As soon as Jasper's ears picked up on the growl he had bolted upright. This woke both Matt and Abby who didn't have much time to protest or complain before they were hauled up and told to run. Abby, knowing about the previously decided upon escape route pulled Matt towards the back of the cave. Jasper watched them go before turning his attention to Kate, he was not leaving her alone  with a bear. Baring his fangs, Jasper watched closely as Kate used a spell to shrink the bear down. As the shrunken bear scurried after them, Jasper hissed at it, his ears pulled back and his tail whipping behind him. The bear thankfully had enough sense to back off, but Jasper still kept a watchful eye over his shoulder as the group made their way out.<br/><br/>"That was too close, no more caves for --" Abby stopped when she caught sight of the guards surrounding them. When he spotted Malora among them Jasper's ears remained flat and a low growl rumbled in his chest as he pushed Abby behind him and stood beside, but slightly ahead of Kate and Matt. His entire attitude simply dared his old mistress to lay a hand on any of them.
