Eva gave a small smile at Jasper's relief, just happy that she could help the woman even that little bit. It seemed she hadn't heard her apology, at least. It only saved Eva some of her own ego that she could happily lose at this point. She nodded softly when Jasper mentioned the two ways to possibly control her dragon side and armed with such knowledge, she felt a little safer in giving the dragon rider the space she might of needed to summon the dragon. When it happened, Eva seized up for a moment and just watched the dragon as she paced and came out her surroundings. At least she hadn't reacted negatively to being blind. But didn't she already know she was blind? Eva had been under the impression that the two pieces of Jasper were still connected, at least on some fundamental level, but if her dragon didn't even realize they were blind yet... The islander shivered softly. Was Jasper not in there at all now? It was her turn to swallow the massive lump forming in her throat now. If dragons weren't all that bad, she had nothing to fear, riiiight?<b><i>"Found you..."</i></b>Eva instantly shrunk at the sound behind her. This was a more docile Jasper than before, but all she could remember was the way the dragon pinned her. She reached up to rub softly at the mark on her neck before turning to face her new... friend. "Hey... Jaspah. ya got blinded by ah girl we need ta find, okay? She lives ina village about a days journey away. We'll be leavin' by sunrise. Can ya handle that?" Her confidence slowly rose with each passing word until her stance had all the wrinkles of worry pressed out of it. "When we get der, we jus' gonna<i>question</i>da girl, copa? Aye dun want anyone hurt or aye'll be upset wit ya." She attempted to set ground rules, her voice firm and unwavering despite the fast beating of her heart.
