Jesper: I’m about to give Kaz his gift.
Inej: Oh did he lift his no-gift policy?
Jesper: No, but I figured out a way to buy him something and trick him into accepting it. He would never open a gift right? But what if his gift didn’t look like a gift?
Inej: He would open it?
Jesper, looking very pleased with himself: EXACTLY! I left it in a cardboard box on his desk. There’s no card, just the words “open now,” which I wrote with my wrong hand so he won’t recognize my handwriting.
Inej, watching Kaz walk into his office: So just to recap, you left an unmarked package on a Barrel boss’s desk on a random Monday with a suspicious message written on it that looks like it’s been scrawled on by a crazy person.
Jesper, still very proud of himself: Mhmm.
Kaz, promptly returning from his office: bOMB, THERES A BOMB. EVERYONE OUT.
Inej, not even flinching at the chaos erupting around them: Great gift, Jesper.
