"I trusted you to be able to take care of them--that's what you do. You look after us...Wish you'd let us look after you, too." At the end of the day that's what it all boiled down to. Kaz was someone they could rely on, believe in. And he believed in them all the same, but he never really let them take the weight off his shoulders either.
Jesper sinks back into the couch, a weariness settling into his very bones. They could still fight it out--depending on how things progressed another argument or a true match of blows could still arise, but for now, it was nothing more than a dull simmer. Something that always underlined their disagreements.
"That's the hardest part, learning to live with it and move past it...If it's something we can move past." But that part, that part was in Kaz's hands. Jesper was willing to put the work in, but Kaz had to be willing to not bury it completely too.
