Pak smiled up at Zelos more brightly, his wings fanning the air twice in relief. Oh, wonderful! He was concerned that he had hurt Zelos, even accidentally! "Hey, maybe if I WANTED too... I'm pretty tough!" He grinned up at Zelos, giggling in reply to his silent laugh.
But as Zelos' ears drooped, despite his valiant efforts to remain cheerful for Pak's sake, Pak's ears fell as well. Oh! How could he forget how worried Zelos and Hummingbird must be? How cruel of him, to be giggling and laughing when all of their companions had dissapeared, possibly dead!
"I am sorry." He said softly, looking down, his wings slowly folding against his back in sympathetic sorrow and guilt. "I ... I thought you meant something else, maybe." He murmured, nibbling on the edge of his small hoof guiltily. Oh, now they would be reminded of how sad they were, to lose all their friends! And they had been so happy just a moment before! It was all his fault!!
But ... Hey, Pak had an idea! His ears perked for a moment in thought while Zelos spoke, and by the time he had forced a smile for Pak's sake, Pak already had his next plan ready to go. But this plan didn't involve either flutter pony, so he'd need to wait until they were sleeping to put it into motion.
"Well, I'm glad to be helping, at least." He responded with a small smile, looking up at Zelos again. "But I shouldn't be keeping you up; I mean, I'm sure sleep would be nice, right?" He asked with a small, embarassed grin, one ear flicking back as he looked down at the pillow.
