Ioli eventually folded the key inside of her skirt pocket , satisfied with the placement . Looking right ahead , trying to practice her indifference while hiding something, Dolion immediately nudged at her side .
"I'm glad me and my close acquaintances have things in common" he smirked.
The girl swiftly moved on the side and kicked his lower leg making the man wince in pain .

"No , no you see when I want something I
don't drag other people along way to get it."

"I would prefer calling it acting in a smart way" Medea made a small pirouette and faced them listening all along . "Shows dominance that will provide helpful in the future" she said with her deep voice .
When she talked the words always were flying  out in a collective almost alluring way . She could have claimed that the sky was green and the person listening to her would wholeheartedly agree with her , without giving a second thought to her sayings .

Well , whatever that skill was Ioli wasn't having it , that is for sure .
"Strange , Medea , weren't you defending Harvey a moment earlier?"
Silence followed for a few seconds .
"Maybe I was ...however though , I've learned by now that  the two sided option is always more suitable for me...in almost everything." She innocent tilted her head on the side .
Dolion started bubbling about random stuff with her then as usual and Georgia pulled her friend close , grabbing her by the sleeve so she  could reach Iolis ear .
"Are the two of them that brainless to not realize what she meant by that?" she whispered annoyed, looking at  Harvey and Dolion .
"Pretty much" the brunette admitted .
"Fucking hell."

Iolis attention was then caught by the stomping sounds a horse made while Harvey was stroking its blonde mane with a handy brush . It had come out from its shed and stood by the locked fence .
She came by his side to see the horse up close , her  sprits calming down .
"Ioli-"
"Don't worry about it I'll keep the key until tomorrow and then in the morning when Lora arrives to clean my room I'll give it to her claiming I found it on the pavement a day before" she sighed knowing what he would say .
He smiled at her "you're great"
"helping friends is common nature."

Harvey then turned his gaze back to the tall horse "Isn't she gorgeous?"
Ioli did try and lie to herself . She really pressured herself to bury down all her real feelings and why she was that drown into seeing them up close . And as she started squinting her eyes because that horse was starting to look so familiar , her eyes landed on the small stamp on the center of the fence .

It was there .

Two roses diagonally placed inside the small frame and the realization made her heart skip a beat  for some reason .
Harvey noticed her crouching and observing the symbol .
"Pretty cool huh? , the Garrisons really know how to tell stories even though they just wander around the palaces most of the time" he casually went on .
"Those horses are ridden by a military force - this horse-" Ioli widened her eyes from the adrenaline .
Harvey laughed . "You sure act surprised considering these guys are our only protection around the kingdom."
She wasn't sure why the confrontation made her to take a step back . Since the day she found out about the survey corps through books , or  when Dolion and Harvey constantly bragged about going out of town and seeing them return from their missions , she started being more aware and alarmed of her surroundings . Grasping any hopes and information about her imaginative reality she craved to live in .
In the end she agreed it was overly natural for her to tense up when military forces mentions where brought in the table . It felt like one , extremely tiny step to her picturing it in her head more vividly . And now,  Ioli came to the fatal conclusion that this was enough . In a bit , Maria is going to let her know that they need her to get upstairs , make a forced ideal image of her for hours , until she was finally ready to meet mr.Albert in the evening , when all the others would be gathered as well .
Still the thought  of the very soon moments awaiting the girl , hadn't sink in yet . Although the fact that this time , there wasn't an escape , a plan , an excuse planned in her mind ,made her heart break . This wasn't the time were she could come up with a smart move of running away from her responsibilities or her mothers bickering....this was a turning point in her life  .
