Sage was confused as to who she was talking about, then realized she'd probably be talking about her old man. "I wish I could say what I knew what it was like to have a decent father," he said. "I lost a sister though... So I sort of understand," he added after a moment

Chloe turned around trying not to cry. She walked out of the round pen and into the tack room. She bundled herself into a ball and started crying. She couldn't run the stable. She wasn't fit for this. All these horrid thoughts came to Chloe. She'd never doubted herself before so why now?

Sage was rather confused when she just walked away, but he sort of just figured it was because he was...well, what he was. She probably just didn't want to talk to him, especially not now that she was grieving. It still hurts though, more than he let on. He'd thought she could be a friend....but now he didn't know if she liked him at all.

Chloe didn't like people seeing her upset. Whiskey and colt could feel something was wrong so they kicked at their stall doors. Chloe heard them banging and didn't come out.
-grace-

grace had gotten home and heard the news of father. "He can't be dead" she said to her servant crying. She immediately texted Chloe. She hoped Chloe was ok. Chloe she only had father. Chloe's mother had passed away about 2 years ago. Now all Chloe would have was the horses.

Sage eventually just went to Chaos's paddock and sat down in the shade against a tree. The stallion came over and laid down next to him, grazing happily as sage reached over to pet him. The horse really was his best friend

Chloe stood up and wipes her tears. She walked back out side and stood in the middle of the round pen as the stallion galloped around. When the stallion charged at Chloe she stood still and watched him. The stallion then stopped tossed his head and pushed Chloe's shoulder with his head. Chloe held out her hand as the stallion sniffed at her. The stallion let Chloe put a halter on him and Chloe lead him around. Chloe smiled and stroked the stallions neck. "I think I'll call you diesel" she told him. Diesel tossed his head happily.

Sage stayed with chaos for a while, sort of just...thinking. trying to figure out what was going on with him and grace and Chloe. And who else was involved? It would be easy for grace to tell someone to come capture him. And he was definitely worried about it. He eventually went past the barn, going back to his dirty old trailer.

Chloe lead diesel to the pasture. She let the stallion go and the stallion ran around bucking. Chloe went inside her cabin. She saw a blade and looked at her arm. She picked up the blade and cut her arm. It hurt. "Jesus Christ" she said in pain. She wrapped her arm and walked to the stable and put whiskey, bolt, Pippa and spark into their pastures.

Sage had sort of just sat on the step to his trailer, thinking. His nose twitched and his head shot up when he smelled blood, and trotted over to poke his head into the barn. "I smell blood... everything alright," he called quietly to Chloe, hoping she wouldn't get mad at him.

Chloe looked at sage and nodded. She wasn't going to tell him she'd decided to cut herself. She grabbed some hay and her sleeve fell down showing the bandage but she walked to the pasture and put some hay in spark + pippas, some in whiskey + bolt and some In diesels pasture.
