Jesper doesn't bother to show the same paranoia because he knows automatically that Kaz will do it. He's always got his eye on their backs so he knows without watching him that Kaz is making certain they're not followed, he's unsurprised when he handling the windows and put his cane at the door. Jesper agrees with him. This seems too good to be true and he wonders if in a few hours the army will be banging on their door saying they've decided to lock them in the barracks for now. It won't go well for them if they do.
"Not as many thieves and troublemakers as in Ketterdam, unfortunately." This to Kaz. It's probably his least favorite part of Cadens. Too much army, not enough criminals with their own code, like the Dregs. For now they can focus on Mat though, not on the problems that could come with him. Jesper is determined to be happy.
He takes the drink offered and sits on a chair next to Mat, leaning into him automatically, putting an arm around his shoulders. He kisses his cheek and then leans his head against him, apparently unhappy unless they are touching in various ways. He's starving for the concept of Mat safe and sound in his arms where Thorne can't get him. He's only been dreaming of this for years.
"I was playing the fashion fool for a time but unfortunately blowing up a base put me a bit in their crosshairs, so spend more time with Kaz in public, perhaps, in these first few days." Kaz isn't the one who decided to get on the military's radar with both his actions and his abilities. It wasn't a happy set of consequences, but in typical Jesper form, he regrets nothing.
"Can't wait to show you Aquila and Libertas though, maybe we should have a beach day, mmm?" He waggles his eyebrows playfully at Kaz. Who stays in his black no matter where they go.
