Human body language doesn't translate well on a horse, but his embarrassed laugh comes out as a whinny. The blush is thankfully hidden. Most jokes come easily to Beast Boy, but he spent his entire life before Xavier's interacting almost exclusively with family. It'll take him a while to catch up on that front.
At the little kick-he'll so get you back for that, Luvander!-he takes off at a walk, and works his way up to canter slowly. He can tell by the way his friend rides that he isn't experienced, and he doesn't want to lose him, after all. Beast Boy carries the two of them in a quick loop around to the back of the horde, keeping to the grass to avoid causing much noise.
It doesn't work out perfectly. Someone spots the green horse and shouts out, so he charges straight into the body of the force before the U-Men can react to their presence, knocking armoured bodies over easily. Then, when they're surrounded, he begins to change.
There's a scary moment when the green mane is sucked into his spine, leaving nothing to grab on to, but it's only a second later that the gap between his shoulder blades is wide enough to act as a saddle on its own. Luvander shoots upward as Beast Boy grows in every direction, achieving 80 tonnes in the space of about four seconds. Argentinosaurus is one of the biggest forms in his arsenal, and the transformation alone was enough to knock several U-Men over. Not the scariest dino he could have chosen, teeth and claw-wise, but 115 feet of dinosaur is impressive enough on its own, he figures. Beast Boy turns as quickly as this body allows, sending his tail sweeping through the crowd, then fills his massive lungs with air and roars.
If anyone was still asleep out there, they aren't any more.
