[ Jesper would be glad to hear all of that, or rather, ready and willing to listen to anything she needs to talk about. But he also knows when to leave things alone, when to let someone else make a choice about what they want to dive deeper into. He may not know everything about Julie, but he knows all he needs to. Being her friend, being near her, it's enough.
They've all started a new life here. He misses Ketterdam, he misses his friends. He would still pick to go back if he could, but only if Inej can go too, he wouldn't want to leave her here alone. But he didn't expect to come to love this life too. Jesper has found a place here in Cadens, and with the Summoned who have become like family to him. If he's stuck here forever, he's surprisingly okay with that.
Jesper manages to make some room for her in his chair once he realizes what she's doing and wraps one of his arms around her. He is very touchy-feely with his friends typically and it is nice to get permission to be so now.]
You are surrounded by people who adore you and you can trust us.
[ Jesper is repeating what she's saying as affirmation, pressing his cheek down on top of her head, willingly cuddling close. ]
As long as I'm here, you'll never be alone. I promise.
This is so cute and I'm going to die
