Jasper chuckled, reaching out to playfully tug on Kennedy's hair before passing her, leading the way back downstairs. "Fine, I'll make something. We probably have enough lunch meat for everyone at least. Just promise you'll go shopping with me tomorrow, yeah? I hate grocery shopping, and I'm not doing it alone for an entire pack! It's a woman's job," he teased, "Now that you all have less people in the pack, it'll take more work to keep it running. Are you all sure you're up for that?"

"Is Mr. Loner over here giving advice on how to run a pack? Yeah, that makes sense?" It was Vera, who'd come in from outside. "Dinner then everyone should at least try and get some sleep, don't you guys think? Extra blankets are in the closet upstairs, showers already have what you need too. Just ignore the dust on your beds and furniture and you'll be okay. As for which room you get," she grinned," first come first serve."

Vera helped get everyone fed, and much to Jasper's annoyance made sure his 2-liter of Coke was finished off. "Jaii?" she asked when she'd finished her supper, taking his hand and pulling him to the side. "I ah...it's late. We can talk in the morning, okay? But-...we're two adults. And we know we're meant for each other, right?" She was actually blushing at this point, her hands on her hips as she avoided eye contact. "So I don't think it should be an issue if we share a room. I'd um...I'd like that. A lot. But let's keep it PG until we work things out, is that okay? I'm exhausted, as I'm sure you are too," she said, finally looking up at him. "Come on, I'm surprised you're not asleep already. I'll show you the room."

Jasper took his own sweet time eating, and while he made an effort to meet everyone else in the pack he couldn't stop glancing at Kennedy. Was it just because she was the only one he'd talked to in length besides Vera? He frowned, shaking his head. This whole staying with a pack thing would have to end, he was already liking the feel of closeness they all had between one another and it wasn't even a bond he was connected to... With a small sigh, and no word to anyone in particular he went upstairs and to his own bed.
