[He can't quite bring himself to say fine because, in a (rare) moment of self-awareness, Jamil is keenly aware that if their positions were reversed he'd be aggressively fussing over Kalim. Self-awareness is terrible and he rather hates it. It's much easier to be oblivious.
He'd fight giving his hand to Kalim, and would argue about how he could put on a bandage himself and is, in fact, quite good at it...but Kalim's right there, first aid kit open, bandage unwrapped, hands in gloves. So, instead, Jamil sighs and surrenders his hand to Kalim.
...suspiciously, but his hand is surrendered to Kalim for his tender ministrations.]
I don't need the infirmary, my last tetanus shot was the same year as yours, and you just saw how much soap I used. And it's a small cut. [Kind of...it's small, especially in relation to what could've happened, but it's not a papercut and beneath notice.] Once you put the bandage on, I can get back to cooking.
