Jasper slept peacefully for the remainder of the night. He stirred slightly at the knock on the door but didn't wake just yet, at the sound of Kate's voice and the new scent in the air his eyes opened and he stretched, taking note that in his sleep he had shifted his form not just in  the dream but also in the waking world. He twisted around to give an apologetic look to Kate when his gaze fell on the second person in the room. Freezing, Jasper's muscles tensed and his eyes locked on this new person.<br/><br/>He heard Kate explaining to this woman where he had come from and he sat up, his ears pulled back and his tail around his feet. He watched the woman, Ann, place a tray down before speaking to him. He listened to her but remained frozen next to Kate. Ann didn't seem like a threat but he couldn't trust her yet, trust was a dangerous thing when placed in the wrong places, he had learned that. People whom he had once trusted, even fellow slaves of Lord Draco and Lady Malora had turned on him when the chance arose.<br/><br/>As Ann finished Jasper looked to Kate, lost as to what he was to do. She hadn't given him any instructions or orders as to what she wanted from him and he didn't know where to go from here.
