With spring coming in just around the corner, romance seems to be blossoming in the air. How do you show off your physique to any potential romance interests? Hippo giggled a bit, "I'm not sure that there is much to show, but I'd be willing to bet that my colors might attract a few potentials!"

Would you have the courage to go up and speak to your crush, or are you way too shy? He fluttered his tail a bit, "Im not sure to be honest! I've never really had a crush before!"

Would you prefer a romance that you rush straight into, almost dizzying with how fast it goes, or do you think its better to take your time and go nice and slow? Hippo twirled around a bit, "I'm sure that either would be fun in their own way, but I would prefer to have a romance that lasted over a fling. Though a fling would be fun!"

What sort of traits do you think you would look for in a potential mate? What is important to you? He smiled widely, "I think I would like someone with a lot of bright colors, someone who was just as intelligent as myself and playful! Someone who would explore endlessly with me!" He wiggled all about in his excitement.

Do you consider yourself lucky in love, or has it always managed to evade you? Hippo tilted his head a bit, "Really I don't think it's happened either way. Maybe someday it will, but it hasn't yet!"

Would you have the stamina to raise a new set of foals now, or do you think that would be too exhausting? He giggled a bit, "I think that it would be an adventure! And any adventure is good at any time!"

With spring coming in just around the corner, romance seems to be blossoming in the air. How do you show off your physique to any potential romance interests? Thalia's wing fluttered at such a notion of showing off. There's only one stallion she could imagine showing off too.
"Well, anyone who sees me will probably see me flying first. It's my main form of transportation."

Would you have the courage to go up and speak to your crush, or are you way too shy? A shy smile creeps onto Thalia's face. "Oh, I would do anything to talk to him again."

Would you prefer a romance that you rush straight into, almost dizzying with how fast it goes, or do you think its better to take your time and go nice and slow? "Oh... I think it's better to take your time and develope a strong love between two Soquili before making any rash decisions. But..." She blushes and her eyes turn to the floor. "I can't pretend I'm not guilty of making rash decisions."

What sort of traits do you think you would look for in a potential mate? What is important to you? "Someone kind... Someone who's protective... Someone I can talk to without being fearful of what I say... Just.... Someone like him... Or exactly him."

Do you consider yourself lucky in love, or has it always managed to evade you? "I found the real thing once, only I was young, and let it slip through my mane. Once I find him again, however, I will never leave his side. I just hope he feels the same way about me..."

Would you have the stamina to raise a new set of foals now, or do you think that would be too exhausting? Thalia's eyes fly open with surprise. "Foals?!"

With spring coming in just around the corner, romance seems to be blossoming in the air. How do you show off your physique to any potential romance interests? Of course I have my strength, though my only romantic interest is my mate,

Would you have the courage to go up and speak to your crush, or are you way too shy? Why would I not? My rather is a proud and noble warrior, and I am his daughter. I would approach my crush and let them know how I feel.

Would you prefer a romance that you rush straight into, almost dizzying with how fast it goes, or do you think its better to take your time and go nice and slow? It depends on the male. If we hit it off, I could see going quickly. I am not sure I would choose a timid male, that would take too long to coax.

What sort of traits do you think you would look for in a potential mate? What is important to you? I would like them to be loyal, strong of hoof and courageous. I would like them to be like my father, who is very loyal to mother, and a stallion who could keep up with me..

Do you consider yourself lucky in love, or has it always managed to evade you? I have never had any foals, though I have pursued several males. So, I have not been lucky in love. Though I can wait for the right male to come along.

Would you have the stamina to raise a new set of foals now, or do you think that would be too exhausting? I am still young and strong. I could most certainly handle a few foals.

"I do take good care of my appearance, you know. If I wanted, I could catch all kinds of attention. Just flare my wings and give it a strut, I'll have all the boys staring!"

Would you have the courage to go up and speak to your crush, or are you way too shy?
"My what now? Pfft, if I had one of those, I wouldn't for long. What's the use in keeping quiet? Nothing will ever change then. If you want something, go for it!"

Would you prefer a romance that you rush straight into, almost dizzying with how fast it goes, or do you think its better to take your time and go nice and slow?
"I can't say I have much experience in the matter, but...the idea of getting caught up in a whirlwind...it sounds both exciting and frightening...but I'd hope it'd be less dangerous than the real thing, so maybe that makes it worth it for the excitement, right?"

What sort of traits do you think you would look for in a potential mate? What is important to you?
He's got to know how to have fun. I won't have any sticks in the mud. He needs a good sense of humor and not be afraid to laugh at himself. I'm not."

Do you consider yourself lucky in love, or has it always managed to evade you?
"No luck so far. Suppose I haven't really been looking through. From what I hear, you have more luck finding it when you're not looking, but...you'd have to look at least a little right, else...how would you ever find it if you're just hiding under a rock?"

Would you have the stamina to raise a new set of foals now, or do you think that would be too exhausting?
"Oh goodness, that's a frightening thought! Little me's! Hahaha! Hopefully they wouldn't be too much like me, or I'm not sure how one 'me' could keep up with--wait, you said 'foalS' didn't you?"

With spring coming in just around the corner, romance seems to be blossoming in the air. How do you show off your physique to any potential romance interests?
"Hmm...I'm not really one to show off...but I suppose there's a difference between that and being ignored. I've polished my hooves and horn, my tail is groomed...I had to shoo my sister away or she'd have been trying to style my hair as well. I really think that's enough, don't you?"

Would you have the courage to go up and speak to your crush, or are you way too shy?
"Crush? Who told you? I don't have-- I mean...err...of course I would. If such a thing existed."

Would you prefer a romance that you rush straight into, almost dizzying with how fast it goes, or do you think its better to take your time and go nice and slow?
"I prefer not to rush into things. It's a mark of a good leader not to take unnecessary risks or be unprepared. Though my sister would insist that I'm dragging my hooves instead when it comes to relationships, I see it simply as being cautious."

What sort of traits do you think you would look for in a potential mate? What is important to you?
"Hmm...calm, respectful, but intelligent and independant in her own right. Someone I can have evening conversations with that challenge my mind."

Do you consider yourself lucky in love, or has it always managed to evade you?
"I...haven't exactly been looking. Though, I've received a bit of pressure to do so from certain family who insists that I shouldn't be 'alone'..."

Would you have the stamina to raise a new set of foals now, or do you think that would be too exhausting?
"Oh great spirits...I would like to think that after dealing with my sister growing up, that no foal could be as bad as putting up with her. I'm sure I'll be proven wrong though."

With spring coming in just around the corner, romance seems to be blossoming in the air. How do you show off your physique to any potential romance interests?
"I generally don't aim to show off my physique, as it is my wit and charm that attract potential companions."

Would you have the courage to go up and speak to your crush, or are you way too shy?
"When I was young I would have been far to shy. Now I certainly do, since I know the worst they can do is not show interest."

Would you prefer a romance that you rush straight into, almost dizzying with how fast it goes, or do you think its better to take your time and go nice and slow?
"Both certainly have their merrits." He had had and enjoyed aspects of both, so there was no reason to turn either down.

What sort of traits do you think you would look for in a potential mate? What is important to you?
"Being accepting of myself and my family. That is always the most important thing. Second is honesty and trust." Being upfront about everything was important to him, that way there was less chance of anyone being hurt.

Do you consider yourself lucky in love, or has it always managed to evade you?
"I've had my fair share of luck and my fair share of missteps."

Would you have the stamina to raise a new set of foals now, or do you think that would be too exhausting?
"That is the oddest thing really. Zuleikha and I have tried and tried for foals and yet...nothing. And when I met Lelani during the lover's moon, foals came swiftly afterward." Things happened how they happened, he supposed. "I do look forward to meeting them and hopefully I will be able to be in their lives more than my father was in mine."

With spring coming in just around the corner, romance seems to be blossoming in the air. How do you show off your physique to any potential romance interests?
"Before Yuuka came along I did anything I could to show myself off to lovely mares." Flying stunts, flirtation, dancing - you name it he's probably done it to get or keep someone's attention.

Would you have the courage to go up and speak to your crush, or are you way too shy?
"It is very rare that I had to do the approaching, usually they came to me." The only one he had ever admitted to feelings for was his lifemate Yuuka. She was the only one who had truly caught his heart.

Would you prefer a romance that you rush straight into, almost dizzying with how fast it goes, or do you think its better to take your time and go nice and slow?
"I've had both and I think I prefer nice and slow." More suited to his relationship with his lifemate.

What sort of traits do you think you would look for in a potential mate? What is important to you?
"Being Yuuka, mostly." He had never considered taking a lifemate before her.

Do you consider yourself lucky in love, or has it always managed to evade you?
"I've always considered myself to be lucky, but I haven't been in love ever until recently."

Would you have the stamina to raise a new set of foals now, or do you think that would be too exhausting?
"Yuuka and I do have Kazue, but she isn't technically a foal." The little bobcat was their child though, what else could she be given the resemblance. "Hopefully she will have siblings before too long passes." He had hoped the lover's moon would bring them luck in that regard, but perhaps it wasn't time yet. Taith and Yuuka both hoped for a big family eventually.

With spring coming in just around the corner, romance seems to be blossoming in the air. How do you show off your physique to any potential romance interests?
"Usually it was my physique that put others off, or had them misjudge me." Irierath had always been a big girl, even when she was young. "So it wasn't something I ever actively showed off."

Would you have the courage to go up and speak to your crush, or are you way too shy?
"Colonel is actually my first crush that I've ever said something to. I'm glad I did." Her voice sounded pleased even though it was tinged with shyness.

Would you prefer a romance that you rush straight into, almost dizzying with how fast it goes, or do you think its better to take your time and go nice and slow?
"I think I prefer the kind that you don't realize you are in a romance, until suddenly you do." She had thought Colonel just a friend at first and one day that changed and she considered him to be more.

What sort of traits do you think you would look for in a potential mate? What is important to you?
"Love, trust and acceptance. My parents have those things and their relationship endures. So it seems like a wondeful example to follow."

Do you consider yourself lucky in love, or has it always managed to evade you?
"I've never sought it out really. I had a few crushes when I was young but they never went anywhere."

Would you have the stamina to raise a new set of foals now, or do you think that would be too exhausting?
"I hope for foals eventually. Colonel does too. They will come when they come, and we can doat on grandchildren in the interim."

"I have a lifemate now, but before then I was barely concerned with any of that. I had others confess feelings for me in the past but I never truly connected with any of them."

Would you have the courage to go up and speak to your crush, or are you way too shy?
"I confessed to Stormchaser after I had been with his family's herd for a while."

Would you prefer a romance that you rush straight into, almost dizzying with how fast it goes, or do you think its better to take your time and go nice and slow?
"It's been both at once with Stormchaser and wonderful through all of it."

What sort of traits do you think you would look for in a potential mate? What is important to you?
"I had never given the idea much thought until I fell hard for Stormchaser. He is loving, protective, strong and gentle - I can see where all that comes from after meeting his parents."

Do you consider yourself lucky in love, or has it always managed to evade you?
"I am certainly lucky."

Would you have the stamina to raise a new set of foals now, or do you think that would be too exhausting?
"Stormchaser and I have foals that have yet to emerge from their baskets. It's been a long winter, perhaps they need time to resettle as much as we do. Hopefully they come with the springtime. We are both looking forward to them."

"Sometimes I do, and sometimes they speak to me. It depends on the situation."

Would you prefer a romance that you rush straight into, almost dizzying with how fast it goes, or do you think its better to take your time and go nice and slow?
"Hard and fast, then one of us usually disapears shortly after." She enjoyed the experience rather than lamenting the loss.

What sort of traits do you think you would look for in a potential mate? What is important to you?
"I don't really. I take compansionship and pleasures when I can."

Do you consider yourself lucky in love, or has it always managed to evade you?
"I've loved many and many have loved me, I suppose that could be considered lucky."

Would you have the stamina to raise a new set of foals now, or do you think that would be too exhausting?

Omusa thought quietly for a few moments. "I don't feel like divulging such information is very... Courageous? I mean, if you're to do something you're proud of, is it truly something you'd wish to boast about? I'd prefer to remain humble."

Have you ever deliberately put yourself in harm's way to try to help someone else?
"Of course. Hasn't everyone at one point in their life?"

What do you think true bravery is?
"True bravery is the ability to do something you wouldn't normally do for the benefit or protection of another." He nodded quaintly.

Vanity grinned, knowing this was her time to shine. "Well," she began, "I am not the bragging sort," she lied, her smile unwavering. "But I single-hoovedly saved my father from a rather vicious Kalona attack." She'd have happily continued, but was cut off by the next question. She huffed.

Have you ever deliberately put yourself in harm's way to try to help someone else?
"Yes! As I was saying, he was simply in his garden one day, and I was just a foal," she exaggerated, "having just come out of my basket, I saw a dreadful Kalona with blood in its eyes heading toward my beloved father, and I thwarted his plan to have my dear papa as a snack! I--" She was cut off again. She grumbled.

What do you think true bravery is?
"Well, as I was trying to tell you before you so rudely cut me off, I fended off the massive skinwalkered kalona," she embellished, "all by myself, to protect a stallion I knew to be my father, but who I'd just met, having only come out of my basket that day, and--" She caught her father looking at her and blushed. "Uh. I guess it's just. Protecting others?"

What is the most courageous thing you have ever done?
Emmett shuffled awkwardly. "Man, that's a hard question. Could you rephrase it? Like maybe ask what's the most courageous thing I've seen someone else do? Because my mother was the most courageous Soquili I've ever seen. She had a tough life, that one, and she never gave up. She always made sure my siblings and I were safe and okay, and never thought twice about putting herself in danger for us."

Have you ever deliberately put yourself in harm's way to try to help someone else?
"Yeah, but I don't really like to think about it." He frowned slightly. "It didn't go so well, I'm afraid."

What do you think true bravery is?
"I feel like it's being willing to sacrifice everything for just a chance to make a life better, be it your own or someone else's. It's knowing that doing something could make you lose it all, but doing it anyway in hopes of a good outcome."

Have you ever deliberately put yourself in harm's way to try to help someone else?
Dai nods. "Oh yes I do this to protect and help those in need or those in my Herd. It is important to be selfless when you are a herd leader."

What do you think true bravery is?
He looks away a moment and then looks back when he has his answer. "True Bravery is being able to act without worry of yourself in order to save another."

The seathi almost burst out laughing. "Harm's way? I put myself in the face of danger every single day! I laugh at danger. Who knows how many times I've been in harms way - too many to bother counting with! I'm sure at least one of them I accidentally helped someone or something." She dismissed any further discussion with a brief flap of her fins.

What do you think true bravery is?
"I..." She mulled it over for a second. "It's a feeling. Deep within you. Nothing else matters - not fear, not terror. Nothing. It's a clarity. A resolution. You know you have to do something, and nothing will stop you."
