His eyebrows rose further as he went on, his expression growing more perplexed... And then there was a Zevran he'd never seen before. Abel was so used to his friend's constant self-assurance and confidence, how he was always ready with a witty response to everything, and yet here, now, he looked... so uncertain, almost vulnerable - no, uncomfortable was a better word - and like he either didn't want to continue or couldn't find the words to do so. The difference in demeanor was like night and day, and for a moment the taller blond didn't really know what to think or say. Was this what he was like deep down, past all the self-confidence and innuendos and spontaneous nature? Was that all an act? Or did his usual mindset get chipped that easily?
"What did... mn," he stopped himself with a light frown; that question wasn't important. What was important was how concerned his friend seemed over this - which was quite a bit, if the drastic change was any indication. It wasn't right, it wasn't him - or maybe it was, but what did he know? Either way he obviously wasn't comfortable, and Abel found himself aiming to fix it. Setting aside his curiosity for now and prioritizing his thoughts, his puzzled expression morphed into a soft smile without even a trace of malice or humor in it. The last thing he wanted was for Zevran to think he was laughing at him or making fun of him or something. "Well no, it wasn't nothing, but it's more like..." He paused to sort his thoughts, his brows furrowing a bit. "It's more like it was nothing that needs to be repaid in some way. You weren't asking for a favor or anything, you needed help. You asked me for help, so I helped you because it was the right thing to do, and because you're my friend. I could never ask or expect you to give me something for that."

Ah, this was better. Abel's smile brightened a bit, and he clapped his free hand on his friend's shoulder. "That's good. And thank you, too. And," he went on, removing his hand and gesturing with it palm-up, "if it's an easier pill to swallow, you can just think I was selfish and did it more for myself. If I let you collapse somewhere and possibly dramatically expire, who would I hang out and spend an afternoon making lewd jokes with? No one, and what fun would that be? None at all. It'd be such a terrible shame," he concluded with an exaggerated dramatic sigh - then grinned at Zev. "Still want to find some games to play?"

"It certainly seems that way, doesn't it?" Abel grinned broadly and hooked a thumb into his pocket. Just the one, since his other hand and arm in general were a little more occupied carrying things. "Ah, that's good! Obedience, or at least cooperation, will come in time, I'm sure. Pokemon training can be hard, especially if you've never done it before or lived somewhere where it wasn't really a common thing. I've been around pokemon my whole life but I didn't actually start training them until a few years ago. I knew a few things so I didn't start at the bottom, but I started pretty close to it I think. There's definitely a lot to learn, yeah, but you'll get there if you keep at it." So saying, he offered his friend an encouraging pat on the shoulder.
After a bit they found and participated in coconut shy before finding several other rides to ride or various fair games to try their hands at. A handful of small prizes were won between them and stashed in Zevran's basket for safekeeping during the remainder of the fair, and it was late in the afternoon when Abel came to a halt beside Zevran, looking up at a large wooden arch that formed the entrance to the corn maze. "Here it is!" He announced somewhat needlessly, his colorful eyes tracing the cornstalk designs painted onto the arch before he turned to flash an excited grin to Zevran. "Are you ready to get lost?"
