"No, I think for once you're being the greater fool."
Jesper replies with a roll of his eyes. Which is a fun position to be in, since he's typically fulfilling that role with good-tempered spirit. Kaz has so much pride so this is going to be an uphill battle and he knows that, but he is genuinely not concerned. They're on a path. Jesper's always trusted himself to just push through things and win out in the end. It's his way.
He glances toward Inej when she says that and it's a little startling to be in on a conversation with the two of them that is this intimate and personal. He is used to being their third wheel in many ways, and it's never bothered him, and if he didn't know Inej he would feel that he was in the wrong place right then. But she speaks from the heart in her own way, just as he does.
"Kaz, if you didn't have a heart, you wouldn't be here saying these things. You really need to be kinder to yourself. I know kindness isn't a trait you put much stock in, but it's a healing one, when used correctly." It was one of the things Jesper loved about Wylan, his insanely kind once-love. His father also has it in spades, albeit in slightly more rough ways at times.
