"You startled me-- I wasn't sure where you had gone. Are you okay?"
Taking his hand, Marisole stands slowly, gaze flicking away "No.." she whispers, voice cracking "But I will be..."

"No.. But I will be..."
He hesitates a moment. "If you ever need to talk about anything, I'm willing to listen." He turns, and still holding her hand he starts walking. "Now let's get to the stables and see about your mare."

"You don't have to do that.." Marisole whispers quietly, gaze distant as he pulls her along, barely reacting to the comment about Freesia

"You don't have to do that.."
He pauses, turning to look at her with concern. "Don't you want to see if she's here?"

"Don't you want to see if she's here?"
"I meant you don't have to talk to me, or listen to what I have to say." Marisole whispers quietly, gaze down "I'm meant to be nothing more than your toy, who would like her horse back.."

"Wrong," he says quickly with a shake of his head. "I can talk to you, and I will listen. I want to. You're more than just a toy to anyone-- you have emotions, feelings, hopes and dreams. You're just like anyone else around here."

"I don't feel like anyone else around here.." Marisole whispers, gaze down "Even when I was Spade's toy, I didn't feel anything. I didn't feel pain as he moved, or lust while we were in bed. I didn't even feel jealousy with how friendly that girl was being towards you, as I hold no true likeness to you."

"You feel love-- you care deeply for your mare, enough so to search for her the first chance you have. You feel fear. You feel uncertainty. You feel happiness-- that much was evident when I offered to help you. You have those emotions, you have hopes," he goes on. "That's just like anyone else. We all have our emotions, our dreams, fears, secrets. Which in turn makes you no different."

"So what if I have them?" Marisole whispers, fists clenching at her side "It's not like it matters. I end up being free for like five minutes before I'm traded off to be someone's property. And you don't even view me like Spades used to, maybe your eyes are only for that girl. Pretty." voice cracking, she shakes her head slowly "I want my horse. Nothing else."

"Wrong," he says. "I do not look at you like he did because he is not a man who focuses on more than just lust. I am not someone who is out to look for pleasure. In fact, I distaste the idea anymore. You think you are a toy, that you're nothing else and that everyone should see you as such. But you're wrong." His voice shakes a little, and by now there's emotion showing on Ace's face unlike any he's shown anyone else. "I've been in your shoes. I am in your shoes. And I hate feeling like nothing more than a pawn in someone's twisted game. I can't even imagine what life would look like it what people consider to be good things haven't been tainted by someone else's fantasies. And knowing that someone just tried giving me another human being like they are just a toy tears me apart, because no one deserves that."
Realizing he just splurged his heart out, his mouth clamps shut and with a shaky breath he turns and leads her towards the stables, his hand still in hers.

Eyes widening, Marisole listens silently, keeping her gaze down before she trembles at the last bit, tears pricking as he leads her away. "Sir.." she whispers, voice breaking as she pulls him to a stop, tears hitting the ground "Please.."

"Sir.. Please.."
He stops but doesn't turn around, gaze averted to the ground as he fights to recompose himself. Ace turns his head only a little, showing that he was listening.

Gaze wavering, she looks down, hand pressing to her eyes as she tries to regain her thoughts, inhaling shakily "Can..." her voice cracks, choking on the fear in her throat "Can we be friends?.."

"Can... Can we be friends?.."
He looks back at her, offering a small smile of relief, having somewhat reigned himself in. "Of course we can," he says gently.

"Of course we can,"
Shoulders slumping in relief, Marisole steps forward slowly, arms hesitantly wrapping around his in a hug, gaze finding his arm "Thank you.."
