[Kaz does care for Jesper, very much, even if his way of showing it is often chiding Jesper on his gambling and drinking and trading quips and insults. He holds Jesper to a higher standard than the other man probably likes, but in that way they help balance one another out a little. Kaz tries to keep him in check, and Jesper tries to nudge Kaz out of his comfort zones on occasion.
The fact that Inej wants to track Kaz’s movements from afar, just like she always has from the shadows, makes Jesper wipe his mouth to hide a grin.]
Oh, you walk on it, too? Well, it’s not like he uses it for sleeping. I am sitting on his desk wondering when he has time to dust. This room is freakishly clean. He’s cuddling the cat. Oh my goodness, it’s adorable. Kaz, speak up, we want to hear those sweet nothings you’re telling our little mascot.
[Jesper is, of course, entirely lying. Kaz simply gives him a long side eye as he sets the book on the table with a thump and pointedly moves the stool back away from the bed to sit in his desk chair rather than get comfortable. He does allow his bad leg to rest on the stool, his one concession to the weather.
Inej wants to hear Kaz’s voice, Jesper knows that’s part of the teasing. Raising his eyebrows, he makes a ‘come on’ gesture with his hands. Curious. He’s never known Kaz to be at a loss for words or shy about speaking.]
I’m sitting down questioning many life choices at the moment.
That requires drinking. Inej, love, find something to drink with us. Last person with a drink in their hands is the first one who has to make a toast.
