Well, you two definitely had a vibe in our more recent adventure. It's been about three years since the Fold went down?

[ Jesper decides not to add the Zoya being queen now apparently because honestly it's mostly hearsay in Ketterdam and he doesn't know how it all went down. And Nikolai might not even be from that timeline, so it could be a fun story for a later time. Not him being in a new place out of no where. ]

And believe me, I know vibes.

[ Jesper smiles at him, mischief in his eyes. And utter confidence since everyone who knows him, especially here, knows that Jesper really does have a sense for romantic interests. It might even be a supernatural ability of his, or just a natural talent.]

How's Thorne so far? I've got some friends there, have they warned you about the politics? Though I suppose that's very typical for you.
