Jesper Fahey

 He didn't really know, still, if Helvar considered Jesper a friend but Jesper didn't begrudge him for it when he felt likewise. They were friendly, of that he was certain, but neither of them were having deep conversations and exchanging secrets. They had been on the same team but they had been spokes that revolved around Kaz's plan and they stayed in touch here because of the familiarity of a similar world. 

With Inej's disappearance, maybe it was time for that to change. 

Chess wasn't Jesper's game. It required too much thinking ahead in a way that Jesper, wired for the immediate results, couldn't easily do. Gambling was an isolated experience, peppered with immediate gratification, but it wasn't a good survival strategy. Even Jesper, incapable of leaving a bad hand, knew that. 

So he went looking for Matthias, a peace offering of coffee in his hands as he looked for his unit.
