Because they both know Kaz can pretend. He can fake being cold and hard, even as his seventeen year old heart is break. All it would take is a touch for Jesper to break him right then and there, and he knows it, but he won't admit it. He normally wouldn't. He definitely won't right now.
Kaz doesn't say another word though. Not at first. Not even as that apology comes. He just keeps walking, focusing on his steps despite the weight on his shoulders making it even harder than it might normally be.
"You will be, Jesper, and you have been. You will be again."
He has no idea what the hell is going on but its not right.
"You may always fall back to gambling but you would never have done what you just tried. What's wrong with you?"
There's a bitterness there, a twisted form of the anger a moment ago. He isn't the sort of man anyone would try and seduce to get their way. Jesper especially would know that, even with the feelings they've admitted for one another. He wouldn't have tried such an easily lost risk if something wasn't wrong.
