[Despite how many times she has called him a fool... Maybe she is one, too. To let herself feel, as he kisses her, that perhaps she really could believe in all the things he offered her. That she could show him her weaknesses and not be judged, that he would look at her the same way no matter what he saw, how pathetic her tears were... That maybe he really would chose her side no matter what, that he would protect her even in those times when she still vehemently denied that she needed protection.
Her fingers tighten in his clothing as they kiss because... because the rational part of her still thinks he will come to his senses, the weak, emotional part of her doesn't want him to go after she's avoided him for weeks and tried fleeing from his offer of affection. Even as the kiss breaks and he presses their foreheads together from his borrowed, equal height...
She doesn't let go. Her breathing is shallow and slightly too quick, her cheeks still red... and one of her back legs is half-up, hoof quivering in the air and occasionally pawing at the earth. It feels like any words she could conjure up would be the wrong ones, her protests seem stupid, now-
So she doesn't say anything at all, waiting for him to break the silence instead as she inhales his scent from up close.]
