"I've been here eleven months just waiting for them to show their cards. I thought when the war began they would." It is extremely annoying to be sitting here all this time, paranoid and suspicious, with them technically doing nothing to make his fear justified. At least if they did, they all would finally know what the deal is. This unknown quantity is frustrating. Jesper likes knowing the motives of his enemies, and he does still see them as that.
"Oh. Yes. My closest friends didn't know I was a Grisha. Only Kaz." Jesper kept that very close to the vest with the people he loves, he can be very cagey about it. He started to be more open about his abilities here, and look at where that's probably led him. Besides, he has a reason he likes to be seen as the fun and cheerful guy who never seems worried. It's a good front that doesn't encourage deeper questions.
The fact he said only Kaz knew probably says a lot about where his trust lay from the start. Although he never really told him, he already knew, and he had Jesper do some things for him. "He's the leader of the gang Inej and I are in. The three of us are a unit." There are more Dregs, and Wylan and Nina exist, but it really is the three of them at the core. Kaz and his two hands, the dagger and the gun.
"He's ... I'm not going to say shy, but he has a hard time connecting with people. It's put him at a disadvantage here, and made starting over difficult." Jesper and Inej have a much easier time making friends and allies, which has always been true. But Kaz was always the leader, so in Ketterdam, he was in control. He hasn't been adapting the way he wants to. "He is one of the most loyal people you'll ever meet, but he is also cold and difficult." And Jesper is madly in love with him, naturally.
