to be fair- this is rooted in speculation from his character demo, but it's also incredibly hard to refute unless you jump through a few mental hoops -> i.e.: saying that Alhaitham simply saw the bottle on the table {there wasn't one, and in which case why not just pour himself a cup from that?}

anyway-

this is probably a regular occurrence too considering the blatant LACK of a reaction from Cyno, Kaveh, or Tighnari

*at a mandatory Akademiya event or smth where there's a buffet table* Alhaitham, pointing at something on Cyno's plate: are those any good? Cyno, rotating his plate towards Alhaitham's hand on instinct: they're not bad, but not the best either. *Alhaitham simply hums around his 'stolen' treat*

*celebrating at Lambad's* Kaveh, pushing his drink into Alhaitham's hand: oh good, you're finally here! hold this, I have to go to the bathroom Alhaitham, taking a sip and immediately scrunching his nose: this is awful. Kaveh, scoffing: then don't order it

*Collei's birthday party* *Alhaitham reaches towards Tighnari's plate* Tighnari, straightening up but not moving his plate away: oh- you won't like those ones. try these *He points towards a slight variation of the snack and turns it towards Alhaitham*

First of all, in Kaveh and Alhaitham's voicelines about Cyno and Tighnari, they both mention that the latter may have a reputation for being cold or mean but they think that's wrong. Kaveh says Cyno is a big hearted guy, Alhaitham says that others aren't giving Tighnari a fair go when they assume he is just mean.

Then there is the fact that out of all their little friend group, Cyno is probably the nicest to Kaveh. The others love Kaveh but they can and will give him shit. The one time I remember Cyno accidentally insulting Kaveh, he walked it back immediately and changed the subject. "-your life wouldn't be the mess it currently is." "What do you mean my life is a mess?" "Nevermind. Your life is fine."

Cyno also tried to tell Kaveh a joke to cheer him up when he was drunk complaining about work in his hangout.
