He was still trying to get use to the whole, choosing what he did, so when Kate asked him what he would like to do tomorrow, Jasper didn't have an answer. He had forgotten about the Winter Ball. With everything that had happened, the thought of another crowd of people had been pushed away. He could feel his nervousness rising up again and tried to push that away too as he listened to Kate talk of the events to take place.<br/><br/>Jasper was glad the evening was fairly quiet. While the family relaxed, Jasper found himself watching the fire and thinking. His thoughts always went back to his old mistress and what should would have done during a time like this. He knew for sure that he would have been chained at her feet, likely in his Savannah form, while she spoke with some visiting lord or lady. He could remember too many nights being brought to their rooms, having paid Malora prior. It always made him wonder why it was things like this that he remembered. Surely there had been something before this all?<br/><br/>He was pulled from his thoughts when Kate turned to him. Lifting his gaze to meet hers briefly, he thought about what she asked. Kate wasn't like Malora, he had to stop comparing them. Shifting into his Savannah form, he carefully moved closer to Kate, chasing away his past thoughts the best he could as he tried to be in the present.
