JESPER // @fabrikctor
❝ jesper . ❞ he was not expecting his voice to sound so low . it reverberated in his head as though it belonged to someone else , although the boy had an inkling that it was due to the ringing in his head , the familiar hubbub of the streets of the lid that they’d left behind now that they were on black veil ( although it was the kind of noise you couldn’t easily unhear ) && worse , the sound of his father’s words still fresh && replaying in his mind while drowning out most of his environment . it all came back into focus when he reached out to touch the sharpshooter’s arm , hoping that at least the contact alone would bring some form of solace . the way back to fifth harbour on the longboat had somehow been longer this time , wylan had been trying to catch jesper’s eye but everything that he could think of saying sounded way too wrong , or not enough . && even so , he supposed this was not a conversation to be had in the presence of others , much less kaz && matthias . still , now they were alone && he couldn’t feel any more pathetic than when he realised that the only words he could make any sense of after this whole ordeal would fail to capture what he’d wished he could say every day for a week leading up to this .
❝ i’m sorry ❞

@fabrikctor said : “I am glad you lied for me.” :: meme
"Don't make a habit of it, gorgeous." She dropped her arm from his, putting distance between them again. "There's a reason the cards hate you; you're a terrible bluff." He wasn't that bad a liar, but she was skilled in reading tells, microexpressions. It was going to get him shot one day; lucky he was a quick draw, or he'd probably already be dead. "Oh-" she tossed him the bag of coins she'd liberated from his ‘friend’, quite a bit lighter than it had been. "Might wanna take care of a couple of those debts. I won't be around to save you every time."

❝ jesper— ❞ inej held a hand up in an attempt to stop him from running his mouth any further. she savoured the silence for a few moments & then heaved a sigh, fingertips rubbing the temples of her head. ❝ you’ve been confusing since the day I met you. ❞

❛ listen Jesper , I might have gone against all my morals , betrayed my people , my country . I might have broken into the ice court . knocked out the man who raised me after I LOST MY PARENTS . . . I did a lot of things I thought as IMPOSSIBLE but what I will not do is tell you where Wylan is and what he is doing . I will not betray Wylan , I guess you have to be patient . ❜

SHE DIDN'T WANT TO SMILE, BUT THE SIDE OF HER LIPS GOT THE BETTER OF HER. she wished he was less predictable - at least give her some reason to use her skillsets as she set out to follow him. instead, he was a cat to the cream, constantly needing to find a thrill. she had never been like that as if her memoir had given her enough excitement for a lifetime. she moved to the tables effortlessly, HAPPILY INVISIBLE ACROSS THE NOISE. instead, she paused right behind her wandering companion, bending at the knee and resting her mouth by his ear.
the stakes were against him ( LIKE THEY ALWAYS WERE) and the table was about to drown him. she looked across the table at the big-pocket travelers before looking back at him. ❝ how do you get yourself out of this? ❞

[ yell ]
" ELVIRA! " she'd never heard him yell like that before. it was a violent , startling sound on the ears -- she did not like it. but it was better for him to had yelled at her to calm down rather than let her temper go aflame and burn the whole place to the ground. she reaches her hand to her face , covering it for just a moment. " ... thank you. i just ... needed a moment. " elvira looks to the sharpshooter with a gentle expression as if embarrassed about her behavior ; it was unfortunate that he had to see that.

jesper had been wrong . in fact , the tally was quite balanced for everyone at this point . they’d been wrong about the extent of his education due to the pricey tutors they liked to bring up every time his intelligence was brought into question but more importantly , jesper had been wrong about his usefulness as a translator . or , according to the sharpshooter , the lack thereof . granted , classroom ravkan was worlds different from spoken ravkan && the more wylan tried to focus on identifying distinct words from entire strings of foreign ones vocalised in the strong && fast-paced native drawl of east ravkans , the harder it became to keep up . still , the gist of it was not lost on him . it was also worth mentioning that , when asking to be pointed in the direction of a coal merchant , a swift hand motion that vaguely waved towards the location they sought sufficed . they obtained the coal , with money yet to spare , && the merchling had to admit that this made it hard for him to contain his gratification . it was short-lived , however , when the sound of coins rolling && the commotion of people gathered around a table reached him . he turned to meet the source of the racket just as jesper did too . he was well familiar with that glint in the sharpshooter’s eyes .
❝ no . jesper , you can’t . you know what kaz said && if he finds out i let you do this . . . ❞

the residents of ketterdam had become something like friends over the years, after their excursion through the fold, after everything they had done for alina, for her.... she knew they were the type she could count on, should anything ever arise. and of course, the same could be said about zoya herself. if inej or jesper called on her, she’d be there. KAZ? well, he still had some manners to be taught, but truth be told, if he wanted her as well, she’d be there. the zemeni sharpshooter, he was the one who nearly always put a smile on the grisha’s face. he had some talent for lightening a mood when it seemed as though all it attracted were dark clouds. there was jesper, with his comments and stories, always ready to cheer her up, whenever she was lucky enough to find herself in his company. little did she know about the little secret which had remained hidden throughout their odd little friendship. “ you know you could have been living at the little palace. “ her brows raised at the suggestion, that the realisation that they could have been friends before now, they could have known one another before that faithful day crossing the fold. “ you didn’t want to be TRAINED? to make the most out of what you can do? “ ━━ ✦ @fabrikctor // jesper.

‘ i can’t fathom how you do it. ‘ they hadn’t parted ways just yet, and, given that she’d failed to make decent observations of the people around her at the little palace, she was determined not to make the same mistake again. jesper. sharpshooter. frighteningly accurate. she could summon light, but she was hopeless with any sort of gun. ‘ where did you learn to shoot? ‘

he was the brightest of them all, in such a fun, happy sense of the word. he was light, and there was an air that surrounded him that made her feel at ease. jesper and the others had stepped up when they’d needed to, they had defended her, defended novokribirsk from the darkling’s intentions, or at least they had tried and that made a difference to alina in every way. her lips pursed together for just a moment before she managed a small smile, her cloak wrapped around her a little tighter. “ i didn’t get a chance to say THANK YOU. “ they deserved her thanks. they had risked their lives and for them to do that for perfect strangers, there was something good and whole about that. despite what their initial intentions were. the thought had crossed her mind over what might have happened if they had succeeded in their job at the fête. if they had taken her back to ketterdam with them, if they had received their payment for a job well done. what would have happened to her? to be sold like a slave, some grisha to be used on a whim? “ they mean something to you, don’t they? kaz and inej? like me and mal... “ ━━ ✦ @fabrikctor // jesper.

kaz brekker starter // requsted by @fabrikctor
they have been -.. friends -- for some time. long has the leader of the crows resisted thinking of anyone as friends, a soft spot, a weakness. but the time for his prejudices against gentleness and decency seem antiquated now. they have nearly died together too many times to count, too many close scrapes and plans that were thrown together almost too quickly and poorly to really be a plan. but there’s confidence in knowing that despite efforts on his part, he isn’t alone. jesper has come up from his father’s place to visit, with inej gone -- despite being busier than ever, kaz finds things emptier than he’d like. the fullness he’d had before seemed hollow now. and such thoughts have him almost becoming sentimental, ‘ would it be a visit from jesper fahey without me paying off at least one of your gambling debts? ‘ there is the faintest lift at the corner of his mouth, a brow quirked watching his friend. ‘ but it seems perhaps luck has changed. now comes the hard part, walking away while you’re up --.. ‘ gambling has never been a vice that kaz had, but -- when jesper rose, he was proud. ‘ i’ve got something to discuss with you. ‘
