Jasper sucked in a deep breath of air, despite the fact that he didn’t need it. It felt weird not breathing, after all, and the familiar human reaction was actually fairly comforting at the end of the day. He didn’t really know why- but it was. “Thank you, Rose.” His voice was soft, in a way that it usually wasn’t- simply because he still habitually held himself like he was a soldier, even after all the years he’d lived since he’d left any sort of war. There’s a pause before an odd sort of grin made his lips twitch, his head shaking briefly. “But I do know you care. I can feel your emotions, remember?” He was teasing, one of the rare moments he allowed himself to relax long enough to actually do it- his amber gaze drifting towards her carefully. “I do hope I find them. Whoever they may be. I just hope that I have the strength to not kill them.”
The vampiress lightly smiled as she looked towards Jasper, she didn’t know why he sighed deeply but she understood the comfort in small mundane human actions being forced. Rosalie nodded as she tucked loose blonde hair behind her ear as she nodded. She loved passionately, and Jasper felt it, he felt her compassion even when she didn’t expose it. “I know, but you also know not to tell people that I actually care about people.” She laughed softly as she sped up to be beside her brother. Relaxing alongside Jasper was very rare, but sometimes the vampires did need to relax without worrying about anything else, no new school, no troubles with thirst. Just being the people they were before transition. “You will, we all have a mate out there. You won’t kill them, you do have some control.”
