His fingers continue toying with the hairtie, but his eyes follow Jesper from where he'd entered the room and along the path he takes to the bed, where he perches– close, but not close. Not yet. He isn't sure if he can, and Kaz knows it. It's a smart decision because even he doesn't know how it might have made him feel if that had been the first reaction. Things are... slowly shifting into something else between them, have been for months, but... Kaz is still who he's always been. And something that's left him reeling and raw makes it even easier to sink back into the distant way he's always had about him.
But something does release inside his chest at Jesper being here. Small. Miniscule in the grander vice grip in his chest, but it's something. "Nope," he mutters with a sigh, eyes back on his fingers motions. "She won't remember anything, if Nina's disappearance and re-appearance is anything to judge by... She'll just go back like nothing happened."
It's easier, he thinks, to try to stay clinically detached right now. Jesper is one of the only people he might let something real filter through and he doesn't want to do that right now.
