"I just feel like if they're here to show us how bad war is, they should focus on the people causing the war. Why aren't the people in charge specifically getting swarmed with divine justice?"
Jesper doesn't know if they are, but he sort of doubts it. Some weird sense of power injustice feels like it continues no matter where they are. The gods are punishing everyone by heralding the dangers of war, when they could just aim for the people actually responsible for it and end it that way! It's not as if the average civilian had anything to do with this.
He leans sideways on the couch and puts his head in Mat's lap, looking up at him. "If I was a god again, I would have come down hard on that new Thorne king. Make it so he could feel nothing but misery." Jesper gave love out freely and encouraged the affection between people, but love could turn in an instant into anger and bitterness. He'd afflict the man that way.
