Jamil stands there gaping like a fish, caught between still reeling from Lilia's sudden presence, embarrassment at how much he possibly heard, and irritation that he'd ring in at all when he has no idea how complicated this actually is, thanks! How could he possibly relate!!!

He isn't so tired he can't keep himself from running his mouth, though, and it occurs to him a split second later that Lilia has actually given him the perfect opportunity to escape this situation. How generous of him!

"That's all right, I can make the tea. We should all be getting back to bed, I think." OK great that's settled he'll be leaving the room first thanks.
