"Am I allowed to keep her?.." Marisole whispers upon the sound of footsteps, eyes closed, unmoving, forehead pressed to the base of Freesia's neck

"Am I allowed to keep her?.."
"Yes," he answers with a smile. "And they're giving you a saddle and brush for her."

"They're what?" Marisole squeaks, eyes wide as she looks at him, mouth open

"They're what?"
"A saddle and brush," he repeats, happy to see her reaction. "You'll be able to take care of her yourself now."

"A saddle and brush. You'll be able to take care of her yourself now."
"But... Why?" Marisole whispers, gaze full of confusion "They didn't have to do that.."

"But... Why? They didn't have to do that.."
"Not everything has to have a reason," Ace replies as he steps over, gently stroking the mare's nose. "They want to help, and those of the carnival live to see smiles." He gains a wistful expression for a moment.

"Sir..." Marisole whispers, eyes wavering as she watches Freesia snort softly at his touch before she looks down "Why don't you run away, join them?.."

"They remind me of something I had lost years ago," He replies, looking at her. "I don't want something to befall them because of me."

"They remind me of something I had lost years ago. I don't want something to befall them because of me."
"But you'd be safe here, happier.." Marisole starts, quiet "And if something did happen, wouldn't you fight?"

"But you'd be safe here, happier.. And if something did happen, wouldn't you fight?"
His gaze turns back to the mare. "Even if I fought, I would lose," he murmurs, then takes a breath. "But enough about that. Let's get ready to take Freesia here back with us. I'm sure she'll be thrilled if you took her for a ride."

"I think you might have a good shot.." Marisole whispers, gaze avoiding his as he changes the subject before her cheeks redden, smiling a little in the corners "She'd like that.."

"I think you might have a good shot.. She'd like that.."
"Then what are we waiting for?" he goes and retrieves a brush and a saddle, taking care of which ones he grabs, and hoists the saddle onto a shoulder as he walks back to Marisole. "Do you know how to saddle her?"

"I don't..." Marisole whispers, shaking her head, nervous "Do you?...

"I don't... Do you?...
He nods, setting the brush down on a post. "I do. I'll teach you." He pulls the saddle from his shoulder and steps to Freesia. "Normally you would have a blanket between the saddle and the horse, though I'll have to get you one. But it'll be fine until we return."

"A blanket?.." Marisole echoes, stepping closer to the two of them "Why?.."
