer

Wc:990

He should be eating dinner and getting ready for sleeping right now but he is forced to sit through an 'emergency meeting' with the general mahamatra 

" What might be the issue that is so important that it couldn't wait until morning?" The grip on the freshly brewed coffee was just strong enough to not snap it in half

Cyno doesn't blink nor does he get comfortable in the seat, if al-haitham didn't know it was serious before he was sure now.

The air grows thick until cyno spits some words out 

" The third grand sage, YN, is highly likely involved in the usage of knowledge capsule, and possibly trafficking " his red eyes focus on the scribe

"Why do you feel inclined to accuse them of such a thing?" He already knew the reasons. It would be easier to believe a person consumed an ungodly quantity of knowledge capsules than a natural prodigy.

" Someone popped out of nowhere with seemingly all the knowledge of the world and you pretend to act as if it was normal?" It's obvious it's hard to believe 

"And you should know by now, the third grand sage was originally a feral child that learned by imitation and their innate talent" he bit back with the rehearsed answer he had given to everyone before and would most likely keep giving to the public 

" We both know that this is the PR version of the story" he leans over his knees, his eyes hardening " there seems to be some relationship between a dealer of knowledge capsules and the grand sage. I believe i don't need to get further into the conclusion"

"Weren't you the one to stand by the counter effects of repetitive usage? To me they don't seem to suffer from anything similar" that was one of the reasons he decided to look over your history, you not only knew a lot but seemed lucid enough to answer quick questions or riddles about the subject. 

He looks over the window, leaning against the side of his green seat " and even then they seem to have a relationship with a low level trader."

" We both know very well that the akademia has been plagued by lies and scheming, the capsule scandal was only the spark that lit the fire. It would be better for the people of Sumeru if the new grand sages don't have interest that could harm them." Cyno keeps his ground, his tone unshakable and strong " you are one of the few people in the akademia that I can stand, al haitham, it would be a shame if I had to judge you for helping the grand sage hide their whereabouts"

" Well then " al-haitham throws his hands over his shoulders " I'm sure the  general mahamatra don't need my permission to start an investigation, do you?" 

" We already intercepted a knowledge capsule dealer, it seems they set off to the desert, as of now they deny everything but i found this with him" he grabs a book from his bag, it's a very old thick book 

Al-haitham stops drinking his coffee, letting it almost burn his tongue before he swallows " is it really that book? People have been searching for months now"

" 'symbology of the primordial language' it was found in his bag, we have to analyze the capsules but we believe they have these contents"

"I just need you to help me out" he drops the book and a page on the middle of the table, a somewhat simple symbol in the middle  " ask them what this is. It seems to be a kind of recognizement between  knowledge capsule dealers. If they genuinely don't know what it is I will drop the subject for now…" 

Al-Haitham grabs the paper and analyzes it before sighing "fine. Just let me go to sleep."

The sun is shining obnoxiously for it to be only 6:00, Kaveh drank all the coffee in the house so he couldn't get a drop and he got a couple too few hours of sleep that night. It would be short to say he wasn't in his best mood.

Even your voice mixed up with kaveh to give a punch to his migraine

"Sooo~" you call from the table while eating some concoction that looks spicier than the last one. Even if he doesn't dislike certain seasonings he honestly thought you poisoned his food the first time he tried, turns out you just like food like that. " What kind of questions await me today?" Looking at him smugly

" Today is just one question" 

Total silence fills the room "One?" You look at him as if you were about to laugh " what happened with fifty questions a day? Mm? Going soft on me?" 

" Today is a special request"he pulls out the page that was neatly folded " what does this represent?"

Inching closer you turn around your head, trying to find an answer "I'm not sure" He watches, your blinking seems stable, calmly seated and not much moving around compared to before, no hands or clothing to hide your mouth. It seems you aren't lying?  

" I'm sorry haitham, i truly don't know" 

" We have a while, try for a bit more please" 

" Can I offer you something to eat meanwhile? you always come here drinking coffee and calling it breakfast! It's disrespectful to food!" You stand up before he answers, already looking for a plate on the shelf behind him

" Some people are busy, you know? If anyt-" suddenly there is a big crack behind him, the same sound of breaking a plate, turning around he looks at you, eyes wide and mouth slightly open " great sage? Are you feeling bad?" Thinking you might have gotten dizzy or gotten low blood sugar he grabs your arm waiting for you to blackout 

Before he can ask more questions you only say something in a very small voice, almost a whisper: I can never outrun it…

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

anyone get even morr stressed out when dream dictionary doesn't offer literally anything?? Like this nightmare right. I just woke up with more teeth? And I dont mean I grew them- someone had kidnapped me the previous night and fucking implanted teeth into my body. They were everywhere they could be in my mouth and I had a long scar running down the side of my head that was filled with them. My?? Father in the dream??? Idk who this man was but he said he fell asleep before I got home the night before and when he woke up he freaked when I wasnt in the house but then he found me left on the front porch? And I eventually remember what the kidnapper looka like so I told the police and they were like 'hmm...what can we do?' and bounced like alright. Then it turned into a thing like. I would wake up in my bed pretty much every morning to find out this guy had kidnapped me and done something fucked up to me over night. It was like....a known problem in my neighborhood that this kept happening, but people who werent my family didnt care and the cops kept going 'we dont have any leads' THIS BITCH LIVED ACROSS THE STRET!! I ACTIVELY POINTED HIM AND HIS HOUSE OUT!! there was some bplot where there was like. A hole in a wall or fence where the dad was learnig government sexrets or soemthing, idk, that storyline didbt stick for me because Inwas FOCUSED ON THE TORTURE I WAS ENDURING. There was some point where I was checked into an actual hospital finally- AND THE MAN WAS EITHER MY NURSE OR DOCTOR HELLO!! Also at some point I reached the part where you're closer to consciousness so the dream starts changing things, and the hospital morphed into a tgi fridays but I was just like. Laying in a hospital bed in the entrance watching people go in skshjdjj. But anyway, this woman shows up, she's not one of my actual grandmothers but thats who she was in the dream, and she's checking on me, seeing how I am, and I tell her the man is Right There, but he looks at me so I know he knows Im talking about him so I tell her not to do anything but its too late, shes gotten passive aggressive, and she says something to me like 'well you still have all ten fingers and toes' and hes looking at my med chart and ia like 'no Im pretty sure she only has nine toes' and I Know an literally the next thing I wake up and my fucking pinkie toe is gone ugh. Then this like...turns into a montage?? Off him torturing or doing violent things in front of me and other people, like, a couple, a family of four, someone else and me, there was definitely a shotnof him in the woods murdering two penguins with a hatchet in front of family before turning on them with the weapon. Just a fuxking montage of this and then a fucking. Green movie preview 'coming soon' card comes up and I woke up and I'm. In a place for sure. Help.
