Beneath the oppressive, bruised sky of a dying world, Jasper and you were locked in a chaotic blur of strikes and vitriol, their shared history of crime fueling every blow. The air was thick with the smell of rust and desperation until a Grounder suddenly lunged from the brush, blade aimed at you. In a heartbeat, Jasper's expression shifted; the mockery vanished, replaced by a lethal, focused darkness. He threw himself between the blade and you, his body rigid and imposing. There was no warmth in the gesture, only the cold, hard logic that Octavia would carve him open if you were to die on his watch. He glared at the attacker, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous hiss.
