Elsie wasn't going to deny that she liked them, it was too obvious and Alice had already caught her stalking the couple several times. Unlike with the rest of society she wasn't invisible to these people. She wiped at her eyes with her fists to make sure that no tears had fallen, her bare feet kicking at the water in her frustration. She didn't know how to let herself do what she wanted.

Jasper could see her inner struggle. He reached out and gently ran his fingers through her hair in a fatherly manner. "Come on Elsie. You can do it. Stop controling your every move and every emotion. You don't have to do it with us. You can be yourself. Let yourself be happy. Let yourself do what you want. You deserve it"

He didn't understand and probably never would, her control over herself wasn't something that she would give up so easily. It was the only thing she had, it was her protective shield. Elsie clamped her eyes shut tightly as his cool fingers began sliding through her hair, freeing her pigtails from their bind. "Stop.." She whispered. "I don't want to talk about this anymore."

"We don't have to talk about this. Just do it Elsie. Trust us" Jasper repeated once more before turning his face back towards the water. He sighed and pulled one knee up to his chest. "Tell me more about yourself" He said changing the topic. "What kinds of clothes and colors do you like? I noticed you weren't too happy about Alice's choice"

He wouldn't give up but neither would Elsie, her stubbornness wouldn't allow her to. After a few minutes she finally opened her eyes again, returning her gaze back to the water and kicking at it with the tips of her toes. "I don't like pink." She answered. "That is a girl's color and I'm not a girl, I'm Elsie."

I'm not a girl, I'm Elsie. Those few words told Jasper a lot but also brought even more questions. Elsie wanted to be unique. She saw herself as unique. Subconsciously she didn't want to be like other girls. She probably didn't even like them. It might have had something to do with her family situation. Maybe her parents were abusing her because she wasn't a good girl like they wanted. Or maybe they wanted to have a boy and had Elsie instead. They could keep reminding her about this fact. One thing was sure. Elsie had a very strong personality but she also wanted someone to accept that personality. She wanted to be accepted the way she was fighting the fear of being rejected at the same time and hiding herself in a shell.
"I don't like pink either" he said thoughtfuly

He was trying to figure her out. Elsie could practically see all of the wheels already turning in his head. He was a smart man, it would take him a little while but he would eventually get it. She tucked her hair behind her ears and wrinkled her small nose in disgust. "As you shouldn't. It is a horrible color." She stated. It reminded her a lot of her sisters, almost everything they owned had to be pink. That and among many other things was what set her apart from her siblings. They used to tease her because she was so different. "Promise you won't let Alice dress any of your future children in something so ugly?"

Jasper nodded crossing his heart. "Neither our future children nor you" He promised. "And you're right. It's an ugly color. Reminds me of sugary sweets. I used to hate them." He said with a small frown at the same time registering everything he could about Elsie. Her gestures, her words, how she hated color pink. "My favorite color is blue. What's yours?" He asked curiously

Elsie caught how he added her into his promise and she sighed inwardly. She had never really thought about what her favorite color was and she had to take a moment to think the question over. She could agree with him and say blue but that wouldn't be truthful. It was a nice color but she didn't like how people defined her by it, by the beautiful piercing blue of her eyes. "Black." She answered quietly.

"Black" Jasper repeated. "Right. It's a nice color. It tells a lot about you actually. Black is rebelious and so are you. I like that" He said with a smile. Yes, she definitely looked more like a black color person than a pink one. Pink girls were cute but they were plain and flat. They were predictable. "So you'd rather wear a black hoodie for example?"

Elsie nodded. The clothes that Alice had got for her were nice but they didn't reflect on her personality at all. She felt almost ridiculous in them and only wore them out of her respect for Alice. "Black can help make a person almost invisible. Especially at night." She murmured.

"You don't need to be invisible" Jasper murmured. "You don't have to hide into the night anymore" He added running his fingers through her hair again. "But black is this kind of color that doesn't overhelm a person creating a fake idea about their personality. It only emphasizes certain features. "

"I know that I don't need to be invisible but I prefer it that way." Elsie shrugged, unable to keep herself from leaning in to his touch. Her eyes closed as she reveled in the feeling though she knew she shouldn't. "I don't like to be seen. Most people don't notice me anyways. It's great.."

"I know what you mean." Jasper agreed. He remembered his first years after leaving the gang. Before that he liked being seen. He liked being feared of but after he left them he noticed how the world would respond to his scars and the cold look in his eyes. He didn't like being noticed. It took him years to accept the world again

Elsie nodded her head in her understanding, curling her tiny body into a ball so that she could almost disappear inside his large coat. That was one of the reasons why she loved it so much, it was big enough to swallow up her small body. It was something else that protected her. She rarely ever took it off. "You used to enjoy being in a gang. You used to thrive off of others fear." She murmured. "But not anymore. You are a family man now?"

"Yes" Jasper nodded his head absently staring at the water. "I used to enjoy it. When it was just the fear it was ok. And the thrill of stealing. It was ok. But killing was painful. I know what I am and I know I can't avoid my diet but it's painful. Aidan and Alice helped me when I was lost. Barely knowing me they reached out for me and showed me there's a different life and my past meant nothing to them. They are my family now. "

Elsie hadn't asked a question. She knew that what he said was true, she had seen it for herself. Sometimes her gift worked both ways. She leaned forward to rest her chin on her knees. "And do you want that family to grow?" She asked curiously. "Or did you just agree because you want to make Alice happy?"

"No" Jasper shook his head leaning backwards. "I do want this family to grow, though I can't deny that I'm scared. I don't know what to expect. I've never had anything to do with infants. Actually you're the youngest person I've even known but you're mature mentally so I don't feel the generation barrier between us."

"So to you i doesn't feel like you are speaking with an eight year old girl but a century and a half year old woman?" Elsie asked with a small laugh at how silly that sounded. It had always felt like her parents had given birth to a mature thirty year old woman. Even when she was a baby she had learned to do things for herself, with just a little help from Will of course. "If you really are the good person that I know you are then you will know what to do the moment you have the little one in your arms. But Alice won't blame you if you decide that this isn't what you want."

"Well not that old" Jasper said laughing with her. That was an interesting comparison. "But someone around twenty. But it's not entirely good you know. I'd like to see you smile more. And play. And I think we need to go to the movies" He added.
Her words pleased and calmed him down. "No, I've been thinking about it myself a while ago but I decided neitehr of us was ready. But it was years ago. Things have changed now. I have changed"
