"She is, I adore her. She might be a hard nut to crack when you meet her, but she's a good person underneath." Which could be said about the other two Wheels, Jesper included. He hides behind his smiles and casual brush-offs about serious things, as does Mat, but all three of them have deep feelings and empathy on the inside. Inej is so quiet and the opposite of her, he's not sure they'll get along, but who knows, he can hope.
"That you'll have in common. She was the first person to warn me about him, before I met him. He's been war-mongering for a long time, apparently, and wants violence." Jesper heard from multiple people about Goro before he met him, and he had the exact experience as Inej; he had a bad feeling. He didn't last long in a brief conversation, avoiding him from then on. The two of them have very good guts when it comes to these things. Warlords or gang leaders aren't immediately bad guys, from their own experience, but when someone flags them, they know why. "I think we should stay away from him, unless he starts something." He clearly wants to, considering he's here and unwelcome. If he messes with anyone Jesper cares about, he'll have a bullet in him.
"There's something really steady about him. Calm. Obviously the opposite of me that way, but it's trustworthy." Jesper thinks he's a good person to call in an emergency. (This will become relevant someday.) "They are. It reminds me of us, the Crows. How we felt like family." The relevant important Crows, as they both know the Dregs in general don't count. But there was this bonding that came with that group, so tightly. He feels that when he's with Sam, Nadine, Wanda, Julie, Geralt. It's connection, pure. "I suppose if they all knew a new way to flee from Thorne, they would've offered it already."
