Jamil wasn't one for friendship or friends in general, he was Kalim's servant, he had no time to build connections... But you were an exception. Jamil doesn't trust anyone, but seeing how he let's you help with cooking and other chores around the dorm you broke some barriers around his heart.

Of course Jamil had his own ways of showing his gratitude and care for you, whether it be making you lunch or organizing your things, Jamil does appreciate the help you do for him. Of course with Kalim also grown found of you you're basically at the dorm 24\7, Jamil didn't mind though you're basically the first and only person he can call a friend... Or maybe even more than that.

The topic of visiting his home land was dropped once or twice, Jamil tried to avoid that topic like the plague. His younger sister Najima would always call him a week in advance before the holiday to confirm if he would stay on campus or visit. Unfortunately Najima found out about her brother's little friend and proposed the two of you stay with his family for the holidays. Jamil promptly rejected the idea but Najima had already told their mother and father about your arrival, not only that but you were also excited to meet his family as well.

To make matters worse Kalim was also ecstatic knowing you'd be coming to his home land along with Jamil for the holiday, Jamil was already in too deep now, he just hope for one normal holiday. When you arrived to The Scalding Sands you were bombarded by different servants that welcomed Kalim home. Kalim pulled you in as Jamil walked behind with the luggage, Kalim was too busy bouncing off the walls showing you around his palace. Soon it was time to meet Jamil's parents who were also servants of the Al Asim family.

"Jamil, welcome home. This must be your friend-" his mother's breath was caught in her throat as she took in your appearance, "My...um, they're not what we expected..." she tried to play it off as Jamil's father eyed you down. " This is your friend Najima has been talking about? "
