She didn't know what it was about the silent colt but something about him tugged at her heart strings and made her want to help him. Rougaru might not like having another stallion around but she didn't feel the colt was a threat. If anything, he might make a good ally in the future if he was shown kindness now. She felt her motherly instincts kicking in and she wanted to keep him safe, to show him that kindness so he could grow in confidence into the stallion he was meant to be. She knew Rougaru trusted her and gave her all the same authority he had. He would respect her decision if she welcomed the blue splashed male to stay. So she decided in that moment that that's exactly what was going to happen. He continued to watch her with so mcuh hesitation as if afraid she would turn and attack at any moment. The idea saddened her, to think that ayoung colt had to fear such a reaction from other horses. Did that mean those he had once trusted turned on him? Is that why he was in the ocean to begin with? Her expression softened with sympathy as her tail gave a gentle swish. She kept her body neutral, not giving him any reason to distrust her. When she grabbed a bite of grass, it seemed to stir his curiosity and finally the colt relaxed a little under her smile, moving forward to stretch his nose out in greeting. The smile mirrored on his own face made her heart feel full. The squeaking sound from his lips made her move that much slower as she stretched her own muzzle out to meet him halfway. She stopped just before touching, breathing in his scent and letting him get his fill of her own. She kept her ears pricked toward him, wanting him to know he had nothing to fear from her. When he looked toward the ocean, she could see the uncertainty on his face and her skin shivered at the thought of that cold water. She didn't want to see him go back into that water any time soon. Surely he was exhausted and freezing. At least the climate was more temperate in Paradise. He stomped his hoof suddenly, his eyes distant as if his thoughts were a million miles away. Monster waited patiently, tilting her head as she watched him. He side stepped away from the water with a snort, showing his apprehension before he looked at the jungle and she saw a new look in his eyes, a happier look. He then looked to her and reached out with more confidence this time, tapping her shoulder with his nose. When he stepped toward the brush, she smiled again and nodded. Knowing she'd have to figure out some way to communicate with him and talking seemed only to frustrate him right now, she chose to use body language. Turning toward the water, she pointed her nose then shook her head vehemently. "You will not go to the water," she tried to say with her gestures. Then she pointed to the jungle and stomped her hoof, smiling again before she nodded. "You will stay here," she tried to say this time. Stepping in the same direction as he had gone, she reached out to touch the brush then looked at him and smiled again before nudging her nose toward the heart of the jungle. She was welcoming him to go further inland if he wanted to and she would stay with him, at least for now.
