i’m guessing you missed me from the life threatening hug you just gave me—

﹠ꥌ꯭ ⸙꯭꠩ @snatchinthief ︱ nothing's ever boring when you're part of the dregs. [he admits this with a small smile, though the fondness woven in between the lines comes across in large waves. more often than not, his days were split between rushed heists and aggressive fights that ended in slow recoveries. such a busy and thrilling schedule gave him the slightest reprieve from the loneliness that threatened to devour and consume him whole.] /but/...! i did miss seeing your pretty face! that has to count for something, no? [really, it all boiled down to the fact that there was a limited number of people in the barrel with whom he could speak as freely. lenaya, despite and perhaps because of the circumstances in which they had met, had quickly wormed her way into that limited list. (to admit such, however, was an idea that jesper would rather not come within a ten-foot radius of.) when he sees her pull out a hat, such fondness grows even more evident.] you, of all people, got me something? [it's fragile, the voice he asks this in. softness, raw and unfiltered, fixes itself across his face momentarily.] i might just cry, love! / sorry for the late reply..!

@thirdcorvus ( . . . ) [ a grin formed on her features as she observed the sharpshooter . she would never admit it , but she had missed him like hell . but lenaya had to admit that she hadn’t expected the hug — she wasn’t used to receiving them . it was . . . nice . ] were things really that boring without me ? [ it had only been a few months since she left but it felt like years . the telepathic thief smirked , eyes lighting up with their usual mischief . ] oh love , there are / always / new girls and boys . I have to keep myself entertained somehow , don’t I ? [ she teased , before shrugging her shoulders . ] travelled quite a bit . stole quite a bit— oh , which reminds me. . . [ the blonde revealed a deep plum purple hat , dangling it playfully in front of his face . ] . . . I saw this and thought of you . / love you too ! < 3

﹠ꥌ꯭ ⸙꯭꠩ @snatchinthief ︱ is it that obvious? [call him a fool that's hungry for touch and affection, or a man driven by emotion⸺ either one was right to some large extent. nonchalance has never been jesper's forte, and he has no intent to start picking it up now.] cut me some slack! you were gone for far too long. [long enough for jesper to start worrying, at the very least. to see the thief standing in one piece before him allowed him to breathe a little more freely, to see the world with more vibrant colours than it had yesterday.] tell me all 'bout where you've been. any new boys-- girls-- people? / love you!
