[Jesper does indeed raise his glass, with Kaz having his resting on his thigh. Honestly, he enjoys simply hearing her voice, but having it come at Jesper’s expense is an especial treat. Her toast and Jesper’s subsequent mock gasp that follows earns a snort from him, a hair shy of a laugh. Inej can be incredibly clever and best the best of them sometimes, and he loves when it happens.]

I’d like it noted I’m also drinking to the look on Jesper’s face right now. Nicely done.

[He does raise his glass and drink, feeling the warm alcohol burn from his throat to his belly but is followed up with a rush of warmth.]

I see how it is. Well, I am drinking to my incredible patience in dealing with two children. And I’m trying to booze Kaz up so he’s more reasonable when I ask him why my boyfriend is working throughout the night.

Wylan told me that if he did he could have my project done by morning.

[Jesper sighs and takes another drink.]

Right. Inej, how does one point out to him that a normal human’s response would be ‘sleep and finish it by afternoon’ instead?
