[ He really shouldn't be here, to be honest. A dedicated Zenith, and one who'd played at being an ambassador to boot? The streets around him are bustling with festivities celebrating Meridian's victory, so he really shouldn't be here.
Which, of course, is all the more reason why Gen spitefully decides to linger in Springstar after he's finished his shift at the factory. Like, it's not even unreasonable for him to be here? He's just walking around trying to get a decent meal after working hard labor all day? He's not doing anything wrong???
Which means Alhaitham approaches just as Gen is snatching up a bottle of beer from a stall offering free libations, point-blank ignoring the stall owner's meek protests of 'H-hey, aren't you that ... ?' ]
Aah? [ Gen looks over with an eyebrow raised, looking Alhaitham over from head to toe as he takes a slow swig straight from his bottle. And only once he's done, he pulls the bottle away from his mouth with a small 'pop' before lying, like a liar: ] Yeah, sure. I know enough.
[ Again, the stall owner behind him starts raising a meek protest, but Gen leans heavily against the stall to basically block the poor civilian from Alhaitham's line of sight. ]
