They've figured out what I'm doing with the corecloth. They're offering to pay me for it. For now. But I think we all know that they'll force me if they have to.
[ Like throwing them into the crater, they'll use their resources. This has actually been a few of Jesper's since he first arrived in Abraxas, and there is an inevitability around it since he started making clothes that way. For the Summoned only, but more recently with some of their clothes, as they altered their fashion enterprise to fit the need for protections.
It was always a risk and he took it. They just had a reason to force it now.]
[ There's a long pause between Jesper's message and Hilda's reply. It's difficult for her to say how she feels about this exactly. Not because she's concerned for her own well-being or their business becoming tied up with the government, but because she's worried about Jesper.
Men have always been a source of headache and Jesper it seems has joined that group. It's some time later that she responds, needing to take time to think about her response and to not respond with a knee jerk reaction. ]
[ If it's his safety, if it's going into prison or the mines, he might stubbornly do that for awhile until he can't handle it and give in. If they threaten Hilda or their business, he'll do it right away. He has several weak points that can be leaned on. ]
If I'm stuck in this position, I think it'd be better to be paid for it. Maybe we can be richer than Jaskier. Now that's worth striving for.
[ This is Jesper trying to joke when he doesn't feel like joking. It's strained and forced for certain, but he always tries. He's trapped, like he was always afraid of being.]
