"It's alright to feel sad or disappointed that your friend wasn't around for you. You should talk to him, clear the air. He's a good guy, I'm positive he'd listen."

Jesper has many good friends and he often feels confident enough in their standing to be honest with them. If it came to that. Due to his mostly sunny personality, he rarely ends up in conflict with any of them. Mat was a rare exception because of the situation they were in. There were a few times with Kaz that he's had to push conflict. In the end, it's made them closer.

He shifts closer himself when Mat does. Instinctively mirroring him as he feels like the party who wronged so it's up to Mat to decide how he feels about this. He hasn't pulled away from Jesper's affection. Gray eyes are fixed on his face, having thought he wouldn't see it for much longer.

"It was. I'm sorry that I made it worse for you, love. But I'm here now, and you can lean on me."
