Jules planned to exit the castle right away. She didn’t even want to stay at the party for so long when the whole situation happened. So, the last thing she expected was for her to get so swept up in helping others. She couldn’t help it though. Her heart always ached for a person in need, especially when it was women or crying kids. “Hey,” Jules said, turning to the next person she found looking a little pale in the face, “you alright? Can I do anything?”

“It’s okay, love,” Jules comforted exasperatedly, her voice tired. Someone had startled her horse into running off from the stables, probably something as innocent as drunken making out in secret or something along those lines, but Calisto didn’t see it that way. She took off, along with a palace horse, who was now roaming the grounds. Calisto had made it toward the entrance of the castle, thankfully where Jules could quickly find her. 

For all the action and excitement that Jules sees on a daily basis, the animal wasn’t used to being cooped up in a stable, especially not with so much excitement around. Whoever went into the stables really gave her a good fright.

The horse was calming down now, and nudged Jules with her large head. “Good girl,” she said with a laugh as she stumbled backwards. In her stumbling, she backed into someone who must have been coming down the stairs a moment ago. 

“Sorry!” Jules turned quickly, but instinctively kept a hand on the horse, making sure Calisto stay put and to keep her calm. “Are you okay? I was completely not paying attention.”
