I buy quality." He got the pipe back and smoked through it, his lips lingering on the edge while staring down. He let the smoke come out and reached out to lean a hand on Kaveh's shoulder. "You underestimate my skill to hit the bricks the moment I smell trouble, Kaveh. Heh."

He took a quick drag from the pipe and looked through the window, exhaling the smoke through it. Then he straightened up until he could reach Kaveh's side, and offers him the pipe. "Want a drag?"

Alhaitham frowns, looking away. "Looks average to me." He commented with a drier tone than he normally used, ignoring both the drawing and the person. A few seconds later, he got up from the chair.
