"I don't like being left behind," And he's certain Kaz is solidly in that same boat, if not the captain of it. "But she's better for it. She never deserved this place. Not in the way you or I do."
Because honestly, Kaz's ledger may be red with blood and vengeance, but Jesper's runs red with debt and the joy he took in all he's been set to do as part of the Dregs. Inej had her Saints and a path built for her with the goal of saving others from the personal hells she had gone through. But knowing that doesn't particularly help Kaz now, and it's hardly a balm of comfort simply because they don't know what will happen back home. They have such a finite knowledge of their futures. And beyond that? It was an unknown.
"Kaz..." Jesper simply watches him fiddle with the tie. It's almost...sad, in a way. As if he's lost with no mooring. "What do you--What can I do?"
