It hadn't been all that long ago that Salim had made a firm decision to change himself. For the better. To be more open minded and accepting. To be less jealous, to be more confident. Leave it to the hotel to yank Salim back to his reality and take that journey for self growth on a different path entirely. On the plus side, Salim had grown a backbone. Though it was because of events that had happened to him, not necessarily because Salim himself had worked towards it. Was he freaking out? Maybe a little. He had meant what he said on the Network. He had tried to pretend like his jump through time hadn't happened. It would have been easier that way, wouldn't it? Unfortunately, it was far too much to just mentally set aside. Gods were real and Salim had witnessed things he could never repeat, for fear of sounding like a crazy person. To make matters worse, he was horribly worried about Jinn, even if the ifrit had royally stomped on his heart. Needless to say, when Eddie offered to keep him company, Salim couldn't refuse. Salim did need comfort, as much as he wanted to pretend like he didn't. Seeing Jinn right now would have been too difficult, emotionally overwhelming. Salim needed someone who could calm him down, not get him worked up further. So Salim would take the stairs one floor up, making a beeline for Eddie's room and knocking on the door. And hopefully, Eddie wouldn't mind that Salim was not behaving like his normal sunny self. |
