In that case, Ned is glad that Jesse's brief flash of anger at him earlier had only been that. "That sounds hard. I mean, with mine, I'm sort of used to it, you know? It's easy to not touch things." At least, if you are Ned it is. That's what twenty years of practice will do. "But it's not easy to not feel things. Plus, if I slip up the worst that could happen is some unwanted snapdragons."
And that? That is glorious. Ned's used to much, much worse consequences.
When Jesse asks if he's run into anyone else out here, Ned can't help it: he bursts out laughing. Jesse may notice a tiny sliver of hysteria, in that laugh.
"I can't believe I'm actually saying this sentence, but last night I was kidnapped by what I'm fairly certain was some kind of a dragon." Again, he laughs that just-this-side-of-unhinged laugh. It's either think about how funny it sounds now and laugh or remember how traumatic it felt then and cry. "So... that's a first. Never been tied up next to a pile of shiny things before."
"What about you? You know what Kenzi's turned into?" Because Galen and Jesse and Kenzi are all friends, so he assumes Jesse will know, and he's kind of curious.
