Despite all his level headedness in most everything, Thrain allowed himself to go a little dreamy eyed when Yuzhi finally replied. There was something nice about her, about a promise to help the other. It was so simple, he could not fathom why he felt so at ease so quickly with her, could not reason why this felt so momentous. Distracted with such, he grew quiet for a few seconds and failed to realize at all that she had been staring. Not that he would have minded, of course. Had he known she was doing so he might have encouraged her to do the action all she liked and in turn joined in, only for her.
"I do not think anything could render me separate from my noble attitude." His chin lifted, but only after he'd shot a dashing show of teeth to the mare at his elbow.
"But I thank you for your kindness. It is good to know that I am liked by one so sweet as yourself." Surely that would make her blush and Thrain, as much as he liked to think himself on a high moral pedestal, found no reason not to tease Yuzhi. After all, she exhibited such fantastic reactions that he felt it perfectly harmless to poke her. There was no doubt a little tornado in her chest should she be angered, but as she had yet to unleash it on him, he figured he was safe to have a little fun.
The whir of the automatic doors along with the puff of artificial air that bounced against his face made Thrain initially react poorly to the maul. He frowned, he huffed a little and his lope turned into a march, but it only lasted a few steps. Once inside he felt himself ease a little and he looked down at the mare.
"Maybe you understand... Why is it inside?" That seemed to shun nature, to shun their homeland and that was cowardice.
