Jasper listened to Kate, his eyes closed as he focused on her instead of everything else. He wasn't ready for all this. He wasn't ready to give up everything, even the bad. He knew he should, it would help him heal, but it was part of him. As Kate spoke he concentrated on the memories she was recalling. They were so much different from everything else, so much lighter.<br/><br/>Looking to Kate, Jasper met her eyes, expressing his fear and worry. He knew he could trust Kate, she wouldn't make him do anything if it would hurt him. Slowly he nodded.<br/><br/>"Okay, I'll do it." He still don't a little hesitant but he wasn't shaking as badly as he had been now.<br/><br/><br/>Abigail didn't get a helpful answer from the paintings. Grumbling something about useless paintings and old grumpy men, Abigail once more took off down the hallway. She was panicking, she had lost Matt and it was eating away at her. She found she was back outside Kate's door and slid down the wall where the two of them had dozed off earlier. Placing her head in her hands, Abigail felt the tears running down her face.<br/><br/><br/>Clutching the thin cloak close to him, Matt wondered not for the first time why he was doing this. Was it to prove a point? Maybe. Or was he just a little too wound up and needed to do something outside of stone walls to relax? That was more likely. He didn't remember how he had gotten out but now that he was he wished he hadn't. The wind blew snow in his face, momentarily blinding him. When he cleared his face with his sleeve, he had just enough time to slip around a corner as two guards stalked by. Matt thought he recognized them, but didn't risk getting any closer in case they were Malora's guard.<br/><br/>Scaling the side of a store, Matt perched on the roof, legs dangling over the edge as he watched the carriages roll past. He had day dreamed before of what it would be like to be one of those people. Not having to worry about where your next meal was coming from or if you would get through the day without a beating. Upon learning that that may very well be true, Matt was having a hard time understanding what that meant for him now.
