Orfe was like: "You're lucky there's a door separating us."
pinned ears and all.

Eh, he started with airplane ears to the side indicating he's relaxed, then as soon as Ikze spoke his ears tensed up and one of them swiveled towards Ikze indicating attention.

Then they started relaxing again as Ikze petted him. There's a brief 1-second moment where they are actually pinned to the back when Ikze touched his nostrils, so he didn't like that. They then relaxed again when Ikze touched his chin and when his tongue went out and Ikze started playing with it they relaxed even further (he likes it).

As the tongue play continues the ears tense up slightly and started swiveling to the back (not pinned!) indicating he's alert/tense, so maybe he found the experience novel, maybe there's a sound behind him that caught his attention, or maybe he started to get tired of it and wants it to end soon. Or maybe a combination of all three.

As for Drejour... can't really get a read on him, other than that he's alert and paying attention to Ikze throughout their entire interaction. The tail swishing is concerning though.

Dude is known for handling temperamental horses and how to handle them (like sweep tosho)

Dream Journey is the only horse he's ever said he's actually afraid of because Dream Journey actually goes at him with the intent to hurt and kill.

And the stable hands actually say Dream Journey likes him.
