"And people are getting careless, they think they're safe." They did. That's how they lost Kaz. They knew it was never safe in Ketterdam and that meant they were safe due to always being ready, always being aware. Over time their defenses have dropped here, and now it is very clear they never should have done that. Jesper will not let his guard down again here.
Jesper breathes in sharply and lets it out, trying to get himself centered. It doesn't do anyone good if he's not on top of it, but there is this feeling he's getting. Deep dread. It has been a long time since it crept up on him. Gray eyes turn toward her.
"You remember your sneaky spells if anything comes up. I have my super speed." They both have abilities now that make it very easy to get out of a dangerous situation, and at least now they'll be ready. Wary. (Unfortunately, he doesn't know yet in the end that doesn't matter. Their capturers are even better than they can imagine.)
