[How meddlesome. Should he be grateful that Rook tried to step in on his behalf, or just annoyed? The man is almost as hard to read as Lilia in some ways. But he can admit that maybe it would be..... useful for Kalim to get a little perspective on his job, if it means Kalim's a little more conscientious about staying out of trouble and not giving him so much extra work. Just because Rook had tried doesn't mean that Kalim had gotten the point though, does it?

He never seems to get the point, even if he's apparently suddenly trying to. Why is Kalim always so..... so..... ugh! What a damn fool! What is this fresh nonsense? As if he could ever just forget what they're going back home to..... Wouldn't it only hurt worse, pretending that none of it mattered, only to need to pick right back up where they'd left off? Just like that brief taste of an independent school life, going up in smoke in a matter of weeks..... How is it that Kalim so cavalierly asks for the moon and stars, without the slightest idea that they might be impossible to pluck out of the sky? Why can't he just be reasonable for once?]

Don't be ridiculous, we can't just forget where we come from. Or do you seriously mean to tell me you've already given up hope on making it home?
