Abby listened to Kate's instructions of where things were before nodding and climbing the stairs to collect the clothes and towels. She passed Matt seated on the bottom few steps, giving him a quick smile before continuing her task.<br/><br/>Jasper watched her go before tilting his head slightly to the side and listening for any dogs. Not hearing any he shook his head no but didn't let his guard down. Abby returned, her arms full just as Kate asked about her wings.<br/><br/>"No worse than usual." She shrugged as a few feathers threatened to fall. Jasper watched one come loose and float to the floor, approaching his sister as Kate asked him to tend to her.<br/><br/>Matt remained where he was with his head down. Kate had said she wasn't mad but it was his fault they were in this situation. As Kate sat down on the stairs he removed his hand from where it had been prodding at the bruise forming on his jaw. He was hesitant at showing her where else he had been hurt. He finally showed her where the guard's boot had impacted with his ribs, stomach, shins, and arms. The long run here had not helped any with the injuries and Matt winced as he agitated his aching ribs. He caught Jasper watching him, concern all over the older man's face before his gaze shifted to Kate.<br/><br/>"You weren't really going to turn me in, were you?" He asked timidly, scared of what he would hear.
