fjord and jester's communication is literally so beautiful... im always so surprised and moved by fjord's ability to say the right thing to allow her space to open up, to prompt her without prying, the way he's always silently saying 'i'm here if you need me.' completely knowing she has emotional depth but also that her cheerful and silly disposition isn't just some lie or mask. her demeanor is who she is and it's not mutually exclusive with having deep thoughts and difficult feelings. idk he just gives her so much space to be a whole person from the very beginning where i think the rest of tmn can view her a little one-dimensionally. he's also so intuitive and knows exactly when to shift the conversation to something light or funny, which is a skill they share, so they both understand and don't need to minimize it as pure deflection.
