[ is jamil really dangerous? Kalim supposes that he could see why others might think that... but honestly, if they asked him, he would say that Jamil was far from it. Even if he lied about it. He 'hmms' as he considers what Jamil said.

Is the real problem that he's worried? That makes sense, Jamil always worries, even when doing so won't really help them... And yet, he knows that it isn't exactly unwarranted.

So, should he distract him? how?

He'd say they should leave but... this was important for Jamil. He needed a submissive to be contracted to, or else he'd get in trouble.

(the thought makes his heart ache, and so he immediately speaks instead) ]

Well, right now it's not so bad, right? And later, I can show you some of the nicer places to visit. Who knows, maybe it'll help you think clearer!
