The month seemed to fly by for Jasper and Mala, the young child more focused on her studies then ever before. It was to a point that Jasper had to get the training mats a lot sooner then she had planned. Mala had started to practice when ever she had a free moment, she had gained her mothers drive to be the very best in fencing. Mala had even started hinting that she wanted to start taking dance class with Pearl, the child had all but fallen in love with the thin teacher. Jasper couldn’t even complain, Pearl was sweet, kind and gentle. But still had enough back home to correct unruly children without making a huge show out of it. Jasper had started to enjoy spending the extra time with Pearl while Mala took to her more private lessons which only happened when Jasper came to watch.<br/><br/>But it seemed fate had other plans for the duo, Jasper had come down with a serious chest inflammation that caused her nothing but issues. The doctor had put her on medical leave until they could find out just what was going on with her  it meant Jasper hadn’t been able to teach her classes or take Mala to her fencing classes either, she had started to pay her sister Amethyst to take Mala  back and fourth to school. Jasper had gotten a sub for her classes and gone on immediate bed rest. Mala was not happy, amethyst didn’t have the time to take Mala to her classes so they were left to the way side. Jasper knew she would have to make up for it some how.<br/><br/>When her cell phone rang Jasper groaned and rolled over planning to ignore it, but Mala answered and instantly Jasper regretted her answer. The child got excited to talk to her teacher, how had Pearl gotten her number? It didn’t matter, what mattered was Mala had invited the woman over and Pearl had even said yes. Now Jasper was going to have to function? That was not in the game plan for the sick giantess.<br/><br/>When Mala heard the knock at the door she ran down the hall and smiled, Opening the door all the way without a second thought and hugging Pearls legs. “You come! I didn’t think you really would!” pulling the woman in as she shut the door.<br/><br/>The apartment was huge, a large open concept loft space. The kitchen full stocked with modern appliances that looked like they had never been used, a living room with a giant seventy inch tv screen and large black fabric sectional couch. The entire right was nothing hut giant bay windows that looked out over the city, giant curtains on each side to block out the sun when needed. At the back where five rooms, two bed rooms both large inside, a huge bathroom room, Mala training room and a large storage room.<br/><br/>Mala smiled as she lead the woman to the kitchen, the house was modern with light great walls, black appliances with white cabinets. Everything was relatively clean, Jasper not one to be a neat freak but not a soon either. Looking up at Pearl all Mala could do was smile “Mama is still in bed, she only comes out to use the wash room and pay for take out” the aforementioned take out box stacked on top of the kitchen table, Jasper knew she could eat what ever she wanted with how hard she trained and Mala never seemed to gain a pound with how active she was.
