To say he was surprised to see Jacob Black was probably wrong. He had a feeling that in a place like this he would end up seeing lots of things he didn’t expect to find. It was of some comfort to see Jake without his shirt on -- somethings never change. The werewolf was plodding along ahead of him; Jasper knew he was likely actively ignoring him considering there was no way he wasn’t noticing his sent -- not that Jasper thought he smelt any better.
On any other occasion he would let this go, but currently Jacob was the only other person he knew in this place and it would make him feel slightly more sane if he could just talk to him and make sure this was real. No, he knew it was real, he was actually significantly more curious if Jacob could still turn into a wolf. While he and Jake had a healthy respect for one another, he was still not entirely comfortable of being the only one in the Cullen family currently around.
He kept pace with him for a few minutes; Jacob didn’t seem to speed up anymore but nor did he slow down. Jasper had a feeling that if he could read Jake’s mind it would currently just be a string of profanities with some ‘bloodsucker scum’ mixed in for effect. Finally he sped up so that he was walking next to the werewolf at a very leisurely place.
“Fancy seeing you here.” He gave Jacob an appraising look. “For once you don’t seem to be boiling over.” Jasper didn’t mean it in an antagonistic way; to him it was simply an observation.
