"You need not apologize. Some days we need to get our words and thoughts out." Maybe someone else would leave the two to it, to have their tea and finish wrapping up their conversation. Lilia is not like most people, unfortunately.
"It reminded me somewhat of home." He adds on, sparing a glance between the both of them.
"Mm, but did you speak further after I left? I'd be remiss to see the two of you drift into a sea of misunderstanding and turmoil so quickly, especially whilst I could potentially assist."
Kalim takes the mug and shoots Jamil a grateful smile. Then he dumps half the contents of the sugar bowl into it.
"Ah...it's okay!" Even Kalim has the decency to be a little embarrassed about how much of that might have been overheard. "I think we figured it out...kind of."
He also can't quite muster up his usual smile kilowattage about it, but he does make a valiant effort.
"Yes, we have everything handled. Thank you for your concern," Jamil says with the polite air of someone trying to shut down a conversation. Their business is their business, not Lilia's, and just because they were loud doesn't mean Lilia can stick his nose in.
He just kind of holds the mug in his hands instead of drinking it. He doesn't really feel much like tea right now.
It really isn't his business. The two of them deserved privacy, enough that he wouldn't pry... for now. Plus? It wasn't as if he wants to have a conversation about this, to continue pushing it along. He's partly curious, wanting to offer advice to the both of them, but...
Ultimately, he just smiles, as if he didn't hear a single thing.
"So you've decided who will cut Kalim's hair, then?" Might as well make it seem like he's grasped nothing of the conversation, yes? Isn't that better for all of them, to avoid some of the awkward feelings?
"Oh, um, yeah! Jamil said he wants to do it." Kalim sips some of his tea. It does taste good, although he's kind of sweetened it into oblivion regardless. "I guess that's easier anyway, haha."
