Was there ever any doubt? I'm not going to insist he lives on a schedule while we're not being watched.
[Outside of these walls, he'll play the role he's been forced into, however reluctantly it may be. Here, though..... Jamil just wants to be free. He doesn't want to control the Submissive he was forced to hire any more than strictly necessary. How could he consider a stranger family, just because they decided to live together out of convenience? They've barely even known each other a day. A city like this, a system like this..... it doesn't exactly give you much time or opportunity to form a meaningful connection with someone.
Unlike Kalim, he hadn't had the luxury of someone conveniently free to sign a contract with him immediately. All the familiar faces here had prior commitments to honor, Kalim included--and even if they hadn't, most of them he wouldn't want to live with anyway.]
