Aero pushed off the door and let his horse moce towards her. He went back to brushing, debating if he should even tell her. Though, he gave up and decided to, simply because Jasmine considered as a friend. "Jasmine confessed her love to me." He replied and glanced at her. "I was going to turn her down but she did it herself. I don't see her as that anymore, not since I was twelve." He stated.

Alicia stepped forward and smiled, petting the horses muzzle lovingly, brushing the dust from his face gently to help Aero out a little. “Ah.” Alicia glanced to him and shifted her weight slightly. “Is there a reason as to why you lost interest in her?”

[nocтιѕ;]

Aero stopped and thought for a second. Why did he lose interest in Jasmine? Going back to brushing, he thought for a moment, until it became clear. One of the servants had a thing for her, plus his father was quite strict who he has feelings for. "One, my father. He never was pleased when I liked someone within the castle that was.. not royal. Proclaimed I needed to keep it 'royal'. Two, well.. there was a servant who liked her. I wanted them to be happy because Jasmine enjoyed his company as well." Aero replied. "Ever since, I never felt a romantic way for her." If he did, he would have never accepted the marriage deal, and that Alicia would have never been here. It seems his life has no need for love anymore.

Alicia watched him silently as he thought. It was funny, when he thought, it was quite adorable. No wonder Jasmine likes him so much. “Ah. I understand that. My Morher wouldn’t have let me be with anyone ever unless it benefited her.” Alicia said this quietly and looked to his horse, scratching behind his ear. “Hmm? Is he still here?” Alicia asked quietly, wondering if maybe that combo could work with Jasmine. “Well, changes can always be made?” Alicia said this quietly to herself and she frowned. “Do you love anyone? Other than your blood related family members?” She was curious... very. She loved him in a way that was different. Not fully... love. Somehow his Brother got that.

"He is, just never around Jasmine now that they have aged. He spends more time as a ranch hand." Aero replied, finishing his horse's brush. He set the brush on the frame and messed with his horse's mane. He glanced at her as she whispered to herself. "Changes?" He questioned. What about change? "Not many have caught my eye." A lie. One has but he cannot say. "Why do you ask?" He questioned, turning his head towards her. "Does someone have a crush on someone?" He teased.

[Trots]

“Ah. It would be nice to meet him one time.” Alicia hummed a little and smiled from the thought of it. “Hmm? Yeah. Affection can always change to others, or it can be shared. I only have one heart but oh how I love many people. Many here, actually. More than at home.” Alicia admitted this quietly and looked to him with a light brush of red to her cheeks. “Umm... perhaps. Though that will remain a secret from you love.” Alicia wrinkled her nose and looked away somewhat embarrassed.

[nocтιѕ;]

Aero looked around, before pulling down a balnket, setting itnonto his horse's back. "Maybe you will. Maybe not. It depends." He stated and looked at her. "Can it really?" He questioned.
"Is that so? No one you care for that you miss?" He questioned. He noticed her light blush and looked away, not sure if he should feel good or bad about it. "Ah, well.. alright." He replied. He was starting to curious who this person is. Though the list is limited, unless she fell for someone at first sight. Other than that, it is only the chef, Zagan or himself.

[Trots]

“Mhm. I get you Mr. Protective.” Alicia teased with a small stick of her tongue out before going back to giving affection to his horse. “Yes. It can change... but... ah yes i miss a few. My Nurse mother and the maids who raised me. Otherwise, no. Just them.” Alicia shrugged and sighed, smiling to him before smiling brightly to his horse. “Oh yes. I fell in love with your horse.” She joked, though in a way it was true. She did love the large animal. Hmm, she had seen the chef but never personally met him. Zagan... she loved him but knew it wouldn’t be easy, and if Aero were to like her, she wouldn’t mind saying it back. Her mind would be somewhat split but her heart would easily adapt to manage attention to that one person.

[nocтιѕ;]

"Not protective." He reassured. Lie. "Just not sure where he is, I never manage to keep track of them all." He stated. He looked at her as she speaks abiut who she has affection for and smiled just slightly, before pushing it off. Emotions were yestersay. Today, he can be himself. Someone who just doesn't care. No, caring is Zagan's job.
He cares too much about everything. "Ever thought of going to see her?" He questioned. He chuckled slightly. "Wouldn't be so surprised." He replied and came to the door of the stall. He glanced around, trying to find where the ranch hands moved his saddle. "Excuse me." He muttered as he slid out from the door and headed down the path to find all the saddles hung up. He grabbed his, one that had his name on it. Carrying back over, he muttered yet another 'excuse me' and moved into the stall. From there, he was busy placing the saddle on correctly, and straping it down tight, yet keeping it loose so his horse doesn't complain.

[Trots]

“Ah. Alright.” Alicia shrugged and hummed quietly to herself. She looked to his small smile and that simply warmed her body. Even the smallest of joy coming from him made her happy. “My nurse Mother? I have, but my Mother never told me where she had gone. In this case I never could. She never wanted me to see her again. This is probably because she tried teaching me how to be ‘real’ you could say. She did do well with this. I’m not too picky I hope.”

“Mhmm. Such a cute boy.” Alicia made a little baby voice to the horse and gave him a little kiss to his muzzle. She let Aero pass by when he left and came back, and she watched him strap the saddle, seeing how he did it. She wanted to learn how to do it, but she was a bit nervous to ask.
