Jasper leaned into the touch, having grown quite fond of it since coming to be with Kate. He relaxed next to her until she said she had stayed up all night. Sitting up straight, ears perked Jasper faced her,  a mix of shock and concern on his face. Ignoring her offers to make food Jasper placed a hand on Kate's shoulder.<br/><br/>"You should rest, I...I'll be fine." He heard her ask about the guard. He had been treated badly by many of the guards, some of them out of fear as he had attacked several of them on many occasions. It wouldn't have surprised him if this one had hurt him in the past, it seemed to be one of their favourite activities after all.<br/><br/>He nuzzled her hand on his cheek, a soft purr following soon after. He considered her question. He hadn't really thought about how he felt, everything had happened too quickly and it didn't seem like that big of a thing to be bothered thinking about.<br/><br/>"Um...good, I think." He admitted, turning his face away from Kate, his eyes cast downwards. After a few short seconds, Jasper turned back to Kate.<br/><br/>"Kate, thank you." He said, hoping that she understood this was for more than just clearing his scars.
