Vesper sets his jaw, fists clenching at his sides before he forces himself to relax. "I ain't that small a fry either, y’know. I’m a demigod, too." His voice is quiet but threaded with a stubborn edge that's all youth and testosterone, the matchstick still flicking back and forth between his fingers. "And yeah, I know Melita's stronger right now—but it ain’t just that Nova's Safrin's kid factorin' in is all I mean." And they both knew that if push came to shove, Safrin was more than petty enough to fight Ludo on her family's behalf, and to do a whole lot worse had Melita actually killed Nova.
Vesper draws in a measured breath, taking Jack's shoulder-clap for what it is: understanding, agreement, or something like it. ""Alright," he murmurs, expression cooling a fraction. "I appreciate it." For a moment, Vesper stands there, tension roiling under his skin. Then, with a huff, he snags a deck of cards from his coat pocket, absently riffling them against his palm. Watching Jack head toward the Honeybee, Vesper too steps away, rifling the cardds into a practiced shuffle as he heads back toward his sisters.
