It is ironic that Sylvain is oblivious to her turmoil. Normally, he would be looking for such adolescent responses in his female companions. Attempting to find it even when it was not there to be found. Because he has already chosen to see the better in her, and in so doing deny himself the fancy that she might be susceptible to his charm in the slightest, he does not see it.
That, and he's distracted by his horse. "I'd believe he takes them with better grace than most men," he returns her rueful smile. He's teasing himself as well as his gender, heedless of the true implications she might be imagining in the conversation. He's such a blind fool when it comes to those he truly wants the approval of.
He mounts up gracefully, settling down slowly as Híril tosses her mane. "That sounds lovely. I'll follow your lead." He doesn't know the lay of the land here, after all. He clicks his tongue and his mare takes up an easy trot to catch Windfola, though Sylvain gives the stallion a respectful amount of space.
