Jasper couldn't remember being around other mages, apart from minor occurrences when an injury couldn't heal on its own or with medicine. He shook his head no to Kate's question, not feeling it necessary to go into details. He recalled what his younger self had said about Abi, searching his newly found memories for this long lost sister.<br/><br/>On the way to the mage castle, Jasper was quiet, thinking over what he had lost. Much of it was prior to his training, going back to his childhood and the time spent with both his mother and sister. When the sleigh stopped Jasper looked up at the stones, hesitant to enter and be in the domain of the mages. When Kate took his hand he tried to stop his shaking somewhat, but still felt his grip tighten a little. As Kate spoke the words to open the door, Jasper's ears lay flat and remained so as they walked past the classrooms and into the great hall.<br/><br/>As the pair approached, the Arch-Mage paused in his reading. Waiting until Kate spoke, he closed the book and ceased the levitation so he could approach the pair.<br/><br/>"Greetings Katherine, to what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked, casting an eye over Jasper as he spoke before looking back to the young mage.<br/><br/>"And who is your companion, I don't believe we've met."<br/><br/>Jasper watched the figure carefully, watching for any signs of trouble. He was completely on edge and tense, feeling this man's gaze fall on him for a few moments.
