❛  when was the last time you ate something ?  ❜ / JASPER & JOSH / @alwayslcyal

❛ A GOOD MEAL ? or just in general ? ❜ a tired , amused smile curves his lips as he rests chin in palm , elbow propped on the table he sits at . ❛ it's been longer than it should be . but we're on bella duty again ---------- can't go running off whenever we need to . ❜ HE LIKES BELLA ! but it can be frustrating . especially when he's dying of thirst .

❛ @eldeir ? ❜ surprise colors the immortals gaze as his head tilts ever so slightly . ❛ there's a face i haven't seen in a century . ❜ a delighted smile curves jasper's lips as he takes an eager , albeit cautious , step towards the other . in truth , he'd met her during the vampire wars , when she'd stumbled into the war zone . HAVING NO PART IN THE FIGHT , jasper led her to safety ---- far from maria , or her knowledge . it was the first interaction he'd had with a vampire who didn't drink human blood ; first time he ever saw peace reflected in an immortal's gaze . FIRST TIME HE'D KNOWN HE COULD WANT MORE OF HIS ETERNITY . the attraction he'd felt was palpable ------ partly due to her beauty , but mostly due to the warmth she radiated , &* thus influenced his own powers . it was the first taste he'd ever had of calm since awakening as this feral thing maria made him .

seeing her now , outside the cullen residence ? it's certainly like seeing a ghost . he'd sought her out after he left maria , but alice found him first . grateful as he is for the pixie of a girl for bringing him here , he'd always wondered how he'd have fared in paris . ❛ what brings you here , ma'am ? ❜ hopeful brow raises , as if he's just waiting to hear she'd sought him out , too . perhaps maria led her here when lora found he wasn't in texas ---- his creator came here once , simply to say her peace &* move on .
