Jasper listened to Kate explaining the game while continuing to watch them. It sounded bizarre to him, but he made no comment. In a way it was sort of like fighting, but less deadly, and instead of reputation and counts, you were given simple bragging rights.<br/><br/>When she mentioned that she skated, Jasper turned his attention to back to her. When the sleigh stopped and Kate got out, Jasper watched her, suspicious of what she was doing. At her order to get out, he did as he was told, looking to the ground as he stepped into the snow. He soon lifted his gaze back to Kate to try to follow with what she was doing. He watched her make a ball out of the snow before throwing it at the carriage door. His eyes quickly went from the spot where it had hit and back to Kate. When she told him to hit her, he had to make sure he had heard right. Yes, he had just watched her make a snowball and hit the carriage with it, but hitting another person? It didn't sound like a good idea to him.<br/><br/>He looked to Kate, searching her face for any sign that she was joking, but he found none. Slowly, he scooped up some snow and formed it into a ball as he had seen Kate do. Holding the snowball, he looked to Kate again, still not sure he should do this. Confusion and worry were evident on his face as he tried to do what Kate had told him, even though it went against what he knew to be right. The struggle of following orders was contradicting itself. He was not suppose to hit anyone outside of the arena, unless in self defense or for protection of another. And here Kate was asking him to hit her with the snow.<br/><br/>He knew if he didn't throw it Kate would be disappointed, so his only other option was to do so. Before he could overthink it anymore than he had, he quickly aimed and threw the snowball, hitting Kate just below the ribs. As soon as it impacted Jasper was ready to apologize, worry and fear in his eyes as he watched Kate for her reaction.
