Kaz stares at him for a long moment, pale, bare hand still on the box though he hasn't opened it. There's a trust there, even in his possessiveness to find himself starting in this place with money and those he most valued from his previous life.
That doesn't stop him from narrowing his eyes at Jesper.
"Please tell me you don't say that to anyone else but me." He knows he doesn't, but he can't help himself.
Even if he fixes Jesper with a look, all bravado and arrogance in the next moment. "You assume they could kill me." There's almost a sparkle in his eyes at that, even if his expression doesn't change.
"I don't know the small science in action personally so that shouldn't be an issue. It's learning anew and not a different form.
But any of the rest of that is gone with that pronouncement. His head cocks to give Jesper a look as if he can examine the truth out of him. Except, there's no reason for him to tell Kaz that unless it was true.
"In all that time, not once?" A brow arches. "I would ask if there's no dens here, but even then, you would find a game of some kind if you wanted it." Which is showing he knows Jesper could, even if he hasn't.
"That's a good choice on your part," he says, edging very close to a true compliment with that. "Inej has made a point of telling me that this is a place for new starts. She was speaking for my choices but I can see why she sees it as such."
