"Oh look at you flirting like a professional. I'm so proud."
Jesper smiles wearily at him and rubs a hand against his back. He will just keep giving Kaz over clothing affection until it becomes natural and he doesn't blink at it anymore. Exposure therapy.
He's always been aware of his Grisha abilities, obviously. They've been a part of him since he was born. So it was a lot easier to adapt to the magic here on top of his own. Jesper already has the force of will to make spells seem far easier than someone who is new to it, so of course he can snap and it works, and it takes Kaz a little longer. It'll be easier the more he does it.
"Almost there. Just demand it, like you're ordering one of the Dregs to do something for you. The magic is in there, and you can command it." Someone else might cajole it or simply slide into the feeling, but Jesper believes this would make it easier for Kaz. And in a way, controlling magic? Can give him back some control he's lost.
