Eva misjudged Jasper's eagerness to do as she was told as nothing more than a need to get chained up before something bad happened. Though the thought of the woman's dragon blood having chosen her was still on her mind, even as Jasper made the last few adjustments and applied all the shackles to her limbs. The islander stepped away from the dragon rider, letting her test the restraints, if she wanted to. Hopefully with her added heating help, they were made that much stronger and they had nothing to worry about. The islander just had to watch over her for a week as well as take care of her own injuries. Still, it was grating at her mind; the fact that Jasper lied to her and she knew about it. Logically, she could see why and Jasper was right. Eva didn't have any interest in mating with someone who had dragon blood, but she was also conflicted due to the fact that she just... liked the woman's company. Jasper was the first equal she'd had in some time and she missed being able to touch someone. As the dragon rider plopped down in the dirt, Eva gathered up her book, blanket, and pillow. "Yeah... Aye... Aye definitely t'ink ta'night aye'll go sleep outside fer now. Ya can have some alone time and aye won't botha ya by bein' around, testin' ya hormones n' wat not." The islander left a small basket of food in reaching distance for the dragon rider before exiting the cave and rolling out her bed outside.<br/><br/>The sun was starting to set when they got to the cave and now that everything was settled, it was just starting to get dark. Eva had managed at least another hour of scouring that book for more answers on Jasper and their situation. She only got far enough to confirm dragons really did only pick mates once in their life, and a few other details. The islander sighed and collapsed onto her blanket, staring up at the bits of stars she started seeing peeking through the heavy forest canopy. This whole situation was rather messed up. Jasper was born with dragon blood in her, but Eva had been through enough with the woman even before learning she was Draconian that she held no animosity towards her specifically. And yet, still the thought of possibly being bound to her<i>because</i>she was a dragon made her skin crawl. She wanted to like Jasper, perhaps even more than a friend, but she couldn't forgive her ancestors for what they did to her people. Eva shifted to her side and curling up, shivering softly as those same vivid memories of that night came back to her. She rubbed the tears from her eyes, but knew the task was pointless due to her hot skin evaporating the tears before they even had a chance to form. Unable to even cry for her fallen people, she attempted to fall asleep; letting Jasper do whatever the hell she wanted for the night, so long as she stayed chained to those rocks.
