[There is a long pause there, because really, he hadn't been expecting an answer like that. He probably should have, Concord is just so ridiculously honest like that. But somehow this unicorn still surprises Ali again and again.
After that stunned pause though, Ali breaks out into a small smile. It's a rarity on him, as he usually smirks in victory when he's doing anything besides being a grump, but it's a genuine smile. His words are similarly less biting and more genuine sounding too.]
