Chloe watched in awe as Joan went in and talked to the boys. She wasn’t sure what she had said, but they had listened, at least to a point and were no longer playing with a dangerous weapon. She let out her sigh too early though as they quickly ran back into the room and began playing with Joan’s gun, with one pointing it at the other. She froze up with her hand over her mouth as she watched things play out. They were lucky that no one had gotten hurt but she could see that it had affected Joan negatively, though she wasn’t sure that the boys had learned anything from that scare.

There was a moment of silence as everyone just looked at each other, Joan looking down at her gun, unsure of what to say. The silence was deafening until Nathan waltzed in the door, seeming as carefree as ever. No one answered his question, as one wouldn’t exactly call what had happened exciting. The word exciting hinted at something that was positive so in Chloe’s mind, a friendly breakfast had been the most exciting thing to happen to her all week. 

When Joan mentioned Josef, Chloe looked up. With her sleeping and what had just happened, she hadn’t had the time to give Joan a full report, or tell her how to treat Josef. She looked behind her at Isabella when she made her announcement and Chloe let out a sigh. Well, at least he was no longer panicking over his lack of arm and sleep was good for healing right? Then again, she wasn’t the doctor. Hopefully she wouldn’t have to worry anymore and could let him be alone now, at least until it was time to give him those medications.

Instead of happily accepting the invitation to join them in restocking supplies like she would have, Chloe felt uneasy. There seemed to be a tension, with Joan being upset for not being able to check on Josef and…. Well she couldn’t quite place why she felt tense with Nathan. All she knew was that she wanted out of this situation in a way that wouldn’t hurt anyone’s feelings or make anyone upset. 

When Isabella interrupted, Chloe felt relieved and shot a thankful look at Isabella. She smiled at the girl and nodded. “I would like that.” She said feeling saved from a terribly tense decision. She had wanted to take a look outside after all and this way she didn’t have to feel tense while doing it. She could enjoy the morning sun, gentle breeze and the lighthearted company that Isabella offered. Perhaps this way she could even take her mind off of the things that were troubling her; just forget everything for a moment and appreciate the beauty of nature. Just imagining it made her happy.
