after a long time of thought...i have decided that you have a gun point at him..or the point of your katana just out of shot xD..im writing this with the realisation i never mentioned what weapon in ym previous comment XD
hehe....he does actually look like he has fear in his face...i reckon u have some form of weapon....and u cnt see his hands...i reckon there tied down...thats why its in his mouth..and you wer abotu to beat him...but uve doen this so people are mislead while poor jester is clearly maltreated :p i read into things to much XD..lucky dude tho...even if he does get beatings :P x
