Can you do wesper for 6?
6 - things you said under the stars and in the grass
“i think i want to go to ravka.”
it’s been on his mind for weeks, even months. somehow, it’s only away from ketterdam that jesper finds himself able to say it, at the edge of the farm with wylan’s head in his lap. fingers tug absentmindedly at golden curls, and it feels a million miles away from what he’s come to think of as his life.
their life.
things feel less real out here, or– maybe more vividly real than before. whatever it is, it lets him speak now and the words come out in a rushed breath, misting slightly in the night air.
“hm?” wylan blinks up at him, only half-awake. blue eyes turn darker, more luminous in the moonlight.
“ravka,” he repeats, and he can see the second wylan comes awake properly, eyes all ridiculously lit up. wylan’s been waiting for months to hear him say it. “i want to go.” there, he’s said it. deep breath. “see what it’s like.”
train, maybe. learn to use his powers properly, talk to other grisha. maybe not, but it could happen, if not soon then one day. he could visit for a while, just as a tourist, as a guest, come home, go back. one step at a time.
wylan looks delighted (of course he does, most days he’s more excited about jesper’s powers than jesper is) but somehow manages to keep his enthusiasm to a manageable level. “if that’s what you want… i think that’s really good.”
i’m proud of you.
it’s one thing to say it out there, throwing the future up to the sky and dreaming up possibilities. in three days, they’ll be back in ketterdam. jesper doesn’t know how he’s going to feel about it then, if he’ll even keep the nerve to see it through.
he’d like to try.
send me a ship and a number
