"Yeah? I'll keep that in mind. I think it's a bit too late tonight to practice." He was starting to feel the lull of exhaustion hitting him.
What could he compel Jesper to do? Hopefully, nothing that he wouldn't freely give otherwise but the implications were there. He's just glad that Jesper was willing to help him learn and practice.
"I am." He nods, before he moves to settle back down into the bed, looking up at the other boy. "I met a man named Caleb. He and his-" traveling companion "-friend Essek have been teaching me. Caleb says he's a wizard."
"Getting tired?" He asks though it's drawn out in a bit of a yawn. Excitement had a way of either making you too wired to even think of sleep or leaving you wanting to crawl into bed.
"I met Caleb...on the island. No idea he had a friend here." Though that pause was...interesting. Something to ask about later. As it was, it seemed they were both hearing the siren's call of rest.
He settles back down in the bed, before patting the space next to him. "Come on, you can show me more of this in the morning."
"A little." He admits, grateful that he's not the only one.
He waits until Jesper settles back into bed before he scoots close and cuddles into him. This was nice. This was what he wanted but he knew that it would take time. He sighs happily before he glances up at Jesper with a weary smile.
"His friend is new." He pauses. "Came after the island. ....but you met Caleb? He's pretty cool." He yawns again. "You can tell me more about that in the morning."

For now? He just wants to try for sleep.
