[ Jesper smiles and laughs with him, glad to see he didn't make a misstep so soon into an interesting conversation. He flirts as he breathes, but he does respond well to reading other people, and while this man seems fairly easy-going about it, he has no action to back up his words currently. ]
Well there is quite a lot to compliment about you, you're very pretty, but it's harmless I assure you. I have a boyfriend ... as much as one can when we are literally separated into different universes at the moment.
[ Wylan would be more startled if Jesper didn't flirt with every person he saw, so he wouldn't mind that. It is strange to think about the fact he might never see any of the others again. It's too new to really let it sink in to the point of him deciding whether or not moving on is an option. For now, it's not, and that's enough for him. A few months from now he might reassess. But that doesn't matter to the current situation.
Jesper can't sit down but instead of squirming he is running his fingers through the water, feeling the droplets sticking to his skin. He isn't intentionally trying to draw them with his abilities, but it's soothing in a way, grounding. It helps him actually focus on conversations. ]
Yes, Inej. She told me another friend of ours was here, but I haven't been able to find him. [ He frowns. ] The impossible part of that is he's very dead back home. So. Not sure what to make of that.
[ It isn't a complaint! If he does find Matthias (he won't, he's gone, they just don't know), he'll be delighted to see the giant grump breathing. But it seems impossible and odd and Jesper can only hope certain bodies stay where they're supposed to be. It would be his luck to have an enemy crawl out here rather than anyone else.
He pauses at the rural part and taps his fingers on his knees, considering. It's different here than Ketterdam, so he's reframing his life, his image. ]
I was raised on a farm, actually. And ran off to the big city the moment I could, so that's where I've stayed.
