[ Sometime after this... Actually, it might not be all that long since he walked away: ]

So? Which word fit better than 'angry'?

[ He makes faces and half-regrets bothering.

... Actually, why is he bothering? ]

[Sometime after this.

Very suddenly, whenever Azul is having time to himself, somewhere outside his cabin... here's Jamil, approaching and smiling at him.]

Well, what do you know? You're just the person I was looking for. I need your help with something. Can you spare a few minutes?

[This has danger written all over it.]

From:

[Not too long after he's out of the infirmary...]

When you have time, stop by my cabin.

From:

[Sometime after this and this.]

Where are you now?

From:

Good evening. My name is Connor. I'm your assigned warden this month and I wanted to check what time you would be available to meet and discuss your expectations.

[From here.]

For one, we aren't actually doing anything, yet.
Secondly, people will assume just about anything, regardless of how true it is or isn't.

Most importantly, however, it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. The entire thing was clearly made as a joke.

[At some point, Jamil flops into a seat next to Azul's. If it's a couch, or anything similar, he's going to have a sudden head either resting in his lap or on his shoulder. No matter what Azul's busy with:]

When are you free?

From:

Azul! Hey there. Thought I'd check in, see how you were holding up.

Hi, can you get me some supplies from the infirmary?

How are you?

Hey, Azul! Got a minute? I'd like to talk.

[Azul was no fool. He had been distracted during the fight, yes, but even he had the sense to notice the stone that Tiernan had been handling and looking awfully fascinated by right after Jamil had Overblotted.

...well, that's the reason he intends to offer Tiernan when asked why he's approaching him. The truth of the matter is, he wants to know if this is a remotely trustworthy person. He's not usually so possessive, but Jamil had been through a hell of a time, and they were still in a new, strange environment. Naturally, Azul wants to make sure that no one will take advantage of him during this vulnerable time.

(Paranoia rises in the back of his mind like vile in the back of one's throat. Itching and burning and making his skin crawl. What if he can't be trusted? What's his next plan of action? He dare not show his hand any more than he already has.)

He walks around until he finds the man, and brings a fist up to his mouth, clearing his throat.]

Good day, sir. I do believe I have you to thank for aiding in neutralizing Jamil's Overblot episode.

Sooo... At the risk of being serenaded again...

[Yep, opening with that.]

Everything's okay now? I know those guys carried you up there, but I haven't had a chance to... come see.

[Ugh, is this it? Is this how you do the socializing?]

From:

How are you?

[It has been a long two weeks and some change, probably, for Azul.

As Jamil stirs, finally, he can tell something doesn't feel quite right about how he's waking up. He feels too... stiff, too hungry, too groggy. With a groan, he scrunches up his face and moves to sit up. It takes far more effort than it should...

With a sleepy frown, he starts blindly feeling around for his device.]

Hey, you wanna tell me about what happened with you and Sweeney?

From:

[Nita's response is slightly longer in coming post-Maggie's message than Tiffany's.]

First: I'm not expecting a response to this. This is just about where I'm at, going forward.

Have you heard the saying that no two patients are alike? And that what works for one person won't necessarily help others?

... What we did with Jamil worked because he trusted us; you moreso than me. Whatever you have with Sweeney, it's not like that.

[She debates saying a little more on that, but no; she's not Sweeney's warden, and she doesn't have his permission to share either way.]

I know you had your own shit going on this week too. You don't have to elaborate; you're not required to tell me or anything.

So, going forward: if it's about inventory, you can still come to me. If it's about other people in infirmary, just... check in with someone else on-staff first.

['If whatever's going on this week literally allows for it', which goes unspoken.]

Please.

[After the party, Jamil is stumbling far too much to walk himself back to Azul's cabin...

So, in the end, he requires help. But he's maybe stuck in a loop of giggling and laughing about various things - such as the fact that he needs help, at all. How ridiculous of him, to need to be walked home!

Which means that him simply leaning on Azul for support won't be enough; he keeps pausing and nearly crumbling to the floor from his own amusement.]

Hey, Azul.

Heard you was musically inclined. I need a favor.

If you have a few minutes, come meet me in the canteen. I've some hot food and coffee waiting. There's cake, today.

Kalim seems to be having a rare time of reflection when Azul finds him in the botanical gardens, sitting by the chickens as he watches them idly peck at the ground in their enclosure. He smiles as he sees his warden--and friend, in his mind--approach. Still, there's no bombastic waving and jumping around as he greets the merman.

"Oh, hi, Azul. Looks like you found me--what's up?"

Expecting or perhaps hoping that he'll have some company for a few moments, he scoots over to make more room beside where he's sitting.
