She didn't expect the mare to recognize her or trust her at first, so she gave the female space and let her neutral body language help to assure the other that she meant her no harm. Relief flickered in her two toned gaze as the mare finally gave a smile and she saw her body relax a little, as if she somehow knew that Monster was okay. That was a start, anyway. Of course, it wasn't too soon after that that she noticed the mare withdraw a little, her very body seeming to shrivel a little as shame touched her pretty features and Monster once again had to quell the growing anger in her chest at whatever fool brought this upon her and made her feel the shame of their actions. Her gaze only softened as the mare looked to her own hooves, wanting to assure her that she could meet her gaze without judgement. At least when she offered her muzzle, the mare replied in kind after a moment, letting a shy breath out before drawing back again. She greeted her but did not give a name and Monster let it go for now. Perhaps she needed to earn her trust more first. That's alright. She could do that. She dipped her head instead in acknowledgement of the mare's greeting, letting the silence come upon them once more though her eyes flickered with concern at the mare's growing discomfort. She thought she was helping make her feel more comfortable by allowing the silence but instead it only seemed to heighten the other mare's awkwardness. Finally the mare looked up and asked a question. Monster felt hope blossom in her chest at the mare's attempt to start conversation, even if the subject she chose was less than a comfortable place to start. Still, Monster would go with it. There was no judgement in her eyes as she thought briefly before giving a small nod, her eyes kind and patient as she searched the mare's features, watching for her reaction as she spoke. "Not in memory, but perhaps in other ways." She let that sink in for a moment before she took a breath and continued. "I hear there are plants a mare can eat that will....make their womb unlivable. If you would like, I can show them to you....if that's truly what you want." She chose her words carefully, wanting the mare to know she did have a choice, but letting the caution of her words speak for themselves as far as the weight she would carry in turn for her deed. She could understand someone not wanting to face the offspring of someone they didn't like or want upon them. The child could perhaps be a catalyst for bitterness and resentment. That was no way for a child to come into the world, in her opinion. But the mare would be taking a life, a life that could perhaps help heal her if she allowed an open mind and an open heart. Monster wanted her to weigh all the options before she made a decision. She could tell the mare was very uncomfortable with even asking such a thing and her heart went out to her for finding the courage to even voice the question in the first place. It had to be hard. She tried to speak once more and Monster pricked her ears attentively, but nothing else came. It seemed the mare was at a loss for words at anything further and her chest only tightened more in sympathy. She exhaled and shook her head slowly. "You do not need to voice it yet if you're not ready. Some day you WILL need to voice it, even if it's not to anyone else to hear. That may be the only way you can truly face what happened, but it doesn't have to be today." She assured the mare, her lips tugging into a gentle smile in hopes that it would give her some strength for the task ahead. Wanting to offer the mare some sort of light in this conversation, she then changed the subject. "How are you liking Paradise?"
