Do we know why people go back, then? Could it be Thorne intentionally sending away people who can call them on their shite?
[ It would be logical! Get rid of anyone who can point out how they messed up, bring in new people who have no idea and have an incentive to help them out. Jesper himself avoided signing up to help the Free Cities unless he has a very good incentive too, like $$$$$, but he did meet a few people in the barracks who were already prepared to help out or sign up for the army even. He doesn't know how people go, only how they come.
He is concerned about the whole locking up thing, but he already was pretty sure Thorne was full of it and not worth getting involved with. They might have some fancy food and shiny objects, but it's not enough. Free Cities wasn't paying his way here, otherwise he'd be suspicious of them too.
The bullets are long and would suit the rifles he stole them from, but he can also change their shape and size to whatever he wants. It means he'll have to spend less money than most people on bullets. Not that he's going to admit to that. She is right on the money about that but Jesper's so used to pretending he has no powers that he just shrugs. ]
You're right, it would be useless without a gun.
[ Neither confirming or denying although the assumption is there. And that's why he needs a damned gun. He stuffs them back into his pockets. Jesper is a bit surprised about the lucky part. ]
I have been called lucky, so that tracks.
[ He's the one who always ruins his luck for himself. He has gotten out of situations and scrapes many times when he shouldn't have. The times he loses are his own fault, not that of lady luck. ]
And I like to spin wheels of fortune, we have those, part of our gambling.
