He'd stopped, hadn't he? Well, that would make sense since he turned towards her and hadn't tripped on himself, so he probably wasn't continuing to walk in the direction they had been -- it was some combination of half a step back and one sideways towards her. He found himself at her side, gently up against her. He again nuzzled her cheek, moving slightly to groom at her fur from there to at the base of her ear. Mal was attentive, very much so -- he wanted her to tell him what she wanted, whether she wanted the chase, the game, something. As far as he saw himself, he was here to fulfill all her desires, not just his own, and looked on her with a sort of worshipful awe that had been dragged to the surface by her touch. It had been effective on a normal day, but super effective now, 1-hit KOing Mal's ability to string words together basically immediately.
