[ Even under Riko, Jean had had not had much room to be anything but careful about what he shows, what he says. Riko had done his best to attempt to beat everything that was uniquely Jean out of him, to break him. He'd succeeded, for the most part, there were parts of Jean that remained true, his language, his will to live the subtle ways he had kept rebelling against Riko even after so many years under his thumb. Those things weren't things that were easy to show, or in this case, safe to show.
Jean's eyes follow Jasper's hand for a moment and likely he thinks if it had been Riko, the other probably would have used the cigarette to burn him by now, that'd be more interesting than smoking it in any case. He shoves the thoughts aside, he can't focus on suriving now if he's thinking about the past but Riko was really all he knew and he was trying to guage what to to expect by comparison which is hard. ]
I wouldn't say star. [ Was he anything without Riko and the Ravens? He wasn't even sure that he would be able to continue to play exy now. ] I don't know how to be a personal trainer.
[ He couldn't tell if the other had been serious or not but he tells him how it is honestly, nevertheless. He isn't sure what else to say about that so he opts for the safest reply he can think of -- maybe -- with Riko it might have been dangerous. ]
