Abby was glad Kate liked it, she hadn't had the chance to cook in a long time and it felt good to be able to put her skills to the test again. She sat next to Matt, handing him a bowl as well while listening to Kate.<br/><br/>"You don't need to tell me twice." Matt said, still wrapped in the blanket. He felt he could sleep for a few hours yet. When he finished eating, seeming to have inhaled his food, Matt curled up against the arm of the couch, already drifting off when Abby reached over him and tucked the blanket around him, and then collecting the dishes up.<br/><br/>Jasper didn't like the idea of leaving Kate and Abby alone. He knew they were both capable of looking after themselves but his sense of protection wouldn't keep quiet. He watched Abby tuck Matt in, and Kate move to sit next to her, his ears still swiveling to pick up any sounds.<br/><br/>"Go to sleep Jasper." Abby said, noticing the concern on her brother's face. She hoped he would listen as she turned back to Kate, listening to what she was asking. When asked if she could spell her name, Abby nodded. She had been taught a few things as a kid, including a start on her reading.<br/><br/>"I can read a little, use to know a lot more but didn't get to practice much." She admitted. She blushed a little at Kate's compliment.<br/><br/>"My mother taught me when I was little, and the cooks gave me a few pointers."
