As Kate approached, young Jasper locked his gaze on her, his ears flattening. Jasper felt him tense and turned to see Kate. The younger watched Kate, skepticism all over his face as he listened to her, his ears pricking up slightly as he listened and relaxed in his older self's arms. He felt this was some sort of magic, being able to be with his future self, while being with someone he would end up meeting. It was both confusing and unsettling. He didn't know much about magic or how it worked, but he couldn't help but wonder if this meeting would cause problems in the future. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind, but before he could voice it, a hand was on his head and he was flinching away. Jasper felt this and looked down in concern, only to see that Kate was healing him. He knew the reaction well, eyes closed, waiting for the strike that never came with Kate.<br/><br/>Leaning on his older self, young Jasper couldn't believe what he was being told. When he had been taken away from his mother he hadn't thought he would ever get away. Seeing his older self though, it meant he wasn't going to die in the pits as he had feared since being told he was going to be a pit fighter, but it did nothing to lessen the tension and fear he had. When Kate hugged them, young Jasper inhaled sharply but soon calmed, soaking in the warmth and affection, too early in his training to have blocked out his craving for it. Soon his previous thought came back, looking up to his older self, he tilted his head to the side slightly.<br/><br/>"Is Abi safe? Do we see her again?" He asked hopefully. Jasper didn't know how to answer, he still didn't know who Abigail was, assuming that was who Abi was. Confusion, and a hint of panic crossed his face as he quickly looked to Kate, hoping she could help.
