It's not your fault. There's no planning around what I don't know about; I'm..... glad you told me. Thank you.
[Jamil just shakes his head dismissively, scrubbing at his face in wordless weariness. Better to find out about this from Kalim now, than walk face-first into it and be confused and taken by surprise..... As if there wasn't enough already to try and think of contingencies for. These rabbit creatures are already a nasty enough unknown to deal with.]
I suppose..... But even so, that still doesn't mean we can just sit on our laurels.
[Not when there's still the issue that sparked this whole conversation to begin with. Excuse him if he glances at Kalim's device; does Rayne or Floyd have anything to say about these tiny menaces?]
[Sigh. Who knows how quick Floyd will be to respond without knowing what his mood is at the moment? He could just as easily respond in 10 minutes or 10 hours.]
Have you seen how many rabbits are out there? That hardly seems like a wise course of action.
[Absolutely not. It's bad enough that Kalim's already been bitten; he has no intention of risking himself unnecessarily. Unless, of course, it's to walk Kalim home and make sure he doesn't end up in an even worse state somehow.....]
One of us has to stay healthy, just in case the symptoms get worse.
[He admits nothing. He's just being careful, it's definitely nothing deeper than that. Why would Kalim ever think he'd struggle more with being honest? That's just ridiculous.]
[ he opens his eyes, and then laughs, completely cheerful ]
Oh! Sorry... I felt a little like I was blanking out for a second. I can't think of anything that isn't a little impacted by this place, if you don't wanna go outside!
[Does he really have to worry him like that? Geez..... He's not even the one causing the spacing out these days.]
I'm not so easily offended that I can't handle vulgar subject matter, if that's what you're worried about. If nothing else, you can at least stay for dinner; I'd just about finished by the time you came.
[ his eyes light up, and suddenly, he is leaning in close. even if he's been cooking for himself, it can't be denied... there's no one else whose cooking he loves more than Jamil's.
and if Jamil's made something, Kalim absolutely wants to eat it. ]
[ Time to surge forward, pressing against Jamil happily, distractions forgotten as he's distracted. without even paying attention to what he's doing, he simply leans forward to kiss Jamil quickly ]
For a moment, Jamil just freezes up entirely rather than return the kiss, wide-eyed and flustered as Kalim presses against him. There's no hood to hide the way he flushes, this time; instead, all he can do is awkwardly clear his throat. Maybe it's time to beat a hasty retreat.....]
I-it's been simmering for a few minutes now, so..... I should probably check on it.
[Maybe he can just..... will himself to stop being red. Or blame it on the chill. Honestly, for someone so concerned about watching inappropriate material on television, Kalim certainly doesn't seem to have any qualms about kissing a friend out of the blue..... Anyone would be shocked, right?
Just..... pretend nothing out of the ordinary happened. It's the simplest way to preserve his dignity. Jamil leads the way back into the kitchen, fishing a spoon out of the drawer to sample soup straight from the pot. No need to worry about poison here, hmmm?]
[It's fine.Everything is fine. This is just..... something Kalim does now, apparently. He's really going to give him a heart attack, one of these days..... How is anyone supposed to just get used to something like this??
Jamil pulls a bottle out of the fridge, carefully pouring and stirring. Should he portion out three servings? Hmmm, probably not; it'll stay hotter longer if he just leaves the rest in the pot. His Submissive will just come get some when he's hungry, right?]
There, it should be ready now. We'll just need to set the table.

[ he just watches him go quiet, and is... confused-- but also... he isn't confused, he knew this would upset him. ]
Ahaha... Sorry.

Well, you can plan later, right?

We could do something else in the meantime, then!

We could watch a movie?
Wait, no, a lot of them have sex here.
Music is only good if we go outside, I think... The ones with music also have a ton of stuff about sex in them.

[ hmm, but he seems to be accepting that answer...... ]
no subject
Either way, we shouldn't go outside uneccessarily. I'm sure we can find something to occupy ourselves that isn't completely tasteless.
no subject
getting distracted, and not focusing. there's no real idea, he just seems to have completely stalled out for the moment. ]

[Great, don't him Kalim's broken somehow. Does he need to lie down for a nap or something?]

[Well, now. That perked him right up, didn't it? Clearly the symptoms can't be that bad, if Kalim is so keen.]
no subject
That sounds amazing! When will it be done??
no subject
[What. What. Why is he--?

Let's check.

A little more lemon juice ought to do the trick.
no subject
And of the smells. He really does miss home, sometimes. Nothing’s as delicious as scalding sands cuisine. ]
So, almost ready?
[ he seems to start looking in the general direction he thinks Jamil would’ve put the lemon juice. ]

[ and he's off, before Jamil can get a protest in edgewise. but if he isn't stopped, he'll set out three placemats.
... even if he does look at the third a little too long. ]
