If he was really honest with himself, he had kind of expected this. Despite the coat of niceness John had, he knew what kind of person his brother was. Granted, a lot of that had been because of popular belief, but it always made him sigh to see John fit the stereotype. He'd only just restrained himself from going to his brother and giving him a piece of his mind, because that would go nowhere good.

Instead he'd focused on making sure the guest room was ready, and had cursed John while working. When he heard the doorbell he paused and then went to open it. He gave Isabelle what he hoped was a comforting smile and stepped back to let her in. "You holding up okay?"

She put her hands around the cup letting them warm up as he explained. She was in his space after all. She needed to not intrude. She would do as little as possible to get in the way. Putting a wet strand of hair behind her ear she nodded her head up and down. "I'd be glad to take care of him." It would give her something to do when she didn't go to school. Except, right now school was the last place she wanted to be. John had helped take care of that, she wasn't sure what she wanted to do yet. Maybe she should take a leave for a little while. Start again after the fall.

"We can if you don't mind. " She gave him a small smile, it wasn't as bright as usual. She couldn't help still feeling like she didn't fit in anywhere. "Thank you."

Hopefully his mother could offer her more comfort. He didn't know what else to do. "I figure it might be nice to have a few more things of your own. Other then that make yourself at home."

He smiled to her, "when you feel better I could take you to see the horses if you like? Both me and Alex have one and we drive up to where there stabled." As far as he knew, every woman liked horses.

She nodded with her lips sucked in. She didn't know how to be around anyone right now. The poor girl had spent so long just by herself that she thought she just might break now. She still had to applaud Richard on his efforts.

"That would be....amazing," there were pricks of tears in her eyes but she did not let them drop. "I haven't ridden a horse in years. Not since I was in high school." She'd done some horse riding then, customary of a well-bred, rich girl.

"Well you can learn again. Tony's a good horse." He rolled his eyes. "My friend George named him. Never let a comic enthusiast name your animals. IT ends poorly." He was trying to cheer her up. In his own way.

He was trying to cheer her up and she was grateful. He was the only one that had tried in a while now. "How did he come by the name Tony?" she asked with a little laugh. It felt good to do that.

He sighed, "His full name is Tony Stark, Iron Horse." He shook his head. "I bought him and couldn't find a name. So George decided to name him for me. Apparently this was the result."

"Well that is a colorful name." She couldn't help but laugh, and covered it quickly with her hand over her face. "I'm sorry, should I have laughed?"
