At least it's sometimes exciting. I haven't felt adrenaline in months, and it's my favorite feeling.
[ Seriously, Jesper would take it over almost anything else. Probably the only exception is lust, but it's close. It's what led him to the life he led back home, and while he was preparing for a less interesting life with Wylan, he knew he could always go running back to Kaz for occasional jobs when he was feeling restless. Here there is no real end to that restless feeling. At least it isn't for the same reason as before, his addictions soothed enough to be manageable. But he's a man of action.
He is making enough coin now it's not about that. Although he can always, always find more reasons for coin. Greed is a favorite sin, but it's from this feeling that he'll never have enough to be safe. Never enough to end up on the street again, humiliated and lost. But generally. He's making plenty of money here.
Jesper throws the next blade, asssuming they're taking turns. ]
Rabbit. That's what Mum started me on. Felt pretty bad, hit it in the wrong place that first time, so it suffered.
[ The rabbit didn't have to suffer long, they were pretty quick, but young Jesper took it to heart. Jesper may be a killer, and he is one despite his light demeanor, but he does not enjoy suffering of anyone. Not even his enemies, he's not Kaz Brekker, who would make then die slowly. He'd shoot them in the head and be done with it, quick and easy. ]

After that, I always went for the head.
[ He glances over at Geralt. ]
And you?
