[Well, the good news is that Scarabia is probably as functional as it's ever been now that Kalim is... well. Here. Which may very well be the best case scenario for everyone involved! Except for, uh. Kalim. Who has been avoiding thinking about Jamil altogether (to the best of his ability, which is uh... not excellent) for the last several weeks to keep from spiraling completely out of control. Things are fine! Totally fine! Nothing to worry about!]

Ah-- uh. Um. Ahaha! Funny story, about that! [He laughs, but his discomfort is palpable.] Heeeeee's. Nnnot here. [And he really, really doesn't want to think about why he is, but Jamil isn't. Kalim really thought everything was getting better after the overblot, but...]

Wasn't here when I showed up and still hasn't come around yet. You're the first I've seen from school since, uhhh... Well, me! [He laughs, lifting himself to his feet with a flap of his pearlescent wings.] Azul and Idia are here, too! They got here before I did.

[Chattering helps him push the distress further back in his mind, giving him the chance to shine that ridiculously bright smile of his right Vil's way.]

Come on, I can take you to Azul's lounge! [And just like that he's looping arms to start dragging him down the street. Sorry, Vil!] 'Said he's got one down here and I was just on my way to give it a look-see!
