Jamil's connection to the colour red (in my fic)
Red is the colour of snake whisper: what he feels gives him power and control and gives him the little possession he has of others. It makes him feel like he's in control even though he has no real autonomy over who he uses his unique magic on
Red is the colour of the royal family: it's Kalim and his rubies, Kalim and his eyes, Kalim's passion is red and fiery and Jamil can feel it scalding his skin
Red is the colour of the grapes Minajael eats and the colour of the curtains in his chambers, the colour of blood and what reminds Jamil of the things he does for his family
Red is the opposite of Minajael, and Jamil is the opposite of him too, as he should be as a servant, and Minajael as the prince -- somehow they're more similar than they should be, being clear-cut sections of red and blue
Red is Jamil, all in all
