Abigail  had discovered many new things about her brother. For one, he was easily spooked and cautious. A few times she had placed a hand on his shoulder from behind to get his attention and had retracted her hand at his quick pull away. She had also discovered that he never missed a thing. His ears constantly twitched and his eyes followed her around the room, keeping watch over her even when she felt perfectly fine.<br/><br/>When she heard the knock on the door, Abigail had felt Jasper tense next to her. They had been sitting next to each other, Abigail had one arm around him as he placed his head on her shoulder. It was a position both of them were familiar with, having done something similar many times in their childhood. Of course, both had grown significantly since than, Jasper having shot up to stand almost a head taller than Abigail. Moving away from Jasper, Abigail went to the door and prepared to deal with whoever was on the other side. Opening it she saw Kate and opened it enough for the mage to enter.<br/><br/>Turning to watch her come in, Abigail saw Jasper perk up and seem to relax. Secretly she had begun to resent the mage for the sole reason that she seemed to have a better relationship with Jasper than she did.
