You're right. I will be sorry.

I will exorcise you but I'll be sorry.

[itookashot]

[ Jesper laughs out loud for real. ]

What will you say at my eulogy?

Jesper died as he lived, never knowing when to shut up.

[bealufull]

Jesper will be missed.
It's almost as if I can still hear him speaking, in my head.

And even now its as if he doesn't know when to shut up.

Also, know this. If you don't make it back? I will find a way to torture you in the afterlife.
I didn't say you could die yet, did I?

[itookashot]

Aw would you miss me?

[ Does he go from laughing to flirting in a second flat? Always. ]

[bealufull]

That's a word for it.
But I'm not ready for you to not be in my life.

[itookashot]

[ Well that hits him like an emotional wallop. Who's Jordie? Someone I didn't want to lose. ]

You know I'm hard to kill. Besides, I have my new armor to test out.

[ Jesper's been working on it for a while, on a metal armor shirt that can also be pulled off into metal pieces and used as projectile weapons with his telekinesis. He's been practicing. ]

Maybe I'll bring you back something nice and shiny.

[ Stop flirting, Jesper. ]

Or just a new piece of a map.

[bealufull]

[ Maybe it's revealing a lot of his hand but its not early in the game and he has a clue or two about how things are between himself and Jesper. Not a clue of what they might be but where they do stand. ]

Try and not find out its weaknesses and strengths in the heat of battle.

[ Does he trust this material? As much as he does Jesper, which maybe says something. He's not sure how much he trusts their Grisha "magic" against the magic of this place. ]

Yes, I do seem the type to like shiny things.
Can you hear my eyes rolling?

[ Ignore the fact that the first thing he wanted as a nice, shiny fabrikated crow's head. Don't point that out. ]

Pieces to a map would do nicely though.

Though speaking of shiny things, I have work for you when we're not on the verge of war.
I should have sent it with you to do while you're riding. Keep you busy.

[itookashot]

That's the only time to test them. It's going to be great, I can't wait to shove it in Ciri's face that I'm as fantastic as I keep claiming.

[ From the sound of that, it would seem he doesn't like Ciri, but it's the opposite. He likes her a lot, because she's mean to him, and Jesper likes when people are mean to him. Don't @ him with speculation on that, Kaz knows better than most. He respects her too so he wants her attention and it will never end until she goes 'you're not that bad after all, Jesper.' The magic words. ]

Oh so you didn't want and love the shiny crow's head I made you?

[ He is going to point it out! ]

What kind of work?

[bealufull]

I see little has changed.
How is that working out for you here?

[ He suspects well, but he's seen this himself and he knows it can turn on Jesper as well.
Even if it hadn't with him. Not in the long run. ]

It's mine and don't touch it.
If it's shiny it's a distraction when I use it as a weapon.

I have a ring I need broken down.
Most of it for sale to fund us further, but there's a project I'd like done with parts of it.

[itookashot]

Have you met me? I'm a Summoned favorite, obviously.

[ This is 100% true. He gets along well with all the Summoned, he keeps a whole lot of information in his head that he shares whenever possible. The merchants both love and hate him, he's a favorite of the citizen kids and their parents. Jesper adapted so quickly and easily here. ]

A ring, huh? Are you going to share details with me or stay mysterious?

[bealufull]

Obviously. How could any deny your charm?
I wish text had sarcasm.

[ Except that he meant it, he just wouldn't admit it. ]

I acquired it recently, before things went south.
I thought it would be better off in a new setting or a few of them.
Including, perhaps, a pair of earrings for myself.
The rest we can reset and sell for our future.

[itookashot]

Since it does not have sarcasm, I'm going to assume that was in all sincerity and be very pleased that you've finally given into my charms.

[ See that is flirting. Delusionally or not. ]

Of course, boss.

Also, I haven't mentioned this to anyone else yet. But I think I'm on the verge of figuring out Corecloth.

[ The bullet-proof clothing armor that Durasts usually can make but Jesper has yet to. ]

[bealufull]

See this is why I don't like this communication. If you can't see my face, you don't know three quarter of what I'm saying.

Everyone else succumbs to your charms. What would it change if I did as well?

[ There isn't a response for a few minutes, considering that and the possibilities. ]

How close is on the verge?

[itookashot]

I don't know, I'm loving it right now. I get to assume everything I want to.

It would change that I'm allowed to flirt with you more often, obviously. That's at least half of my charm.

[ He does flirt with Kaz a lot less than everyone else, mostly because he didn't want to be thwacked with a cane. And out of respect for Inej. But give the man an inch, he'll take a mile.]

Technically, I already have. It's just not strong enough for bullets yet. I'm testing out some of it on this mission.

[ Recklessly. ]

[bealufull]

Just what are you assuming you think wouldn't be plain on my face in person?

Has that every stopped you before? I mean, it is what you do with everyone, right?

[ Because that is always what he's assumed it was, just him flirting with Kaz because it's what he does. ]

That seems entirely safe and without danger.

Now do you see sarcasm in my words?

[itookashot]

I wonder what you look like when flirting. I don't think I can imagine it properly. Have you ever flirted with anyone?

It is what I do with everyone, right. But sometimes I mean it more than other times.

[ He is still poking and prodding, pushing at boundaries, because it's what he does! ]

Oh that sarcasm came through clearly. I'll be fine, Kaz, you pulled me off the streets because I'm the best.

[bealufull]

That's obviously because you haven't been paying attention.

[ Which he feels is answer enough, though he's fairly certain the flirting he's done has been subtle enough that no one noticed. Not even though he was flirting with. ]

How is someone supposed to know when you truly mean it then?

The best does not mean impenetrable.

[itookashot]

You're killing me, Kaz!

If you're asking if I mean it, I mean it.

Listen when you see how impressive this armor works, you'll know you had no reason to worry.

[bealufull]

I'm answering your question, Jesper.

With whom? When? I'm not sure I always know that with you. At least when speaking of your charm.

I don't doubt it won't be impressive. Just the middle of a war is when you need it and when it's a danger to be testing an unknown thing.
You'll show me it all when you come back.

[itookashot]

With you. Obviously with you.

You just need to trust me. When have I ever let you down? Wait, RECENTLY when have I ever let you down?

[ Listen, he knows he did with all the gambling, he's not getting back to that! ]

[bealufull]

If you have let me down, you have more than made it up to me.
I think we both know I trust you.

[ There's a break before the next message comes. ]

I would have thought if I had said something untoward, Jesper, that you would have said something to me.

[itookashot]

That means a lot, Kaz. I hope you know that.

[ After that second message though. Eek. ]

In my defense, I thought you were being mean. Messing with my head.

[bealufull]

[ He can't help that he feels awkward now, uncertain what to say, and if it's welcome to continue. Both in how Jesper feels, and what Inej thinks of it. He hates this uncertainty, especially with them. ]

You still could have said something. I wouldn't mess with your head like that, Jesper. Not you.

It isn't a line of conversation that needs to continue if you're uncomfortable.

[itookashot]

I'm not uncomfortable, you just have to understand that this isn't innocent to me. I'm not playing around when it's you.

[bealufull]

[ He isn't sure this is the right way to say this but to Kaz it says a lot. ]

With how many people have you known me to let go of an indiscretion against my wishes? How many, Jesper, have I forgiven?
