"Fine, we're all fools. That shouldn't be a surprise."

They're all very smart people who are also very stupid sometimes. It's honestly how the Crows work. Genius and foolishness all at once. Jesper isn't concerned, not really, it's the three of them, everything will work itself out. If he can help Kaz get used to touch enough that he and Inej can kiss without the passing our part, great. It means he'll help his friends, and that's all he's ever really cared about. Not to mention it'll get Kaz to open up in general, like he is now, and that only means good things.

"Saints, Kaz, there's no need to rush things. We'll take all of it slowly. You don't need to have it all figured out today. We're not going anywhere."

Jesper squeezes his arm reassuringly. This is one of those times when him being emotionally intelligent can come in handy. Truth is, they might not always be around, any of them could disappear, so living for today is important, but it's already a win that Kaz explained himself at all.
