Oh, I didn't say that exactly, but I did tell him I have just enough parent issues that someone in their forties would still do it for me. I should've specifically said daddy issues, missed chance.
[ Jesper is, of course, joking, in the sense that he really does not care about age in the least. He's attracted to people of any kind, but he was saying it to be a smartass, as per usual. He does technically have daddy issues, not the way a lot of other people do, in fact his dad is a good person who is moral and upright (with some blind spots) so he wouldn't want to hook up with anyone who reminds him of Colm. Gross. ]
My birthday, comparative to our time, would be in about three months. Every year we spend our birthdays amazed that we're not already dead, so it'll still work with this world, if I make it until then.
[ Hey, he's not going to assume. For all he knows he'll be dead tomorrow. That's why he's always having a good time, or tries to. Jesper may be young, but his city is full of dead youths, the ones who couldn't make it, so there's no such thing as the expectation of a long life. Only a hope.
Jesper sighs and rubs a hand through dark hair, mournful. ]
I had a sugar daddy, a beautiful rich boy with eyes a perfect crystal blue, sweet as can be. I was finally living in a mansion and not having to worry about money every minute of every day, and then bam, I'm here.
[ Saints he misses Wylan. He truly does. It's not actually the money that made him adore that ridiculously soft boy, but having money was going to make their life better. So he had love and a real house, but you know, good things rarely last in Ketterdam. Whoever said Wheels are supposed to be lucky is wrong when it comes to him. ]
I'm the one who would do the sugar daddy though, I would never bring it up to Inej even as a lark, she was ....
[ Well, that's a very dark thing that he is not inclined to say for her, although he knows it weighs on her every minute of every day. Jesper is drunk enough to slip up, but he manages to pause. ]
Let's just say it's a miracle she hasn't stabbed every man she's ever met already. So I'll happily have all the casual sex for us.
