Lucy stroked the horses neck chatting to it all the while, sometimes in ways it truly understood, other times just talking.  Mandrake had gone back into the house and left her there with the animals smiling as he'd left. When she was certain she was alone she sat down in the stall and looked up at her horse, since when did she own a horse.

"I don't get it" She said at last "The dresses, you, he's so nice to me and he says its just because he wants to spoil me like a daughter, but I'm not his daughter, my real dad is in some prison somewhere, I could look him up, kill him, leave him dead, but that wouldn't make him suffer, but now apparently Iffy is my dad, Leviticus thinks of me as one of his, Mandrake thinks of me as one of his and all this time I am just finding the whole thing super confusing" She scratched at the healing burns on her arm "Even more so when people are beginning to look to me with an air of being responsible, I don't think I can actually be responsible enough to please them all" the horse looked down at her and nuzzled her, from an outside appearance it would look like a friendly gesture, yet Lucy knew that he really was only after the polo's in her pocket.
