Jasper's ears perked as Kate spoke, taking in and trying to remember what she told him for later. The prospect of getting taught skills outside of the pits intrigued him, though also frightened him so what. What if he couldn't learn something? Or did something wrong? His ears lowers slightly as Jasper thought about this, his eyes trained on the table, though unfocused. He wanted to do good, to please the family, but what if he wasn't enough to be a household servant or slave? He had mostly been raised to fight and earn his keep that way, but the Lyons seemed to have none of that.<br/><br/>As Kate asked Jasper what grade level he thought he would be, he once more looked up. He wasn't sure as he had never received proper education of any kind, and so had nothing to base his own limited learning on. He had been taught just what had been deemed necessary, the rest he had picked up on his own, but even that was limited.<br/><br/>"I honestly don't know." He answered. "My training was very limited to what my master and mistress thought I needed." Jasper lowered his head, more than a little ashamed for his lacking skills in the areas that seemed to matter here.
