"Oh!" Jesper laughs. "Home. I'm a Grisha, born with supernatural abilities, we all do different things. I'm from a group called Durasts, we manipulate matter, so I can turn solids into liquids, and vice versa, or create pretty jewelry from metal scraps." That's his secret to why he can do such incredible turn around, where he seems to somehow have replenished his work the next day with no problem. Jesper gets cheap materials and uses his gifts to make it look beautiful.
"It's also why I'm a perfect shot. I use telekinesis on the bullet, I can make it go anywhere. I am a near-perfect shot in reality, I usually just need a little oomph to be perfect." Jesper doesn't need his gifts to be lethal, he would be able to hit his targets 9/10 times without them, but they work to give him that edge. He realizes he's never explained that to her, so he's happy to answer. "I hid it back home because they make Grisha fight for the army, or kill us, so it's only here I got used to them."
He's looking forward to a decade from now being quite the expert, like his mother was. Jesper's already pretty decent now that he uses it every day, but it takes precision to get to a higher level. He raises an eyebrow at her and reaches out to take her hand, kissing her knuckles sweetly.
"I don't take it the wrong way, love. Everyone feels differently about it. Nothing is right or wrong in this area." Personal taste. He smiles at the glitter. "Nah, it looks good. Unless you want it, you can keep it."
