[Jamil glances at the screen over Kalim's shoulder as the boy types, humming thoughtfully. Understating the situation a bit, isn't he? Of course Kalim isn't as worried about his own condition as he should be. He never thinks about the consequences or mundane practicalities of what he says and does: how dangerous things can get, how much extra work he gives Jamil people, how much money he might be spending, how it might affect his reputation.....
.....Or does he? What a strange thing to question, when it's been a universal constant for what seems like their whole lives. But hearing this outburst now..... Just because he hates having his privacy violated doesn't mean he has any qualms about prying into others' affairs. He can use this, if it turns out the consequences of being bitten are as minor as Kalim seems to believe.
After all, Kalim has been here for some time, now--things are bound to have changed. Knowing exactly where Kalim stands can only be beneficial in the long run, even if he has a sneaking suspicion that he's going to hate dealing with it in the moment.]
While we wait for their answers..... there isn't anything else you need to get off your chest, is there?
[Start broad. Start simple. Yes or no questions are a good foundation to begin fishing for specific details, once he gets a better idea of what he's working with, is able to define what the rules of this malady are. If this is a game of pulling things to the surface of Kalim's thoughts and just waiting for them to spill out of their own accord, then patience is the word of the day.]
