[ Exposure is dangerous. It was the answer Cal was expecting, but he still looks sad, having to hear it. He's even been there—though he was trained by the Jedi when he was a child, he was only a Padawan when that training stopped. And while Cere did her best to fill in some of the gaps, it feels like there's still so much he doesn't know. So much he'll never know.

Sometimes he wonders if the Order would even recognize the Jedi he's become. ]

Don't blame you for that. [ For wanting to avoid the army, that is. Cal doesn't have any reason to mistrust the Free Cities military, but he doesn't have any reason to trust them either—and given his complicated experience with war and occupying forces, he's more predisposed to mistrust.

So he doesn't want the army getting any ideas either. ]

I—not exactly. [ He's caught off guard by the enthusiasm, by how quickly Jesper cottoned on, blinking at Jesper as he drags the chair towards himself. ] I was just going to... [ Well. He's already in this. Might as well explain. ] I can see memories attached to objects, echoes in the Force of past moments. I just wanted to see if I could sense what you did.

[ Being an uncontrolled child Grisha wasn't exactly nice. It's one of the reasons he understands why local Grisha agreed to be sent away in his area. The one girl he knew who did it, part of why she did was due to his mother dying for her. She wanted to make something of the sacrifice. And she seemed to make good on her choice, so that was up to her. Jesper just knows he would've hated it. ]

They came sniffing around here before for me. [ He says grimly. ] During a supply run mission we came to a gap without a way across so I turned a tree and the earth into a bridge. They distracted the soldiers but it wasn't good enough, they reported what they saw.

[ Jesper's fear when Claude told him he'd been questioned stayed with him. He was afraid for Ciri, that she'd be questioned and her teleportation would've come up, so he protected her by admitting to it when pressed. It wasn't a great moment for him. ]

I was interrogated and I had to tell them the truth. They left it at that for now, but they know me now.

[ And that comes with all kinds of problems as Cal can guess. The army threat is around him at all times now because they know at least some of what he can do. He suspects they wouldn't have asked if they didn't want to know who made that bridge. If it wasn't important, no one would have bothered. He was using his telekinesis openly and no one questioned that, but it's made him tense ever since. ]

Sorry, I shouldn't have assumed, I just think you're interesting.

[ And that means he's curious what he's capable of. Everyone around here has some kind of gift, whether it's natural or created here, so he jumped there. But he's definitely into it as he sets the chair down and lets Cal do whatever he wants to it. He listens to his explanation and smiles. ]

That is unique. Not sure I've heard of that before.

[ If so, no one told him. If Cal does use it, he would be able to see the memories of the chair itself, but also of it being modified and altered. Not just once; Jesper's fixed imbalanced chair legs before, nicks when he saw them, this has already been a patchwork job in the making. ]
