Wylan pauses, taking in Jesper's grin. "Oh don't be so smug about it, of course, I love you. How could I not? You and that stupid face of yours." Jesper's smile is enough to take the angry wind out of his sails, and he has to fight not to grin back at him, not yet.

"Loving you has always been easy, ever since the ice court, when I saved you from those guards." Now it's his turn to be a little smug. He deserves it, though if he's being honest he's probably been in love with Jesper from the moment they met, he just hadn't realized it. His stupid face and that perfectly shaped mouth.
