March is known for coming in like a lion. Are you brave enough to face it?:
The mare looks offended that she was even asked. "What kind of question is that? Of course I am. I am ready for anything."

The following are stats each Soquili has: Courage, Strength, Speed, Intelligence, Luck and Stamina. Which do you think is the most opposite of Courage?:
"Speed, I suppose... for those cowardly enough to run away."

Would you say that you are courageous enough to study for twenty years in order to tell one man "You killed my father. Prepare to die."?:
Nymphalidae rolled her eyes. "I wouldn't need to study for twenty years to kill one man. I could kill one now. But, yes, I suppose if I had to study for twenty years... of course I could do it."

Rainy as April is, it must take some stamina to withstand the spring rains. How will your stamina help you this month?:
Well in all honesty my stamina will help me to endure the urge to wake each day. I need something to help propel me forward, instead of retire to rest whenever my limbs feel weak. I feel as though I can't travel or see as much with such a low stamina. Maybe if I get some more stamina I can travel around, for a place to gather some new roses for my hair.

The following are stats each Soquili has: Courage, Strength, Speed, Intelligence, Luck and Stamina. Which is most unlike Stamina?:
Luck, since no matter how much luck I have I can't endure everything. Luck helps with something stamina can not, but stamina it is a necessity to ones life. I wish I could talk from experience, but sadly I don't possess much of stamina. Courage on the other hand I have a fair amount of, though never seems to do me much good. I can never seem to pull that extra mile even when I'm not afraid to step forward. I just collapse before I can reach it, I want to know what it feels like to stride forth and not stop before the finish line. That is why I believe courage is the furthest from stamina.

Tell about a time you needed to hold out for another, to draw on your reserves to keep going even when part of you wanted nothing more than to turn in or give up.:
A time when I had to hold for another...hmmm...now that is a hard one. Well there was this once when I was walking along and just happened to stumble over a gravestone. It seemed to just be right out there in my walking path, I didn't even notice it as I moved each of my hoofs. Though anyways I tripped over and roses flew everywhere, up and down, and even sideways! It was insane I tell you! Then out of the darkness came what seemed to me a knight in shining armor as a male asked if I was okay. He had roses just like me, and in that moment I knew no matter how much pain I was in from my fall. I had to endure it an pull through just so this person wasn't left alone. Plus I hadn't seen company in a while, especially someone with roses like I....

Rainy as April is, it must take some stamina to withstand the spring rains. How will your stamina help you this month?: Nightmare pondered this question, the silence strangely foreboding when finally he spoke. " Stamina is always a good thing to have, especially in these months that come with the chill and the rain...i always had a place to hide...from the rain. But now...there are more important things to use my stamina for...i will gladly go out in a rainstorm, to train...my son."

The following are stats each Soquili has: Courage, Strength, Speed, Intelligence, Luck and Stamina. Which is most unlike Stamina?:
"Unlike you say?..." He pondered this, his glowing eyes burning beneath his mask " perhaps Luck...yes, you dont need much luck to work hard or push yourself...to a limit anyway..."

Tell about a time you needed to hold out for another, to draw on your reserves to keep going even when part of you wanted nothing more than to turn in or give up.: His demeanor immediately changed...his face fell and he exhaled a rather large gout of mist, but after a second, and a steady breath, he answered. " When i ran from my beloved...all that time ago, i felt as if i couldn't go on anymore...i didn't want to...i was a monster to her now, and that was all i could be...
But in my darkest hour...i remembered that i still had a child to look out for...my son gave me the strength to hold on." Nightmare felt a small twinge in his cheek, half of a smile " he needed me...and i needed him."

Rainy as April is, it must take some stamina to withstand the spring rains. How will your stamina help you this month?:
She smiles politely."My stamina will help me to withstand walking around in the mud and much.. it clings to your hooves and tries to keep you from moving. My stamina will also help me to endue any runs from flash floods I may have to do as some times they happen when the rains begin."

The following are stats each Soquili has: Courage, Strength, Speed, Intelligence, Luck and Stamina. Which is most unlike Stamina?:
She pondered this a moment before speaking barely above a whisper. "I would suppose Luck would be the most unlike stamina as it's based mostly on chance not endurance due to physical prowess..."

Her expression faultered as she thought back on an unpleasant moment in her life. "My mother's herd was attacked by a kalona.. I needed to keep going, to stay strong for both her sake and my own.. I had to do what I could to keep them safe even if it meant my own demise. I don't usually think to fight and protect.. but I couldn't let things go without doing what I could... There were solutions to be had so we did what we had to as a herd; so, I fought back..."

Rainy as April is, it must take some stamina to withstand the spring rains. How will your stamina help you this month?: Rain coats the wings and makes flying impossible. But my stamina will help me endure walking. And I will do it with a cheerful attitude. Well, I'll start with a cheerful attitude.

The following are stats each Soquili has: Courage, Strength, Speed, Intelligence, Luck and Stamina. Which is most unlike Stamina?: Speed is most unlike Stamina I believe. After all, Speed is about a burst of energy. Stamina is about maintaining energy over time. Speed uses the energy that Stamina would maintain, leaving a Soquili without either.

Tell about a time you needed to hold out for another, to draw on your reserves to keep going even when part of you wanted nothing more than to turn in or give up.: My adoptive mother raised me to help others in need, as she had helped me. She had tracked a skinwalker to a cave. I was still very young, but I was learning to fight, to defend others. And, I think, she didn't want me to be alone while she was hunting because she thought something would come along and eat me.

Anyway, we found the skinwalker. But he wasn't alone. There was a wounded Usdia mare in the cave. She had been badly injured by the skinwalker. So my adoptive mother asked me to get the usdia to safety. I didn't want to, I wanted to stay and fight, but someone needed to help the little mare.

So we left, the usdia leaning on me. It took me a long time, what felt like hours, to get her away and to a uni healer. I wanted to stop, to rest. But my adoptive mother was still there, still with the skinwalker. I knew that if he could, he would kill her. But I also knew that she would do the same for him. And no matter who won or if they were still fighting, my foster mother would probably be injured and need my help.

So, my hooves feeling like they were tied to tree trunks, I walked back. It was quicker, though the flies drawn by the usdia's blood that was still smeared on my hide as the morning sun rose quickly made things even more unpleasant. When I finally got to the cave, there was my adoptive mother, wounded but triumphant.

I would have collapsed at her feet, but she needed the Uni's help as well. Even if I was too small for her to lean on, I could get the healer and bring her back. Now that the skinwalker was gone it would be safe enough for her. So again, I walked down out of the mountains and, though I think I was asleep for most of the return trek, I brought my adoptive mother the help she needed.

Taarab turned his head, "I suppose by helping you have the energy to find a place drier and warmer to stay.. Such as under a rock overhang or a little within a cave? Or simply withstand the cold damp long enough for the rains to pass and the day to warm again."



The following are stats each Soquili has: Courage, Strength, Speed, Intelligence, Luck and Stamina. Which is most unlike Stamina?:

"Luck?" Taarab pondered, claws scraping the ground, "Since Luck is usually a flash or momentarily passing thing, and stamina is something that lasts long."

"..." Taarab pondered hard, thinking about his easy life of song, dance and art, leisure and protection. He was practically pampered as a foal in comparison to the mares, since males were not warriors, but home keepers in his Flock, "... I... Cannot think of one such as what you described.. I might if I had a journey with one of the women, if they needed aid carrying supplies on a journey, much like the males and females both helped travel during the migration to this area."

He paced a bit, trying to think of an example that worked for him, "... Ah! Well, as an artisan, working on setting up a guild for our flock, I often teach others what I have learned, if they show interest in a particular skill. Because of this, I often spend time going place to place teaching. This can be somewhat grueling at times, since they're fresh, and I've already been working for hours, digging up clay, making pits, showing how to find turquoise and other gems and stones within the earth. Thankfully, since we started I've figured out a better schedule, and only do certain things on certain days, and some days are simply working, with some assistance from me... And I have days where I can just work on my own projects. However, its still from morning till as late into the night as I can, at times, when truly inspired."

Axel: My stamina will keep me dry and ready for the ladies. You know what they say...Spring is a time for new beginnings.

The following are stats each Soquili has: Courage, Strength, Speed, Intelligence, Luck and Stamina. Which is most unlike Stamina?:
Axel: Speed is most unlike stamina, I believe. Speed implies that one is quick, while stamina makes one strong and sturdy, with great endurance. I have endurance. *wink wink*

Axel: Well...there was this one mare...I had tried every trick I knew to get her to turn her head my way. Everything I tried she turned against me, but I kept going, despite the part of me that wanted to quit. And true to the long wooing I had to give, her love was the sweetest I've ever had.
