((Bahahaha! LostGosling, I LOVE your phrasing of "contemptible twist"! Great wording!))
Livius was taken aback at first at her words and they echoed through his brain: "...you have me now". For how long he stared at her in surprise, violet eyes wide and jaw slightly ajar, he didn't know. When he finally realized what his facial expression must be, he blinked and flushed a deep red beneath his dark coat, so that it was visible on his cheeks even from afar.
"Well, gosh, I-I-I, uh..." Closing his eyes and fighting down the wave of heat that blasted his skin, he centered himself before he stuttered further. 'Start as friends, go from there. Start as friends, go from there,' was the mantra that echoed in his mind. He cleared his throat, opened his eyes, and gave Dolce a charming smile. "And you have me, Dolce. It's awfully nice to know that I have such a wonderful friend so early on in joining the herd." He glanced over at Halo, who had begun to browse nearby. "I feel like I might not have made the best impression with some of the other Equids..." he murmured softly. Too bad as well... He truly isn't a bad Equid. Just a competitor. I shall treat him with respect, especially since he's the second-in-command. I won't stoop to any level. I wonder what will happen with the new mare though...? His attention shifted briefly to the newcomer, who appeared to be headed towards both Halo and Canad.
