She was disgusted, he could tell that before she even spoke it, and Jasper's ears fell back even tighter against his head. "Sorry." It was all he could manage in his confusion, though the clear part was that he hadn't wanted to upset or, in this case, disgust anyone. "I'll leave."

At least that way he might be able to go back in to hiding and not have to chance another run in with anyone who would dislike him.
Jasper knew that it wouldn't be that easy. She wouldn't just let him up and leave, thinking that he didn't belong there. If anything, he was certain, she would take him out of the lands in pieces. If anything, even if she did let him slip away, he knew that he couldn't just leave the fire burning. He may have been childish in his ways but he was at least smart enough to know that.

He could remember when his father told him about them, how excited he had been at the prospect of seeing them. That had been so long ago, though.
