"Gids!" Jesper's smile is bright for her, high wattage, and he gives her the finger guns right back. Claude introduces himself and Jesper waves a hand between the two of them. "Claude, this is Gideon Nav, she's exactly the type of person one would want on an adventure -- I mean mission." She's funny, energetic, dangerous, and he thinks they're going to end up having quite a lark together. This trip is looking more and more fun, and maybe he shouldn't be having fun considering everything, but whatever. He's going to anyway.

He starts to say more but glances over to find the fourth of their crew has arrived. Ooooh this is a different type of fun. Jesper laughs on the inside because he can only imagine Ciri's internal monologue at this point.

"Annnnd this is Ciri." Why not finish up the introductions since she didn't think to do it herself? He actually assumes Gideon already knows her, it's not like they have a huge group here in Cadens, but Claude is new enough that he might not have. "Hunter extraordinaire." He knows Claude is skilled in his own world, but Ciri knows these deserts better than all three of them.

Maybe they won't die after all! (Hey, it was always a possibility.)

He salutes her. "Course I do." Okay maybe it's been many years, but whatever.
