[ And he won't be getting a door any time soon, betch!! Anyway, the text from Kaveh is unexpected but he immediately retrieves the gift because he has no desire to have something from Kaveh potentially ruined or taken by someone else.
He hasn't even opened it yet and it is gorgeous in the bloom of paper flowers and watercolour. Kaveh is perhaps the only one whose vision of beauty consistently matches his own, and the only one who keeps invoking a strong sense of nostalgia, which he feels as he gazes upon the compass that has been gifted to him. It seems like an eternity since he's seen Sumeran design, though it's been only two months. But it's two months in a city of alien design—a place he can't quite settle in. It's too different from Teyvat. He hasn't liked it, the whole time he's been here.
The second package has his eyes widening. He hasn't seen origami in a long time. There's no such legend about cranes in Inazuma, but the thought behind the gift is touching all the same. The empty space in his chest writhes in an unfamiliar, uncomfortable way. He both looks forward to their continued relationship and fearful at the same time. One day, Kaveh will learn of his sins. And a man as gentle and considerate as him will not look past them, he's certain. He will have to face the consequences of his actions at some point.
But until then... he doesn't want to ruin this precarious thing he has right now.
The compass goes into one of his pockets, to stay with him always. The paper cranes, he hangs up in the office storage room—but it's a bit of a shame, to have them hanging in such a room, but he doesn't have any intention of taking a living space for himself, so it'll have to do.
A while later, he sets off for the media store, because Kaveh has piqued his interest in paper crafts. ]
