"A really good year," Jesper confirms. It was actually painful when he woke up with it and found himself in this terrible situation, still hurting from heartache, trying to take care of all the people he loved. There was a time when he first arrived and a year with someone seemed very unlikely, but then he met Mat. And now this. "He abdicated and she was elected or something, very insane, to be honest. We went on a mission together before all that happened."
So they went on a mission with the King and Queen of Ravka! Strangest experience in retrospect. But obviously. This other part is more important. And awkward. Jesper sighs and drops his hand down away from Wylan and rubs it across his jaw instead.
"Yes. Kaz Brekker. Also ... Inej in emotional terms, technically." By that he means they haven't had sex but they have kissed and Jesper feels she is on par with his other lovers because the romantic connection is there. "They're also a thing, obviously." Something very well known to all of them. His piece in it is just new. Jesper doesn't know how much they've done, but it doesn't matter.
"I love them. Just as I love you." There is nothing more sincere in that moment than the look on Jesper's face and the intensity of his gaze. "And I know you are not where I am that way, I had a year, remember, but it's still the truth. My heart is just something I've been sharing for a time."
