There's no doubt in his mind that the other is better prepared than he is, after all, not just from the look of him but the comment he makes, the way he looks around the tent with a look more suited to a researcher than a roommate. Unfortunately, it's the very same look that has Kaveh's eyes narrowing, arms folding protectively over his chest as if somehow it'll be enough to magically warm him, a scowl darkening his features just a little.

Clearly the scribe is going to ignore his very legitimate complaint about shared costs, and so he huffs, stalking back to his bedroll and wrapping it around himself.

Predictably, it doesn't help, and the scowl quickly becomes a pout. ]

[ A shudder, and Kaveh pulls his bedroll tighter to his shivering body. The smart thing to do at this point would be to ask Alhaitham if he has something extra with him, something he can borrow or use or somethingβ€” But that would mean swallowing his pride, and maybe he'd rather be miserable and lose the sleep. ]
