"I have pretty good luck, I might get away with never having to." Take the poison out of someone in specific. Jesper still hasn't learned healing in general, it takes a sort of finesse he doesn't have. He'd have to learn more about the way the body works and it's not his patience level. "I have normal healing spells now anyway." He learned a few things from the magic of this realm and that was one of the first things he did. To cover what he wasn't good at.
He looks fairly grave at that question. "Grisha are generally hated because of being different. Ravka only started tolerating them in exchange for using them in the army. Then there's Fjerda who won't rest until we're all dead. And then there are other people who would sell us to either side." This is all factual and quite terrible, so it explains more why he would want to hide in the first place. Why it was dangerous to be acknowledged as one, and why he also hid even after leaving his father.
"People often join the army because it's the only place that protects them and lets them find a community together." It's where the majority of Grisha are, outside of hiding or keeping to little sects. Jesper can see how that would appeal to Leoni, having that sense of belonging. If they're already going to be in danger, they might as well find a place.
"When Kaz took me in, he knew what I was. He knew someone else might have sold me out or forced me to use my abilities in exchange for safety. He's always protected me, from other people and from myself." It's why Jesper is so die-hard for Kaz Brekker and loves him, is loyal to him in a blind way. People don't always understand the two of them from the outside, or Kaz himself, but his crew know how deeply (and secretly) he loves.
