Well. I mean. They're not great? I thought that was common knowledge by now, or is that just because we're from the Free Cities? Although I can see how they might take offense to threats of murder. If you're gonna kill them, I'd suggest skipping the threats stage entirely.
[ That is definitely not the advice he should be giving, but he assumes Jesper had good reason. Because that makes it okay, right?

Although he waves away Jesper's dismissal, fixing him with a knowing look. ] Yeah, I've got a whole team of healers worrying about that so I don't have to. And Hilda. Who's terrifying, by the way. I may need rescued again at this point.
[ He doesn't actually sound that worried at all, despite the playful words. But he does give Jesper's cheek a light pinch before chiding him gently. ]
You might not have been down there with us, but you were left behind to worry and drive yourself nuts, which I think would be just as bad, especially when someone is more used to being able to do something. [ While he can't say that he would choose being in the Pit, imagining his friends missing and not knowing where they were, knowing there was nothing he could do about it for weeks on end - it sounded almost as horrifying to him. ] I'm allowed to worry about you back. You look tired.
