Hiii, Percy! It's Jester! Hope you're well!...Do you have a favorite dessert? Just wondering!...Also, I notice you wear a lot of cravats. Is that, like, the fashion in Tal'Dorei?
[Her voice and cadence are so distinct, Percy has to imagine Jester really doesn't need to introduce herself. Still, after he rolls his eyes, it gets a smile out of him.]
Among the nobility in Whitestone, yes. Suppose I got into the habit as a boy and wear them when it suits me.
[Not that often, he would've said. But, considering no one else between the two houses wears them at all (that he's noticed), maybe it seems like a lot.]
[Jester has a habit of noticing one detail about a person and distilling it into a defining trait. See also: Caleb being stinky. It's nothing personal.]
They're cute, I like them.
[There's a short pause before she asks, almost suspiciously:]
I think that depends on the occasion. If it's with tea, only a drizzle. There was another sort we had a few times, the cake itself was a white cake, but the frosting was light and lemony. That was one of my favorites.
[Well it seems like an important thing to Jester, so he might as well give a comprehensive answer.]

[It still hurts to think of them, but Percy doesn't think not talking about them is any better.]
Any particular reason you're inquiring?
no subject
[She picks up on the would have, and doesn't make a thing out of it but instead neatly concurs with it, and moves on.]
Oh! I just like to know what everyone likes, you know. Good information to have! Oh, and what about your wife? What does she like?

[He almost says, she married me, after all, but he his self-worth isn't nearly enough to let himself say it, even in jest.]

She married you, after all!
