Jasper listened to what Kate said, returning his gaze to his sister who returned his own worried expression with her own. He heard Kate ask if he and Abigail would like to stay at the school. In truth, he had grown use to being near Kate the majority of the time and wasn't sure how he felt about staying in a place away. Part of him felt betrayed, though he knew this wasn't true. Kate was simply looking out for him, and now his sister as well.<br/><br/>Abigail watched her brother as Kate spoke, not looking away even as she addressed her. The idea of getting to be with her little brother was too good to be true, but if what this mage said was true, and that she did in fact care for Jasper she supposed she could trust her for now. She didn't know about staying at the manor, but they would have to take things one step at a time.<br/><br/>"Thank you Kate...again." Jasper said, turning to her. He wondered how he would ever repay her for everything she had done and was doing. Abigail took this as a chance to make her own comment.<br/><br/>"Jasper seems to trust you so I will, for now." She narrowed her eyes slightly at Kate, silently adding that she would not be against revoking her statement.
