He's a greatly passionate fellow, my Jesper. Very free with his feelings.

[Mat can only imagine what that's translated to. Considering that some of Jesper's most important people had been taken and subjected to light knows what, exactly, he can guess the other man's state was 'frenzied'.

But it's nothing he's going to worry about now. He's out. And while the situation is still not great, it's something he's reasonably certain he can survive. But blood and ashes is Julie's little set up a welcome sight. He's never been this close to the Singularity's manifestation here. An intentional avoidance, but at the moment he doesn't give a damn. He gratefully sinks down into the pillows, shuddering as he does so. Comfort. Actual, true comfort. Soft pillows instead of filthy ground or the floor of a cave.]

Thank you. Rest I can do. My body's in a cave somewhere, not exactly a rejuvenating spot for a nap. And it's cold as fuck, but we've got fire. Came out of that...that place on a frozen lake, in the mountains. Above the snow line.
