(Genshin 4.2 spoilers)
How it feels when Furina talks about setting boundaries and being very smart self aware and proactive in trying to recover from enduring 500 years of psychological torture in her SQ or has voicelines where she’s being endearingly silly or seems anxious about being respected/valued as a person but Traveler & Paimon keep picking on her and making me reply with MEAN dialogue options I would NEVER say to my beautiful princess with a disorder

Hi again!! I'm the sumeru NPC anon and damn you already knew what I was referring to. As expected! ❤️
I'm really bad at explaining so I really love how you lay out all the points. It's verrrry satisfying
Off topic, but I just wanted to also share that I was going through my teapot and noticed that kaveh's preferred furnishing sets are outdoors whereas Alhaitham's are indoors. It was a pretty neat detail and I thought it suited their personalities well.
Hiya anon!! Thank you for both asks!! You're giving me opportunities to think about things I haven't considered thoroughly hehe <333
Alhaitham and Kaveh's furnishing sets... another instance of them as mirrors... :')
It's as you say! These furnishing sets, one being outdoors and the other inside, adheres to their personalities! Kaveh's being outdoors makes sense considering his artistic sensibility. His preferred furnishing set 'Amidst Scents and Scenery' references Razan Garden in its description, which aligns with Alhaitham telling the player in Kaveh's Hangout that Kaveh likes showing his friends around Razan Garden. Additionally, this furnishing set describes it as being able to provide someone with inspiration, which makes sense considering Kaveh's penchant for the outdoors in order to seek motivation, as seen within his hangout, where he takes the player to the desert. He also has a voice-line stating the importance of going outside since people aren't made to stay 'cooped up' all the time. When interacting with him near his preferred furnishing set 'Of Twirling Dances Unfettered' he expresses his love for the theatre due to its ability to provide an escape from his worries, referring once more to artistic and emotional sensibility.
Alhaitham's preferred furnishing sets, in comparison, are indoors, which perfectly mirrors Kaveh's. 'Of Settled Thoughts' aligns with Alhaitham's pursuit of knowledge being through that of language, in that patience is required in order to acquire different forms of wisdom, as is expressed in the furnishing set's description and in Alhaitham's comments about people not lacking intellect, but patience. 'Fervid Aroma' consists of an indoor kebab station, and the description is rather interesting since it pertains to both Alhaitham and Dehya (as it is also Dehya's preferred furnishing set).
These instances are relevant to both Dehya and Alhaitham, as Dehya, a mercenary, is shown to move in groups in order to relax and bond with others, but also moving solo so as to obtain information. 'For those who move alone' also serves as a reference to Alhaitham, due to his initial methods of conduct within the Archon Quest, but also due to preference for solitude - or time for himself, as expressed in his voicelines. However, "All one would then need was some friends for company and a few jugs of fine wine, and this would be the perfect dining experience" can definitely refer to Alhaitham, not just Dehya, as Alhaitham can be seen in the tavern with his friends, Kaveh, Cyno, and Tighnari, in his character trailer - and recently, with Alhaitham's 2024 birthday art, we know that the four meet in the tavern on various occasions.
Some things of note drawing parallels between the two of them are, of course, the mention of coffee. Kaveh mentions getting a new coffee grinder in his teapot dialogue, and also leaving the house in a hurry so he forgot to bring any coffee with him, while Alhaitham has the idle quote 'coffee...'. This is interesting because drinking coffee together is canonically confirmed as a past-time for the two of them, as it is mentioned in Kaveh's 2023 birthday letter that the two tasted coffee beans together. Reading into this, it seems that Kaveh's coffee grinder is used to make coffee for the two of them (The details of them both mentioning coffee in the teapot brings a domestic vibe to the function that everyone appreciates <3333)
Additionally, the shared idle quote of them needing to go 'back' - or in Alhaitham's case, 'home'. Without me going into it too much, Alhaitham's usage of 'home' is very interesting when considering Kaveh's teapot dialogue of him discussing the meaning of 'home' being a place with people and meaningful connection, rather than just a building. If you're interested, i've added my other posts which may be of interest to you about 'home' in relation to haikaveh, i have many thoughts about this because i love being normal <3333
thank you for your ask anon!!
