[ Jesper's only real ulterior motive is potentially getting flirted with back because it's fun and that's really all there is to it. He has flirted with and seduced people for cons, he makes a very good honey pot when he wants to be, but it's not his first move. ]
No one really made a move on me once I got snatched by the Dregs, loyalty is in short supply in Ketterdam, and most of the city's supply is in me.
[ Jesper's joking about it because he can, but most gangs are up for hire or members switch sides if they think there's a good reason. No one takes it that personally, especially if there's more money or power involved, but the Crows look after each other. And his loyalty is never up to question, which is why it took a while for Kaz to figure out how they nearly all got killed. It was Jesper's stupidity that caused it, not his loyalty, alas.
It sounds like the Scions were like that for Thancred. You can always tell loyalty over money. Jesper can only see reasons why Thancred would be worth recruiting, so good call, Thorne. Unfortunately, since Jesper doesn't trust them at all, and his list of people he likes there is growing longer and therefore slightly more stressful. ]
Exactly. It was very cathartic. Those bastards really had it coming.
[ They honestly had much worse coming, but he couldn't actually get all of his rage out on them, so this would have to do. As for the drug, it gets Jesper to be serious for once. ]
Not all of it, but we did manage to smuggle the boy out who could make it, and an antidote was made. Otherwise people could have an army of superpowered soldiers completely unable to do anything other than follow orders due to being addicted and controlled.
