"I'm sure you wish that but lets be true, I'm never blinded entirely not by anything. Not even your striking and handsome good looks."
Despite the words, they're not distant but warm and soft because it's a sad truth and not a joke. Before he'd ever known what his guard should be, Kaz had let it down and now his brother was gone. He'd never let that happen again because he would never risk losing those he loved again.
He tries to consider the maps for a moment, thinking about what Jesper is saying. There were a lot of places that could easily house a handful of Summoned who were where they weren't meant to be but the times when they would be most needed to act on things could mean so much more space. If they found the key to pulling this off.
All of that though is backburnered at that touch, the way Jesper's hands brush against his chest and he moves in closer. There isn't a second thought as his hands slide along Jesper's trim waist and draw him in close.
So often Kaz's mind is going 24/7 but the moment Jesper draws him close like this, his attention is laser focused and only on the other man.
"Tell me by toss hay you mean something more enjoyable than what that literally means," he murmurs, his gaze going from Jesper's eyes to his mouth before Kaz leans in and kisses him tenderly. What had once been almost impossible for him while remaining conscious now felt like something natural that he needed.
Even if the kiss is slow, and tender, deliberate even as his nails dig in, using that hold to pull Jesper in closer to him.
"I worked too hard for you both to be happy," he murmurs, his lips brushing against Jesper's as he speaks. "Not to make sure that you don't have both, safety and happiness. Even here. Especially here."
