Jasper knew someone would come after him, but he had hoped it would have taken a little longer. His ears remained pinned against his skull as he heard Kate approach. He felt her hold him, not fighting it, but not moving from his curled position either. He felt himself relax as she hummed, not saying anything just yet. He felt tears slip down his cheeks as Kate spoke and quickly brushed the back of his hand over them. He had grown soft. Before if he had failed in something he wouldn't have acted in such a way, but then, he had also been punished for such a thing.<br/><br/>Maybe teaching the others how to fight would be a good thing, keep him in practice and give him something familiar to do. He would have to ask Kate if he could continue to train. He knew she didn't want him fighting anymore, but he needed something to let all the frustration, anger, even fear out. He had never been able to express himself in any other way, and the consequences were showing in his inability to do so now.<br/><br/>" 'm sorry Kate, I didn't mean to break it." Jasper apologized, still not meeting her eyes even as he got up a little shakily. He looked to the entry way to the kitchen before dropping his gaze to the floor. What would Abby and Matt think? They had seen it all.<br/><br/>"I'm sorry." He muttered again, voice low as he spoke.
