"It's alright, that's something we both want changed." Jesper feels like his addiction is not a fundamental part of his actual personality or mind or anything. It's a consequence. A symptom. Stopping it is good for all of them and he wouldn't want them to enable him. Everyone has their downfall, he's lucky in a way that his is one they can all see and handle.
"To be fair, it's not as if the Grisha in Ravka knew what the hell to do with my kind either. They had them wasting all their effort making clothes." Corecloth is worth making, that's not the point. They are both wearing it now. But there is so much more they are capable of doing. Durasts can be exceptionally dangerous, as Jesper is an active and every day example of. But from what he's heard, they are very overlooked. So maybe it's osmething similar here, they might be able to do what he can do, but they simply don't think of it. He's unique for a Durast.
"I almost signed up, you know. When you lot were taken." No, Kaz absolutely does not know, because Jesper never told him. He hasn't spoken a word about that experience, in fact. He was focused on getting them back, he did that, he lost his shit in public about Mat, he licked his wounds privately and locked it away in an emotional box. "I thought they'd help us more if I did."
It was a back pocket kind of idea. If there was absolutely no other way. And if he thought the Free Cities could actually help him, which in the end, they couldn't. Jayce and Viktor did it. The Summoned saved themselves.
"I support whatever you want to do, sweetheart. And if you need to leave, it'll probably be easy." There will be so much going on and so many costumes and such that slipping out will be simple.
