[If Jamil knew what Kalim was thinking he'd be cursing the fact that he hadn't kissed Kalim better the first time, when they were under the mistletoe, when they had to kiss. Because, surely, if he had kissed Kalim better the first time, then the kiss surely wouldn't have haunted him. (Surely.) And if the kiss hadn't haunted him, then he wouldn't have kissed Kalim again, Kalim wouldn't have kissed him back, and Kalim wouldn't be asking about...discussing the menagerie. So quickly. So soon. So eagerly.
If Jamil knew what Kalim was thinking he'd also point out that he could have just as easily meant they needed to talk about whatever had happened between them, at length.
Most likely, though, if Jamil knew what Kalim was thinking he'd make the rest of the bullshit fry flatbread sandwich thing in silence, serve it to Kalim, say something about thinking about it, and fleeing with his hood up to eat his bullshit fry flatbread sandwich in his room with the door locked before resisting the urge to scream into a pillow.
Jamil's not psychic. And he has cooking, which keeps his brain and hands busy. So, he finishes up the bullshit fry, and makes two flatbread sandwiches from it. He exhales.
One is served to Kalim. The other he keeps for his own.]
If I have time.
[Jamil's voice is mostly steady and he's proud of that. There's a slight waver. Nerves. (Excitement?) Not too many people would be able to pick up on it. (Unfortunately, one of the few people in Night Raven College who reliably might be able to is Kalim who's right there.)
Actually, he's going to get a fresh coconut for himself. Because the ramifications of discussing the menagerie with Kalim are hitting him again.]
As you reminded me, I have studying of my own to do. That said...I doubt it will take that long. But you should worry about your own tutoring before you make plans with others, housewarden.
[Because Kalim's housewarden and has responsibilities and okay maybe took two tries for him to cut a good enough hole in the coconut but that's perfectly normal, yes?]
