Hearing Kate expressing her happiness over him agreeing to help her, Jasper quickly turned to face her, fearing she would follow through with what she said. When it was clear nothing would happen, Jasper relaxed and returned his focus to the water. He was happy that Kate was happy, and simply because he was going to help her improve her fighting skills. He could once more feel the blush creeping over his face at her thanks. Jasper found himself thinking about his own fighting, remembering old techniques and tricks to use against your opponent to turn the fight in your favour. It was when Kate mentioned his wounds that Jasper returned his attention to the present. He had fought in much worse condition, and training was nothing compared to a life or death fight, but he knew Kate wanted him well and didn't want to see him injured.<br/><br/>When Kate brought up this morning Jasper tensed, ashamed for what had happened. Kate seemed to see it as a good thing, and as she explained it to him he wondered just how much she knew. He wanted to shield himself, fearing how accurate she had been in describing what he was feeling. His ears pulled flat, Jasper kept his eyes on the water, not wanting to meet Kate's just than. However, when he heard the change in her voice, he immedietly looked to her, ears up and listening carefully. When she had finished telling him of her own troubles, Jasper wanted to comfort her, hating seeing her upset. Lightly, he placed his hand over hers, his eyes full of concern.
