Jasper watched Kate remove the handkerchief and give it to him. He had never had something like this presented to him before. He could remember hearing stories of knights being given a lady's favour, but those had always been fairy tales and stories spun by bored servants as they worked. Holding the fabric in his hand, Jasper looked to Kate, a mix of confusion, and a bit of gratitude crossing his face.<br/><br/>He was glad for the change in subject, though it wasn't one he was anymore content with. His ears lowered slightly when Kate guessed at why he hadn't answered her previous question on enchantments. Jasper was glad that Kate was happy being with him, his fear of being a burden lessened a bit, but remained nonetheless. When Kate said he was relieved of duty, Jasper tried to object but decided against it and remained silent. He remained in his human form, but remained where he was, unsure of what he should do. The conflict between what he had been trained to do, and what Kate had taught him to do kept him from making any decisions. Meeting Kate's eyes, he silently asked for help, not trusting himself to do so vocally.
