Jasper shrugged awkwardly, and gave a wry smile. “I guess it never came up,” he said honestly. He knew some stuff, but he didn’t know an even larger amount of stuff, and it was as much of not more his fault than anyone else’s. Jasper knew he should ask more questions, get more answers, but he wasn’t prone to question asking at the best of times, and he’d often felt like he was annoying his guardians during the first year or so of his time as a Vampire. Maybe he just got a shitty guardian? “I guess a lot of topics never came up,” he said slowly, thinking back now hat he’d learned since yesterday evening. With Moonlight being a Null and all that that meant, and now that Gerald was a Warden. Things he should have known something about. Jasper was suddenly wondering what else he should have been taught about in the past two years and hadn’t been.

His wry smile returned when Aislin promised to school him on his next night off. He would certainly be finding out how much he didn’t know with Aislin poking around to find all the holes! He half hoped he wouldn’t get Nicolai into trouble, but part of him also hoped the older vampire would get at least scolded for not helping Jasper to be the best vampire he could be. Wasn’t that basically the purpose of the babysitter? Answer questions and help prevent Jasper form fucking up? Not that Jasper had had to be babysat for a while now – at least, not unless he was live feeding – but that just meant Nicolai should have finished educating him, right?

Jasper was so confused. He needed to stop thinking. “Who is babysitting the new kid — Ah, Chance?” Hopefully it wasn’t Nicolai!
