private When Sunset Smiles (Private RP)

Fender's smile would hopefully offer reassurance for what he would say next. "Well, I don't think I've pulled one of those Oh, poor you.'s. So...if you want, you could tell me your story. I don't think anypony deserves bad in their life...and I don't expect you to lie. It's not hard to tell if somepony is a liar, or if they're hiding something, etc. You've came off as quite honest so far, and humble. If anything, if you hide something from somepony, I couldn't blame you." He frowned, "You look...abused. I can't even begin to wonder why...it's ridiculous. Those scars. They don't belong on you." There was a rising anger in his voice, but it remained normal. The anger wasn't directed at himself, or the mare next to him. It was for those who had mistreated her.

@, 
Sunset rubbed her visible eye, mostly in an attempt to wipe away the tears building up.
"U-Um, I..." her voice broke and she had to take a breath before trying to speak again.

"I-I-I.... A-as you've p-probably alr-ready guessed... I-I'm an orphan... I-I grew up in th-the local o-orphanage on Prince Blueblood I-island..." She had to take another breath before continuing.
"Wh-when I was about three... Th-the orphanage was... b-bought out... A-a-and in-instead of changing i-it... Th-they kept it a-as an o-orphanage... S-sort of..."
"Th-they went t-to a different foal e-every day and b-beat them... U-Until they found me; I-I had been h-h-hiding... I-instead of every once in a eh-while, they came a-and found m-m-me.. E-every day..." Her earlier attempt to wipe away tears had been stupid, as now they were streaming down her cheeks from the pain and fear of the memories, but she forced herself to finish.
"A-after a y-year or so... Th-they... They'd b-bring in kn-kn-knives... A-and it's p-pretty obvious what they did..." She lifted her mane to show the damaged left side of her face, not that he hadn't seen it already. 
"Th-they'd also yell at m-me... T-tell me I was worthless... A-A waste of space... Th-th-things like that..." she added uneasily. At this point, she was trembling and her tear-filled eyes looked terrified yet unfocused. While she was telling him what had happened, she was reliving it in her mind.
"A-after a few y-years, they were caught..."

Fender patiently listened until she stopped. He took a deep breath, to drown out the angry feelings he had. His face was one that was saddened, and he immediately pulled the trembling mare into a caring hug. His hooves around her, he began rubbing and patting her back, hoping to offer comfort. "Shh...you're with me now...you'll be okay. I promise." He whispered.

@, 
Sunset let Fender pull her into another embrace, and his comforting words and actions eventually calmed her down enough to stop trembling for the most part and bring her out of her memories. She buried her face in his coat, sobbing quietly. She would likely scold herself for this later but right not... She needed somepony. Maybe she always had, and hadn't realized it? Or nopony had cared enough? Either way, something made her want Fender to wrap his forelegs around her and never let go.

Fender continued hugging, rubbing, and patting the mare...still trying to offer comfort. He felt his coat absorbing her tears, and lifted her head up for a moment. It wasn't because he was irritated, or anything of that sort. He lifted her head up to his more so to let her know that he was indeed there. He used a hoof and carefully wiped away some of the tears from her face, and pulled her back into a hug. "Shh...don't cry. You're okay." His voice had a slight rasp to it.

@, 
After some time, Sunset's tears dried, and her sobs subsided. She anxiously and reluctantly leaned away from Fender and backed up a bit.. She still wanted to be held, but she didn't know if he still wanted to hold her, and didn't want to seem needy. She also wasn't used to being in such a close proximity to somepony else.
"S-sorry..." she mumbled, staring at the ground. She was embarrassed by the fact that her voice was still quivering,
