Belial didn't want to make Aquene anxious. He never meant to make her upset or worry at all. He knew that he had alerted her to something... But the faster he could make her forget those feelings of doubt, the better. The muscles beneath the skin of his shoulder tensed as she nuzzled against him, but they relaxed this time. It was... Very nice, to have Aquene nuzzle him and be close. He couldn't ignore that, despite how his mind told him to stop thinking like that.
At any other mare who would've spoke those words, Belial would've probably rose his brows, chuckled, and nodded. But with Aquene, his face kept it's seriousness and he aalyzed the statement. Or overanalyze. What exactly did she mean? Was she blind? He could easily harm her, even unintentionally. And... What if he did harbour feelings for her? Would she stand by him even in that situation!
Or... Maybe she just meant it as a friendly gesture. He hoped so, at least. He believed her words however. Belial knew that there was no deceit lacing the words she spoke.
"Yeah, I do." He looked down at her and smiled, and flicked his tail at her.
((Think this is a good end to the rp?))
