Jasper could feel the blush on his cheeks at Kate's words, hoping he could pass it off as being from the cold. It only returned when Ann hugged him, he wasn't use to praise of any sort apart from when he won a fight, and even then it mostly went to his master and mistress. As she mentioned Abby and Matt, Jasper tried to look around her, wanting to know that they were safe.<br/><br/>He ducked his head when Ann kissed his cheek, leaning more into Kate's hold as his ears lowered in embarrassment. He perked up a little when he saw the others, verifying that they were alright. He was glad when the attention shifted to Kate, taking it off of him for the time being. However, this feeling was short lived when Lord Lyons himself confronted him. He sent a quick look to Matt who simply waved with that impish smile of his on his face, before turning to face Lyons.<br/><br/>"It was nothing, really." Jasper admitted, and it was true. For the most part he had simply been acting on instinct.
