A curious tilt of his head accompanied the action of eyeing her as she puffed her cheeks out, grinning a bit at the endearing action. He wondered if it was something she was even aware that she did, and made a note to look for it in the future.
He grinned brightly in response to her quip, shaking out his thick cerulean mane, deliberately showering her in more droplets of the cool, salty water. "Nope, you're definitely not the only one to get wet. You should try to have fun more often." He let her lean on him- it was a pleasant feeling, despite the cold dampness of the wet fur between them- he could understand partially now why his father loved to cuddle his mother so much, and a warm heated blush rose to his face at the thought.
Watching her attempt to shake her wings dry, the azure and ebony stallion attempted to assert his own help in the process, brushing off stray droplets from the delicate appendages with his nose. It didn't do much good- he hadn't thought it would, anyway- but it was the thought that counted, right?

"I do have fun. In my own little ways." Her tail slapped against the rolling water again. Ducking her head slightly and trying to shield her face from the shower of water from his mane.
Bright eyes looked at him curiously as she noticed a slight darker tinge to his face. It was barely noticeable but her eyes was sharp enough to pick up the faint change. An eyebrow raised slightly as she tilted her head. "I can get off you if your uncomfortable..."
Her wings gave a surprised twitch as he nosed them. The mare wasn't used to others touching her wings, so it was a bit startling at first. And she wasn't quite too sure what he was doing, but then she figured he was just trying to help her dry them off.

Blinking in surprise for a moment as he jerked his head up at her inquiry, he stuttered uncertainly before forcing out a very unconvincing grin. "Ah, n-no, that's all right! I was j-just um... thinking that I've never been this close to a pretty mare... b-besides my mother, that is."
There were, perhaps, smoother things that he could have said- but again, Nahuel was no charmer like his father. His mother had once told him that his tendency to stumble over words when concerned with impressing a female was an endearing trait, but he doubted that any of them thought that way.
Clearing his throat with a shaky grin, he continued with his task of assisting in drying her wings, shaking off stray droplets from his own coat every now and then.

His stuttering made her chuckle on the inside. A devilish smirk curled the corners of her dark lips as she leaned against him a bit more. Letting her weight settle. Though even in her larger state, she was still comparatively smaller than the average mare. "Good. Because I don't feel like moving right now." Roxy batted her long eyelashes a few times. "A pretty mare? You really think I'm pretty Nahuel?"
Her wings moved slowly up and down as she brushed them against his nose lightly. Letting out a small puff of a breath, she tried to move a few stray strands of hair out of her eyes.

Cerulean hues widened at the veiled flirtation in her voice, although Nahuel, for the life of him, could not figure out what it was. He had a reputation of being dense and naive, after all, and it wasn't for naught. He could tell that something was off, however, and it set off little warning bells in the back of his head.
Something inside him lurched in a pleasant senation as she said she wasn't going anywhere, but he didn't dare ponder its meaning as he leapt to answer her question. "O-Of course I do! You're v-very pretty, M-Missus Roxanne!" he shifted slightly, his uncertainty turning into full-blown nervousness as he pondered the meaning of the look she was giving him... he knew there was something he wasn't getting, here... still, the nervousness and excitement, while it was something he wasn't used to, wasn't entirely unpleasant.
Swallowing audibly as her wings brushed against his muzzle, he offered another shaky, unconvincing smile as he leaned forward to assist her in brushing aside the wet hair that had fallen over her eyes. "P-Probably the prettiest I've ever m-met."

She giggled lightly at the widening of his eyes and the not so subtle stutter in his reply. It was kind of cute. He just seemed so innocent really. A bigger change from some of the other stallions she had come across. They were either too pushy, stuck up, or just totally brutish.
"Awww, your too cute Nahuel. Thank you." Roxy smiled as he brushed aside her wet hair. But she raised a curious eyebrow to his last comment. "Have you not met many mares? I'm sure there are a lot that are prettier than I am." Now she was just fishing for more compliments. But what mare wouldn't? It was kind of nice to be fawned over and told you were pretty.

He grinned brightly at the compliment, even though to another stallion it would have probably seemed condescending- something you would tell a child- but he didn't mind. "Oh, I-I've met lots of mares!" he nodded sagely to himself, cerulean irises losing focus as he thought back. "There was my mother, my sister, Missus Sukari, Aquene, Missus Nixsi, Missus Shadi... uh..." he trailed off here, trying to recall any others, but failed.
He looked back up after a minute, offering a sheepish grin to the flutter mare. "I g-guess I haven't really met m-many mares, b-but you're definitely the prettiest o-of the ones I have met, Missus Roxanne. Y-You're really nice, too... a-and that matters a lot. M-Missus Sukari is pretty, b-but she's r-really mean, 'specially to D-Dad."

Giving a fluttery laugh, she nosed his cheek lightly. "Well, just because I'm nice now doesn't mean I can't be mean sometimes." Another large wave surged up and splashed Roxy in the face. A look of sheer horror taking over as her bangs were over her eyes again. With a quick shake of her head, she was able to at least be able to see out of one.
"Your not too bad looking yourself, though. Even when your...." A grin spread across her face as she kicked up a bit of water at his face with a knee. "...wet."

He laughed out loud as her face and forelocks were drenched once againby the errant waves, more amused by the horrified look on her face than anything else.
At her comment about his own looks, however, he was abruptly surprised into silence, contemplating the meaning of her words as he strained to look in his own reflection- failing because the water was moving too much for him to see, but that wasn't the point. He was good-looking? He'd never really considered the possibility before- his mother had always said so, but she was his mother, she had to say things like that. For Roxanne to say so, however... it made the heat rise to his face and the stuttering to start all over again.
The abrupt splash to his face took him by surprise, and he sputtered as his own mane was once again sopping with the salty liquid. "Heyyyyy!" he whined like a petulant child, mock-pouting in her direction before letting a grin overtake it again. He shook it out, making sure to shower her in the resulting watery droplets.

Roxy puffed out her cheeks again at his laughter. But then stuck out her tongue in a very childish manner. Finally able to see out of both eyes now though, she caught that faint difference in the color of his face, which made her grin lightly.
She let out a loud giggle as she had caught him off guard with her splash. Her whole body shook with her laughter. But not a second later she let out a squeal as she was bombarded with another shower of water. "Your so mean to me sometimes Nahuel." The mare's bottom lip stuck out as she gave a slight pout.
Touching his own nose with her own and looking into his eyes for a moment. Her own had a touch of mischief in them. "But I can be mean back." And with that little statement, she squirted a bit of water at his face. During the barrage of water he shook at her, she had scooped a little of the salty water into her mouth in the process.

"Mean, am I?" he chuckled as he wrung out his mane as best he could with his teeth, shaking the excess water from his fur as he grinned down at the flutter mare. Before he could respond, however, he was showered once again with more of the salty liquid, and he shook his head again with a cough and a sputter.
Clearing his eyes and ignoring the sopping wet forelocks clinging to his face and muzzle, Nahuel moved his face very close to hers, grinning as he spoke in a very low and uncharacteristically steady manner. "There is nothing you would be able to do to convince me that you are mean, Missus Roxanne."

"Really? How's that?" Her tail made a great sweep across the water. The cold was starting to seek into her skin, which made it shiver slightly. A tell tale sign that it was perhaps time to get into a drier location.
Roxy's grin mimicked his own. "Not even if I beat you up? You'd still think I was nice?" Her eyes held a curious glimmer in them. How could one think another was still nice no matter what they did? It just didn't make much sense to her. For as second there, she noticed he had stopped stuttering. Which made her wonder a bit. "I don't know if it's the water or that tone of voice you just spoke it, but somethings sending shivers up my spine."

He watched her tail sweep across the water with a distracted fascination, but was shaken abruptly from his dazed state when he felt her shiver against him. Instinctively, he pressed closer to offer more of his warmth to her, and noted to himself that they would have to move soon, if he didn't want to risk her getting sick. Still, he was reluctant to relinquish this close contact, and curled his larger form around hers as much as possible without crushing her.
He stopped to consider this a moment, a look of concentration donning his features as he pondered the possibility of that statement- but after a minute, he grinned and shook his head. "Nope. I know that you would never beat me up for no reason- even if you did right now, it would be to prove a point, and that's a reason." He nodded sagely to himself, smiling lightly as he looked back down at her.
"Ah, I suppose we should get out of the water, then..." he murmured quietly, looking back towards the water almost mournfully.

She was taken back a bit when he curled around her. But the warmth of his larger body was welcomed as she leaned her head against his shoulder for a moment. Her ears twitching every now and again.
"Meh, I'm not in the mood to figure out a point to prove right now anyway." She laughed lightly before picking up her head to look up at him. He sure had a strange way of thinking about things. That hadn't really crossed her mind all that much. Though even if she did try to beat him up, she'd probably not do all that much damage in the first place.
Giving a tug on a piece of his wet mane, she tilted her head slightly. "I'm sure I could stand the coldness for a bit longer."

Another pleasant warmth unfurled in his stomach as her head leaned against his shoulder, and he smiled sincerely as he gently rested his own chin on top of her ebony locks. His smile only brightened at her proclamation of being able to stand the cold for a while longer, a low chuckle rising in his throat. The rare, confident baritone he had used before returned for a moment as he spoke in her ear.
"That is why I could never believe that you are mean."
