Jasper didn't need to look into her eyes. He knew she was lying and it angered him a little. "Elsie, I thought me cleared some things. Like - I'm not sir, I'm Jasper, and your parents aren't at home. You said it yourself. So please, don't try to fool me, okay? You're staying here. You don't have to be afraid. No one will hurt you. You're safer here than outside. And if you're afraid your parents may not like the idea of you staying here then we can not tell them about it. Or if you prefer I'll go to them tomorrow and introduce myself. So please, stop trying to sneak out, relax, eat and then go get some sleep. In a warm bed" he said in a very parental voice

For a moment Elsie didn't know what to do, the parental tone of his voice had taken her by complete surprise. She hadn't ever really heard that before except for when she observed other children with their parents. She was more used to the growled demands that her own used to give her. "A-Alright Major." She nodded obediently, lowering her eyes to her lap as she twiddled her thumbs together.

Aidan chuckled at Jasper's parental tone. "Well, well, Major, I had no idea you had it in you. I've heard you give orders, I've heard you interrogate but I've never heard the parental side of you. You're pretty good at it" he said getting up. "Don't worry girl. Jasper really wants to keep you safe." He said. "But...well, I guess you'll be able to survive without me for a while. I'm going to my room. Good night!" He got up and waved before heading to his room

"Sweetest dreams Mr. Kinney. You'll be needing that beauty sleep.." Alice smirked, ruffling his hair and nudging his shoulder on the way past. She kneeled down on the kitchen floor next to her husband, taking Elsie's small hand in her own. "Jasper is right, you are safer here with us and we both would really like it if you stayed. At least for one night. I have a room ready for you and if you want you finish supper in bed or I can wrap it up and you can take the rest home with you tomorrow if you decide that you want to go." She gently pushed the plate back towards the girl and smiled when she picked up her fork and took a few more bites. "That's a good girl.."

"That won't help him" Jasper murmured when Aidan left. Aidan was skinny and mousy with dark circles around his eyes and no matter how long he slept or how much blood he drank his looks wouldn't change. Not that Jasper found himself attractive with his scars and paleness. Actually he often thought Aidan looked better but he liked to tease him nonetheless.
He was glad when Alice helped him with Elsie. It worked and Elsie was eating again. Jasper hoped he'd be able to check if letting her out of here was safe before actually doing it

Elsie would be the good little obedient girl while she was here and do as the grown ups told her to. She didn't have much of a choice anymore as she had agreed to come and leaving now might make them even more suspicious. She kept her eyes on her plate as she ate, ignoring Alice's intense gaze. The older woman's eyes held a small hint of longing in them that she just couldn't bear to see. The couple needed to have a talk sometime soon.

Aidan lay awake on his bed, a pile of files placed on his pillow. He reached out for the first file and opened it reading carefully. He pulled out a few photos and spread them out on the bed comparing and analyzing. While doing all that he was listening to the conversations downstairs. Apparently Jasper and Alice managed to convince Elsie to stay because he could still hear her heart beat and the sound of the fork against the plate. Again Aidan wondered what exactly Alice and Jasper were going to do. He knew Alice wanted a child. She never said that but he could see it in her eyes

Alice was on her feet almost the second that Elsie pushed her plate away, helping the oddly silent girl up from her chair. She hadn't eaten it all but it was enough that Alice wouldn't feel guilty for sending her to bed with. She would pack up the rest later for her to take with her when she decided to go. "Come! I'll show you to your room." She grinned, tugging the girl down the hall with her without giving her a chance to protest. "Jasper could you go fix her something to drink and then come join us please?"

Elsie turned around to look at Jasper as she was nearly dragged down the hall by the over excited pixie, pleading with him with her piercing blue eyes for him to follow. She was taken to a small bedroom across from Aidan's where she was helped out of her old dirty clothes and forced into an ugly pink night dress that was her exact size. Alice had prepared for her well though without taking in consideration personal taste.

"Of course" Jasper said getting up. "But I don't know what she'd like to drink" He caught Elsie's eyes and responded instantly following them into the bedroom. stopping only when Alice began undressing the girl. He turned around and leaned against the door frame with his back at the two until he was allowed to face them again. He noticed the pained look on Elsie's face caused by the pink night dress but he silently begged her with his eyes not to say anything. They'd take care of it tomorrow in a gentle way but he knew that saying anything now would hurt Alice.

“I don’t want anything sir.” Elsie mumbled, climbing into bed as Alice pulled back the sheets for her. She highly doubted that she would be getting any sleep here and especially not in the hideous pink night dress but she held her tongue for Jasper’s sake since it seemed to keep the little wife of his happy. She seemed all too eager to play the good hostess or better yet to play mom. She would have to talk about that with Jasper before she disappeared from their lives. “It’s a bit early for bed isn’t it? Mum and Dad don’t usually tuck me in until much later.”

In this case Jasper could negotiate with Alice. Elsie was right. It wasn't late. "I think she's tright" He said and turned to Elsie. "Aren't you sleepy?" He asked walking into the room and sitting on the bed. "What would you like to do then? Read something? Maybe you'd like me to read you? Or tell you a story? Or you'd like to talk maybe?" he suggested

Elsie pulled her knees to her chest and hugged them tightly as the married couple both sat down on the edges of the bed, her blue eyes dancing between the two of them before finally settling on Jasper. She tried her best to ignore the gentle hand that combed through her dark hair so as to not upset Alice by telling her that she was uncomfortable. Elsie wasn't used to such a gentle touch and she didn't know what the woman expected to get from it. "That depends on what you would want to talk to me about." She murmured.

Jasper knew Elsie was feeling uncomfortable but he hoped that would change soon. It was obvious the girl wasn't used to it. Apparently she wasn't used to any kinds of attention and caring. Obviously they'd have to change it but that would probably take some time. She was still being suspicious. "No. That depends on what you want to talk about. Anything you want"

Elsie didn't think that there was anything that she felt comfortable with talking to them about except for their own marital issues that she had already taken note of. "Can we talk alone then?" She asked, not looking at Alice because she didn't think she could handle seeing the pout form on her lips. Seeing it once beforehand was bad enough but it was Jasper that she was the most comfortable with for some unknown reason. "Please?"

Alice pouted but she didn't need to be told twice to know when to get lost. With one last pat to the top of Elsie's head, she rose from the bed and kissed Jasper's cheek. "I'll just umm..go torture Aidan with my presence." She murmured, backing out of the room. "Call me if you need me."

"Please do" Jasper chuckled at her promise. "He needs to put down those files for a while and do something that's not about theft, murder or any other kinds of crime" He kissed her hand and murmured a soft I love you before she left then he turned back to Elsie. "We have full privacy now. What can I do for you then?" he asked

Elsie didn't say anything for awhile as she climbed down from the bed to cross the room where Alice had left her things. She picked up Jasper's coat that he had let her borrow earlier and shoved her arms into the big sleeves before returning to bed. She wasn't cold but it was comforting to have it around her. "I don't know." She answered truthfully. She had just wanted to be with him alone.

“I love you too.“ She murmured before backing out of the room. With the stealth of a cat Alice tiptoed inside young master Kinney’s room, waiting until she was just mere inches from the man before pouncing onto his back with a high pitched giggle. “I’ve been sent to distract you from your work! Put the files down Mr. Kinney and back away from them slowly!”

Jasper didn't miss how Elsie walked to her clothes and picked up his jacket. She put it on as if she was cold but Alice made sure to keep the room warm. Also, Jasper noticed how Elsie became calmer when she put his coat on. As if it was some kind of a shield around her. "Alright." He said with a smile. "We can sit in silence then. Or babble about nothing particular. Gossip maybe. Anything you want"
