This wouldn't need to be a big deal, if left up to him. "Temporary" death really means not actual death--essentially, it sounds like Jamil will be uncomfortably indisposed for a while, at worst. Not great, but not anything he hasn't experienced before. Kalim, unfortunately, is the issue. If Jamil had hardly a moment to breathe in the aftermath of being poisoned, Kalim will be downright intolerable in the face of an actual death.
Maybe there's a way Jamil can make it happen quietly, without him noticing. If this does have to happen at all.]
Thank you for telling me. I think it's best we keep this between ourselves for now.
[Five watches Jamil closely and listens, idly wondering how the hell he would have taken this information if their situations were reversed. Probably a lot less well, if he's being honest...
The ultimate conclusion Jamil comes to is hardly a surprising one. Five shrugs disinterestedly.]
However you want to play it. Hell, I'm perfectly happy to to disengage myself from the matter altogether and say you didn't hear any of this from me.
[Do you think he wants to deal with Kalim's inevitable fretting about this? Cuz, he doesn't. He REALLY doesn't.]
