[Maya's not quite had as much physical evidence of someone hurting her before as the deep blue-and-red hoof-shaped bruises Makoto's bucking had left on her stomach. Maya'd never considered herself lucky to wear a uniform like the one she had (though she was lucky Rohan obliged to help make her more) before she'd needed to cover it, but the purple obi really helped her push the offense into the back of her mind.
She only hopes now that her injuries being covered will also help Makoto ignore it, at least for long enough for Maya to give her the message. Maya has her doubts when she enters the barn and climbs up the stairs that Makoto even cares to know, but before Maya has the chance to convince herself otherwise, she's practically already upon her friend.]
Makoto?
[She calls, browspots knit together.]
I'm sorry, it's just- I heard something that... maybe you needed to know.
Reasonably after receiving the Rosch news
