Jasper listened to what Lord Lyons said, trying not to flinch or show any disfavour towards his previous mistress when it was brought up. He knew he was young to have been released from the fights, but he also knew he was lucky to still be alive as fighters twice his age had met their ends in the same place he had fought countless times. Jasper kept his eyes down in typical, and expected, slave behaviour as the Lord explained that he wanted to know him better. As he often was with Kate, Jasper was confused as to how this family treated their slaves, wanting to know them? It was unheard of. A Lord didn't care as long as the job was done.<br/><br/>When Lord Lyons expressed that he was going to figure out what to do with him, Jasper's shoulders and back tensed, expecting the worse, though he was torn between how Kate had treated him, and still as to what he was use to. His ear twitched as the Lord assured his daughter of his safety.<br/><br/>As his head was turned, Jasper closed his eyes against the harsh sunlight until they had adjusted. Remaining as still as he could under the Lord's examination, not believing his statement of not liking this either. When Lord Lyon removed his hand, Jasper slowly rose as he had been told. Falling into old habits, he fell behind the three paces and waited, ready to follow as ordered. His mind was scattered though. Having come from where he was, to being with Kate and her completely different treatment, to once more serving a master who acted as such, he was holding onto his ingrained training as the only constant, though even that had been tested.
