Jasper's ears flattened when he realized Kate had heard him. He listened to Kate saying that it would take time for anything to be clear. He knew this, but still he was frustrated. He was being patient, and all it seemed to do was to make things harder, especially now that he couldn't even figure this out. He could feel tears forming, more from anger at himself than anything else, and he quickly blinked them away.<br/><br/>He was glad for the distraction of the turn coming up. Following Kate's instructions, Jasper stopped the horse when they got to roughly the same place as the last time. Loosening his grip on the reins, Jasper unclenched his fists and let his one hand drop to his lap. The other quickly wiped at his eyes, removing the tears that remained. He let out a small huff, his ears still flat as he kept his gaze forward, not wanting Kate to read him as she had come to do, much like everyone else. He knew it was pointless, she would read his feelings nonetheless.
