Jesper sticks his tongue out at Kaz, mostly because he has no verbal argument he can make for his behavior. Something that wasn't surprising to any of them given his general everything, but he did end up learning a lesson from it. He'll be more careful now. Kaz has said what he needed about the situation and they don't need to rehash, but he gets to take his verbal snaps about it any time he wants.

"Alright we can wait a week before going to the beach." He kicks out the nearest chair to encourage Kaz to sit in it, and once he does he'll lean forward to snag it closer to them. So what if he wants both of them near him within easy grabbing distance, he's allowed. They're his partners for life, Jesper is going to take advantage of every opportunity to lean into this lucky twist.

"They'll take you back over my dead body," Jesper says, cheerfully. And sincerely. "But they did say you could leave the last time I made a scene. We'll just all make a scene this time, they'll have thrice the reason to let it go." The point was that Mat wasn't going to pick Thorne this time. He was exactly where he needed to be. Jesper has no doubt they'll manage to make this work, now that the three of them were in sync with each other.

"My men are both here, I'm going to burst." He grins. "I'm not sorry for the level of snuggly I'm about to get, my loves."

"Mmm, less scary royalty. Means they're likely just better at hiding things and not into bluster. I've only met one I didn't despise."

He wouldn't say he entirely liked him but it wasn't despising him. He'd come around a bit more to him in this place.

Much as there might have been in the past, there is little hesitation as he moves to settle in beside Jesper. For a moment he seems distant though, his mind going to another time and place when the three of them had sat together. How different things had been then, but enough to put Kaz on a path in this place that he had no desire to give up. Some might not have believed it was real. He refused to believe anything but, especially with their shapeshifted forms.

He gives a snort at Jesper's cheerful murder plans, shaking his head. "You know, it's always amazing to me that as the Bastard of the Barrel, you're the one that just guns them all down. At least I have the decency to torture some first," he says, as if that's entirely normal and sane.

"Whatever they try, we'll figure it out. Sorry to say, Mat. You made a choice once. You're ours now. I'm bad about giving things back once they're mine."

Totally not a threat, right?
