"Then why?" He asked quietly, suddenly confused and relieved all at once. Maybe his friend wasn't in there after all, or maybe he had and once Ahren realized that the ghost was his son's companion he tried to make it seem like it was nothing. It wasn't just about Rusalki though, the place had been his home, and Jasper was torn between what was happening. Sure, he might not have continued to live there with Esper Hollow and Laurent now gone, but that little shack was the very last thing that he had to cling to, the very last little bit of Laurent that he had left. What if Laurent came back and found it burnt to the ground? Would he assume that Jasper had burned with it and leave without even trying to find him? "What are we gonna do now?" Jasper only assumed that the two of them would stick together, they had before, in a way. Esper Hollow was gone, Laruku had all but disappeared, and now the place that he had called home was burning to the ground before his very eyes. Back to the way things were before, he supposed. |
