[Right now, smug triumphance is winning out over Azul's fluster over what he just did. Serves Jamil right for being all cagey about his reactions and then having the gall to egg Azul on.
His hand comes up, two fingers used to push Jamil's hand away.]
I'm not the one who made a taunt he couldn't handle the consequences of.
[Wait they're actually going for legit whole truths here...??? Is Azul actually aiming for a normal conversation with him????
Jamil feels conflicted. He could meet Azul halfway, or he could shut this whole thing down! Go back to what was most comfortable or normal.
Or...
... Coexisting in a less hostile way could benefit them both in this setting; Azul is brilliant, useful, and attractive. If they were on the same side here, they'd no doubt thrive.
Jamil waffles for a moment, and then lets out a tense sigh before crouching against the cave wall. Hood tugged down, he makes his decision and goes with it.
Or tries to.
He types four messages, erases them, and then tries again. The overthinking is real...]

Yes, well...

This is... fairly recent news to me, as well.
... though honestly, I thought you were on to it for certain with your... distraction.

[Azul, please. You can't seriously have forgotten the attempt on your life????]

... ah. Yes.
[Boy that sure was A Night.......]
2/2 a.fish
What can I say?
You're intelligent, stubborn, diligent and savage, all traits that were immediately apparent as you held the blade to my throat.
Combined with the fact you were on top of me, well.
I think I'd have been already dead to not have some sort of reaction.

Alright
So
Should we try Krivesk's suggestion?

What
Azul was expecting more... fluster? Resistance? Anything???
But Jamil finally seems to be conceding a bit.
And then he gets... those messages.]

WHAT IN SEVEN'S NAME IS HAPPENING
IS THIS A DREAM?
IS HE DREAMING RIGHT NOW?????]

Instead, he sits there conflicted while Azul appears to be having a midlife crisis over it.]
no subject
Um.
[He lowers the phone, looking... flustered and honestly caught off guard as fuck???
His throat feels a little dry, and he swallows.
Honestly, part of him is shocked that Jamil hadn't rescinded the offer immediately...
...]
... a-a-alright.
[Damnit. He didn't just stutter, there, he stuttered pretty badly and noticeably.]
no subject
With a tiny smirk, he lowers his own phone.]
If you're too nervous, you could just say no.
no subject
If your offer is serious, then my answer is yes.
no subject
That was a very determined agreement. Jamil swallows thickly fighting the urge to look away before nodding.]
Alright. After we've got privacy and... the right items?
no subject
Jamil wasn't just teasing him? Wasn't just testing him for his weak spots?
He honestly and truly wanted this with Azul...
... even after seeing his face...?]
... yes.
[...]
Ah, that's... most likely going to require asking Akira, isn't it.
no subject
[Jamil sighs.]
I'll handle the asking in exchange for you capturing dinner for the night.

[It is very, painfully obvious that Azul is still in disbelief...
But, after a moment...]

I look forward to our night together~

[Ugh this act again!]
Tch... We'll see how long that act lasts when we're actually alone.
[Jerk.]
no subject
Look. It's hard not to think about the fact this might actually be happening and he might actually be really looking forward to it.]

Jamil huffily tugs his hood down to hide his face, going back to walking now!!!]
