"I have no doubt that you can take care of yourself. I just felt like helping." He laughed, tossing his head again with a grin. Him, hiding something?....Maybe. But dangerous things lurked in the forest at all times, and it was better to be cautious than ignorant.
He gave a snort as his mane was nipped, tossing his head and backing off a pace or two, watching her with a smile. "True. But it's nice when everything is peaceful, right?" He asked, starting to walk through the tall grass, hoping she'd follow him. "I have nothing against the forest. I love living there. But there are just some things that would rather not have anyone living there aside from themselves. Not nice in the least." He mused, coat twitching in rememberance of a creature he'd seen a few weeks back, lurking in the forest. It had given him the creeps and he'd made sure to avoid it at all costs, which it seemed amused to let him do. Rajiv had no doubt that if whatever it was wanted to bother him, he wouldn't have had any say in the matter.
Glancing at her, he gave a wry grin, sidestepping to bump into her shoulder gently, careful of her wings. "Smile stronger. I don't mind that you asked. You shouldn't have to worry about speaking what's on your mind." The stallion reminded her with a gentle smile, hoping that she wouldn't hesitate to do so in the future.
