"I can understand why ponies avoid this place." Granyl commented quietly, mostly to himself. Midnight's breaths worried him, as it was a sign of the effect this situation had on her. He really wasn't feeling the most confident, either, but usually didn't show it. He trotted closer to the mare, glancing down and nodding at her as he decided to try and reassure her she'd be safe. "Calm yourself... Such rushing heartbeats and breaths will slowly hinder your lifespan. Push forward knowing that I'll ensure that we'll make it through to your home."
He had no way to really repay her for her generosity at the moment; helping her get home was the best he could do. Though he didn't like the thought of fighting in general, self defense was self defense. He was willing to put his strength to use under these circumstances, and help the mare if needed. Though, still... Timberwolves would probably be more dangerous than he expected. Or maybe not. He didn't have a lot of knowledge about them, so he simply assumed he could do something about it if needed.
"Alright?" He firmly kept a smile, the air began feeling somewhat colder. The forest seemed like it wanted to give him the chills in more ways than one.
