Goodness, me. Is my company so abhorrent to you that you'd rush off the first chance you get?
[How you wound him!]
But very well... Perhaps I'll start by asking if there's anything you'd like to talk about, first.
[While he knows Jamil is likely to shut him down... it's worth a shot, isn't it? He'd reached out to Azul, came to him— it seems obvious to him that there's something Jamil wants to talk to him about... even if he doesn't want to admit it, even to himself.]
[ Such deadpan. At the next thing, Jamil cocks his head to the side a little. There's a little conflict, some signs of an internal debate. After the fairly long stretch of silence, he finally says in an overly nonchalant tone: ]
I'm considering finding a way to never go back. If I can get through this "rehabilitation" period, I might try becoming a warden, myself.

But Azul won't call Jamil out on it.]

The words that follow have him looking thoughtful. After a moment, he nods.]
That doesn't surprise me. Much as many of its inhabitants leave something to be desired, this hasn't proved a terrible place to be so far.
[And, considering what he's heard of what all awaits Jamil at home. . . yeah.]
I can see how that sort of plan would make sense for you.

[ On that note, however, he gestures to the side a bit, moving on to the question now. ]
Have you decided on the route you want to take?
no subject
For now, I'm lying low and playing along.
[A gesture of his hand.]
If playing the goody two-shoes type is the fastest path to getting out of this situation, then so be it.
[A sigh!]
Frankly, to be treated like a prisoner is quite insulting. I'll be seeing if it's possible to gain independent access to areas in time.

So, essentially, the same route I'm taking, but with a slightly different main focus.
[After a short pause...]
I have no plans to be on my best behavior, just yet, but I am interested in seeing how quickly good behavior will pay off.
