"I've met her, she definitely made me feel protective too. She's lucky to have you." Jesper was very gentle with her in a way he isn't for everyone. She just has that effect on people apparently, so he's not at all surprised. She seemed very sweet and like she was not at all prepared for this place. None of them are, but she is clearly a high born lady. Jesper went from flirty to kind in an instant. He knows better than to play with people who can't handle it.
The arm slung around him angles so he can slide his hand up and down Mat's back in a soothing gesture. After all the pain he put him through, it's difficult not to want to take it all back. To wish that they could turn back time.
He thinks Anakin is like Kaz, from what he knows of him, so he has a few guesses about that one. Jesper is typically a very communicative person, so it took awhile before he got used to that sort of personality.
"Anakin always struck me as someone who probably fears being a burden to others so he holds it all inside. It might be he's doing that with you." He's not his best friend or anything, but Jesper is usually a fairly good judge of character. "I'm sorry you've been so lonely, love. You shouldn't have to go through any of this alone."
