[Oh--hunh. He tucks a hand under his chin, looking thoughtful.]
Yes, we spoke yesterday. He seems decent. [Kaveh got offended a few times but it was mostly preemptively defensive, and he knows it, so he won't hold that against Shu.] I got a little distracted learning about his world [DID YOU KNOW CAPITALISM IS TERRIBLE, NAHIDA?] but we talked about teams--only broadly, though. He didn't mention knowing anyone else here.
[Hmm, hmm. He supposes he can't assume that it means Shu's on his own like Hikari, but he does make a mental note of it.]
[she tilts her head to one side and studies kaveh for a moment or two, because shu does, in some ways, remind her of alhaitham.]
He told me a little about his world, as well. And we spoke very generally about teams, as well, but...
[she shrugs.]
There are a lot of people here who have others they recognize. And for the most part, I believe they're making it fairly clear early on when they know someone. If it hasn't come up, I think it's likely he doesn't have someone else he knows, but maybe he just prefers to keep his cards close to his chest.
...don't just let me suggest both of the other members, though.
[she smiles.]
Only agree with it if you think you'll be able to work with him, okay? This is both our team, not just mine. If there's someone else you'd like to team up with, I'd like to hear it.
Don't worry--I'm not very good at hiding when I don't get along with someone. I think I'm getting worse with age, actually. [This is only partly true; he can customer service when he has to. But he wasn't planning on doing that here--mostly because he's keeping his eye out for someone he can trust to help him keep Nahida safe, and someone with vastly different views would never meet those criteria anyway.] I'll check in with a few others as well, and let you know my thoughts.

But Nahida seems a little worried about Shu, and Kaveh had a fine time talking to him, so he isn't against this possible invitation. He nods.]
...I'll talk to him a little more, then, and see if he might be a good fit.

Alright. And, Kaveh... I hope you'll get some rest, soon, too.
