Jasper closed his eyes, recalling the aftermath of the man's actions. Law enforcement had arrived, and he and the other bystanders had been questioned, but it wasn't like a national emergency was announced. If anything, the officers of the law had seemed... indifferent about the ordeal. They hadn't said much, merely nodded at their descriptions and then told them to return home.
"Um, they didn't really tell us anything," he replied. It was entirely possible that they hadn't shared their thoughts with them because this was an investigation. The truth was that they didn't seem like they'd go above and beyond to investigate things. Jasper didn't want to tell his brother that, it would only give him more reasons to say 'He was deranged' and leave it at that.
Jasper took the second round of whiskey in a gingerly manner, eager to get himself drunk so that the traumatic memories might disappear, but Victor and his questioning wouldn't let him relax. "I-uh-I don't know. Can't you... test me somehow and see?" He started unbuttoning his shirt, as if removing it would also remove any cursed placed upon him.
