They disintegrate? Then why are they trying to fuck with it? I'd leave it alone entirely if that were the case, they're asking for mass disintegration at this point. So they summoned us here as test subjects to mess with the thing they can't?
[ Jesper looks concerned and sounds slightly incredulous. It's a little insane, honestly! The Summoned were brought here for that reason, and he wonders when they figured out that they wouldn't die instantly around it, the same as the civilians here. Did they just luck out that it worked that way? Jeez. He's heard of leaders caring very little for the people they put into the army or who fight for them, and technically stealing people from other worlds would make very good lab rats. Then no citizens die, only these strangers.
Listen, Jesper understands seeing something shiny and wanting to poke it, although he is not someone who needs to comprehend everything that happens. If someone can explain the Singularity to him, he'd probably listen, but he is not going to study it either. He just wants to roll with things and stay alive. And poking the magic is clearly a dangerous idea made by idiots, in his opinion. He has a bad feeling it won't be the people in power who suffer when it goes wrong. Typical! ]
Yeah, Fjerda doesn't let woman fight in their army, although they did recently steal some Grisha to use for their own reasons, but they don't see Grisha as people.
[ Which explains why they didn't mind doing horrible tests on them and seeing them become addicted to a drug that would eventually kill them. Women or men, that didn't matter, the power is what did. It's still strange to him to think Matthias was once like them. It's not that he's become an entire other person, he still had his weak spots, and he was a bit of a dick at times, but that level of hateful was what Jesper observed for himself in the man that died for their mission. He's glad he didn't meet him before.
Jesper brightens when she brightens since she has answers and he's fascinated, sipping his wine as he listens. Then she comes right out and starts using magic casually, which startles him. It's happening everywhere here, but he still didn't expect it from her. He smiles and relaxes, sort of taking in the reality that he won't be hunted down here. ]
So there's no reason to fear magic because anyone can do magic. Wow. Then I guess I don't have to worry.
[ He glances to the side and spots an empty cup on a newly vacant table, reaching out and it quickly lifts and zips straight into his waiting hand. It's not like he wants to keep a dirty dish though so he sends it back, a little more carefully so it doesn't fall over. ]
It's an easy way of getting items.
[ And that's one of the ways he ends up stealing. He can do it from pickpocketing and sleight of hand too, but there are few ways that can beat a very quick telekinetic pull when no one is looking. ]
