"Yeah, you won't find variety around here, the only non-humans I've seen are other Summoned." It doesn't mean they don't exist, but Jesper's never latched eyes on them. A sea of colors and faces, but not of species. Then again, where he's from that's all there is too. "I'd only ever known humans myself." Well, some people would claim his kind aren't human, but they're bad people so who cares.

"I owe them nothing, that's why I didn't join their army. They took me from a much better situation than here." Jesper tries not to linger on that, though. This is one of the rare times he'll acknowledge it. He was about to live in a mansion with the first boy he ever loved, richer than he could ever imagine. Instead, he's here.

"The faction matters if there's ever a war, though. And sometimes there is in-fighting. Not too long ago Thorne had these caskets of magic, I don't fully know what the deal was, but people from here and Solvunn were hired to go and steal them. And they did, so everyone ended up with a few." Jesper was not a part of this situation, but Inej was, so he might as well have been. "So it may end up an us or them situation. Me, I'd prefer it be us Summoned vs the bastards who ruined our lives."
