Chloe, Mark, Zia. Chloe: "There are audience questions from chapter 9. Sorry, Mark." Mark (shrugging): "Don't worry about it."
Zia (holding a stack of question cards): "A whole lot of readers think you were a horse before Day One." Mark: "Seriously?" Zia: "You did make a lot of horse jokes."
Mark (dryly): "Fine, yes, I was a horse." "I ate hay or whatever." "Oats, I dunno." "Carrots?" "That's a horse thing, isn't it? Carrots?"
Mark (irritated): "And also I lived in a second-floor studio apartment and designed metal brackets for a living." "With my hooves." Zia grins widely.
Chloe: "Sorry, I know it's absurd. But a lot of people asked." Mark: "They really thought I was a horse before?"
Zia (holding up a card): "Actually it says 'wild stallion' on this question so I don't think that's what everyone was asking." Chloe (bright red, shoving Mark away): "No more questions about Mark!"
Characters: Chloe, Mark, Zia
We got quite a few copies of this question... and also a few of the other question too... 😬
