â€œYou were concerned?â€ she asked sarcastically, and with a defeated sigh she added, â€œMy name is Tristana.â€ Jasper smiled at Tristina.<br/><br/>"Well Tristina it is nice to meet you. You can call me Jasper or if you really want to get personal you can call me bastard." Jasper chuckled a bit this woman was certainly feisty. A knock at the door brought Jasper's attention away from Tristina.<br/><br/>"Sir I brought you the food you requested." The shaky voice came from the hall. Jasper got up and unlocked the door. The food was to bowls of thin soup and some bread. He got the food from the man thanked him and locked the door again. He walked back over to the table and set the food down.<br/><br/>"Now I am going to feed you but don't expect me to untie you I have no doubt you would use your magic on me if you could." Jasper pulled the chair around the table so it was next to hers.<br/><br/>"Now I am guessing that you want to know why I have for lack of another term kidnapped you. Well it is easily explained I am after a man, A man of magical means who has been able to keep at least a week ahead of me and I want you to help me find him. In return I will protect you. As long as you stay close you will be safe." Jasper said this as he lifted a spoonful of soup up to Tristina's mouth.<br/><br/>"Here you go I bet you are hungry after your delightful romp through this town."
