Jamil Info Compilation part 18: Kalim(pt7)

Jamil often reflects on how Kalim ignores his input, does not listen and will literally sneak away to do things of which Jamil does not approve.

We see them argue over Kalim’s management of a parade, with Jamil saying he will do it while Kalim insists on helping, telling Jamil that he is a “worrywart” and that he will bring in well-trained animals until Jamil reluctantly relents (“…it seems you refuse to listen to me.”)

When Scarabia becomes cold at the start of Fairy Gala Kalim ignores Jamil to go off on his own, only to return immediately due to the temperature.

At Kalim’s request Jamil makes a warm soup for the members of the dorm, but Kalim insists on helping despite Jamil telling him that he needs to be monitoring the students as housewarden. Kalim follows Jamil to the kitchen despite his protests.

During Phantom Bride Jamil refuses outright to help any of the captured students, knowing that his participation would result in Kalim following him, and “There would be consequences for my entire family if (Kalim) were exposed to any danger.”

After the conclusion of the event Kalim ignores Jamil’s protests and runs to a storeroom to get an albert chain for Lilia to pose with. Jamil ends up running after him, leading to Jamil stressing over Lilia’s treatment of the antique accessory.

While preparing for the opening ceremonies Kalim suddenly becomes dissatisfied with the design of the ceremonial robes and decides to ask the headmage to make them a brighter color two hours before orientation is to start.

He runs off to find Crowley despite Jamil’s protests, and when Jamil catches up to him Kalim responds, “We can’t afford to waste time talking. We could be late for orientation!”

Jamil tries to get him to return to the dorm and finish preparations, unsuccessfully.

In a vignette we see Sebek follow students to Scarabia dorm on accident, leading to Jamil suspecting him of being an assassin who may be targeting Kalim. Jamil advises caution and Kalim ignores him to say hello.

Jamil reminds him not to trust new people so easily and Kalim calls him a worrywart.

After no one in Scarabia volunteers to take Sebek back to Diasomnia, Kalim tells Jamil to walk him back instead, saying, “If you won’t go, I will.” As the welcome party cannot proceed without Kalim, Jamil escorts Sebek against his better judgement.

It is soon revealed that Kalim followed them regardless, and the two get into an argument about Jamil wearing his hood, with Kalim repeatedly telling him to pull it down and Jamil repeatedly telling him to back off (Jamil may have been flustered by a compliment).

In a different vignette, after eating both his and Jamil’s lunches for the day, Kalim tries to apologize to Jamil by waiting in line for both of them in the school cafeteria.

He then brings stew for Jamil after Jamil requested pasta (possibly another example of Kalim's poor memory).

At the end of Book 6 (after several long conversations with Leona about his own abilities, his arrogance and his position vs. his potential) Jamil finally acquiesces to Kalim, allowing him to prepare forks and plates so that everyone can share a tart together.

Sonic Chronicles: Return of the Dark Brotherhood Chapter 1 Is Now Live!

Preview:

The loneliness was once Tails' only dependable friend, there morning, noon and night. His childhood on West Side Island left him isolated. Others would tease him, call him names and even physically assault him just because they saw him as different. He once wanted nothing more than to be alone, but that all changed when a certain blue hedgehog came into his life. As time went on, Tails formed friendships with others, becoming a confident and brave hero.

But all that changed days ago. Now he was alone once more on this huge ship he himself constructed. Tails exhaled, watching as the steam of his breath vaporised into the cold air. His sky blue eyes veiled towards the large window claimed by the freezing temperatures. He could no longer see the outside world lest he wiped the windows clean from within, but Tails lost his motivation to do so days ago.

Damage to the Blue Typhoon forced the main generators to shut down. The only thing keeping the ship operational was the backup power. Darkness claimed most of the ship, the interior only illuminated by the gentle red rays of the emergency lights. His eyes averted towards the screen in front of him. The ship's radar continued scanning for life, but the only objects that came into frame were the rocks from the asteroid field. The asteroids occasionally bounced against the ship. Tails once jolted at each bump, but he had since grown to tune the noise out.

He leaned back in the captain's chair, solemnly gazing towards the condensed windows that blocked his line of sight from the infinite continuum of space. As time went on, the loneliness felt more like solitude, for one finds ways to cope. Yet to have real company of one who cared for him, that would be sweet indeed. He wanted to cry, to let the universe know of his grief. But any desire to cry had been pushed to the back of his mind long ago.

This loneliness was a vice on his heart, squeezing with just enough pressure to be a constant pain. It killed Tails every day just a little bit more, taking what was once his inner light and replacing it with a darkness that overshadows each moment. He was destined to die on this ship. Either the cold would eventually take him, or maybe the monsters that took his friends from him would return to finish the job. Sonic, Amy, Knuckles…

All gone.

When friends feel like paper chains in the rain and the sky holds nothing but the promise of more storms, life is lonely. When all Tails wanted is a hand to hold or an arm around his shoulders and none came, the world became cold and empty, a slow poison for the soul. Tails longed to be loved and nurtured, and to do the same for others. He was born to be in tribes with social bonds that last a lifetime. But now he would never see them again.

A soft beeping entranced his attention, drawing Tails back to reality. His eyes widened, hastily bringing his attention back to the radar. A friendly tag appeared within the screen, the monitor alerting him of their approach. All traces of depression and loneliness faded away within an instant.

Without hesitation, Tails quickly grabbed the headset and placed it on his head. "Is anyone there?! Sonic? Is that you? Sonic? Amy? Knuckles?!"
