[ Kalim isn't sure what he expected from this. Anxious as he was to get here tonight, he hadn't precisely given much thought to how it might go down, other than the sincere hope that Jamil would -- maybe, hopefully -- lose his composure and kiss Kalim again. But if there had been any expectations, he somehow doubts that this particular scenario would be part of them.
Jamil seems almost blase about this. Just taking it in, as naturally as if Kalim were rambling about club activities, or the freshman gossip, or how pleasant the breeze feels tonight. Surprising, to say the least. Though maybe he's shutting down rather than confront the reality that Kalim's actually given this whole thing a reasonable and commendable degree of thought. That it's not just impulse. That he actually understands what he wants, why he wants it, and how that want might affect Jamil as well.
