“I've seen fireballs burning from the shoulder of a Tiefling. I've drowned in water darker then the void in a sluice gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.” Jester casts spare the dying. "Aww, f*ck!"

That's why, even when she was pantomiming her interactions with Sprinkle, Jester was wigging out and Sprinkle wasn't moving, at first. She just also knows that at any point that Laura/Jester agrees with the "he's dead" joke, Matt will make it canon.

Loving the range of expressions used in this. My favourite line in this is after Jester says she gives Sprinkle a little healing spell when he looks rough and then you hear Travis in his Sprinkle voice say "she won't let me die..." XD But now all I can picture is a fireball coming right at Sprinkle and his only reaction is "oh thank god"

I don't know that she's really on Jester's side since she was also encouraging her to let Sprinkle go just in a more gentle way than Fjord. I think it's more of just how Ashley Johnson is such an animal lover and that element of her personality always bleeds into her characters.
