He was glad his blunt accusation wasn't taken in a harsh manner as he didn't mean it in that way at all. If anything, he'd sought to break the tension a little with some light hearted teasing and was glad to find he'd hit his mark when she gave him a smile and even a little chuckle. Satisfaction gleamed in the Vanner stallion's gaze though his expression softened when she admitted she was bad at hiding it. "I would be a liar myself if I didn't admit I was glad to see you weren't as fine as you say. I don't want you to feel like you're in this alone, no matter what the circumstances." He assured her, hoping she took his words to heart and knew he meant every word. When he stomped his hoof, he certainly didn't mean to scare her and for an awful moment, he was afraid that was exactly what he'd done. Her flinch was a tell tale of some past drama and he instantly hated himself for his reaction. He'd hate for their growing closeness to dissipate all because of his bone headed action without thinking. "I'm sorry....I didn't meant to spook you. My emotions got the best of me." He tried to apologize, his gaze full of shame as his lips grimaced in sorrow. He let her take her time after that, even offering his muzzle for comfort but he stopped shy of touching her, not wanting to take something when it might not be wanted. He asked for permission silently, waiting with bated breath for her response. For a moment, there was just a sense of waiting and he started to doubt himself. Maybe she didn't want his touch at all. Maybe she was disgusted he even thought she might. So when her head suddenly tilted and her face pressed to his, he let out a breath of relief and closed his eyes for a moment, savoring the touch. He felt ike something big had just happened, something momentous, and he cherished it with every ounce of his being. The silence dragged on around them but he let his body relax, wanting her to relax along with him. When she shifted so that they were beside each other, his lips tugged into a smile and he finally re-opened his eyes, his gaze falling upon her gently but without expectation. He wanted her to know that the ball was truly in her court. She was the one in charge at this point and he would take everything she would allow, nothing more. Her head rested on his hip and he smiled, resting a back hoof as he pressed softly against her. He let her take all that she needed from the touch, not offering words until she did because he didn't want her to feel like he was expecting any kind of conversation or action from this. Her accepting his touch was more than enough. He lowered his head and let his ears droop in contentment, letting out another slow breath. This was what it was all about for him. Breaking down barriers inch by torturous inch and slowly gaining the trust of the mares who called this place home.....this made everything he sacrificed worth it.
