Maybe I should... I just don't know where to start, you know? Vil's given me some tips here and there, but there's so much information coming at me so fast, it's hard to remember what order everything goes in...
[Watching the way Azul moves in this look, unable to take his eyes off of him in a way that is causing more concern with every passing second.]
Ah... [He's so slender and graceful and--] Do you do your own makeup, too? [DISTRACT]
I do. Would you like a little help with learning? I am hardly an expert like Vil, but I do like to think I have a good eye for detail. And really it would simply be another subject for tutoring.
[Nodding emphatically, though Jamil's warning bells are definitely going off in Kalim's head right now. He's been warned a million times to never fall into Azul Ashengrotto's debt, but... he's finding it a lot more difficult to say "no" to him in this moment... What's up with THAT?
He's not really had the time to sit and study Octavinelle's housewarden as well as he should, but Kalim is really kicking himself for not noticing how pretty Azul really is until now-- does he have a beauty mark? Has that always been there? And his smile is so nice... It seems unfair that he's not acknowledged this before!]
Yeah! That sounds great, actually... [This is so weird why does it feel more like he's setting up a date than a tutoring session?? And why does that idea excite him so much right now?? Azul's literal boyfriends are right there!!
And yet...]
I know you're a pretty busy guy, so we can go by your schedule. I don't have much going on right now, so I can be as flexible as I need to be for you. [Was that an eyebrow twitch or an intentional waggle? Don't worry about it. He's back to beaming like the innocent angel he is--] Remind me so we can make a date when the game's over, okay?
[Smiles a bit, leaning in, the longer tendril of hair falling forward as he lowers his voice conspiratorily...as though he's sharing some great secret. Encouraging Kalim to lean in too with a small gesture of his hand]
If you really have so little to do here....surely you must be quite bored. Right...? I can help with that, if you'd like. Afterall, as you said yourself, my schedule is quite busy. It does make the time fly by, even here.
[Leaning in as well, matching the conspiratorial energy-- he loves some good tea, after all, but being this close... it's getting harder to ignore the reality of this situation.
Kalim... finds Azul Ashengrotto... alluring?? What the heck is up with that! Why can't he stop looking at his mouth.]
I do like not being bored... what did you have in mind?
[Don't agree to any terms, under any circumstance. But is fighting boredom with someone that is (ostensibly) your friend a "term"?? And surely there have to be some circumstance where this is okay--]
Mmm, a bunch! [He has to break eye contact so he can search the air above them for his answers and begin counting off on his fingers.] I caaaan break dance, I can belly dance, I know how to salsa, tango, samba, shuffle, swing dance, jazz, vogue, pop it, lock it, drop it, you name it! Jamil and I even started learning how to waltz not too long ago!
As far as playing music though, I'm... kinda only really good at drums? I could always take the time to learn a new instrument, but most of that brain power has been going to class, yanno? Eheh.
