Mating and Quizzes [Purity Unicorn Chase]

My lady, a pleasure it is to make your acquaintance. This one is called Jun. I am at your service. He straightened back up after speaking, tilting his head just enough to clear his mane from his eyes and flip it to the other side of his neck. He was ready.

He knew he was being sized up. After all, a unicorn couldn't just take any old unicorn to be their mate, let alone a Purity. So he stood perfectly still with his head up straight, like he'd been taught to stand when attending human courts, and he let himself be scrutinized. And he looked in turn. He sized up the Mercy, taking him in. A Mercy was a good competitor, especially for the heart of a Purity. He was proud to stand beside one.

He turned his attention next to Brilliance, truly taking her in. She looked like someone who could do whatever she put her mind to. That was good, that was something that was admirable. He lifted his head more when she spoke, asking for their names.

He... had already introduced himself but there was no harm in doing it again. Or perhaps it was a way to make sure the Mercy introduced himself as well? He was unsure, but surely she had a plan, a reason for the questions she was choosing. He switched his tail from side to side for a moment, waiting, and then bowed his head and his knee once more to her.

This one is called Jun, with the character for monarch. I am much pleased to meet you, Lady Brilliance. It is my honor to stand before you.

Well met the both of you, first there will be four questions presented to the both of you. Your answers will decide which of you is my mate. Brilliance said as she looked between them telling them what was to come next, then she lowered her head to nip off an annoying bug but it flew away quickly before her gaze returned to the pair. She wanted the best suitor to be the one to win her heart and to father her foals, these would be her first foals after all.

The first question is this, if a dragon were to attack while I was away and you were left to tend the foals what would you do? She asked her eyes going between them, it was clear she was judging them for both their answers and for the way they reacted to each other and her. She wanted only the best to be the one to give her what she was here for.

Fate listened intently to the question presented to them and nodded slightly, thinking hard about what the best and most true course of action was that he would take. Listening to the other males response, he shook his mane slightly as he patiently waited for his turn to speak. The others response seemed suited to the male, however different it was from his own.

Presumably if I were left to tend to the foals, that means others would be at the front warding of the dragon, however they seemed fit.. Therefore, I would first do my best to find a suitable hiding place to prevent any harm coming to the little ones. My abilities let me calm their fear and give them comfort in what would be a frightening time, and I would hope to not only do that but perhaps distract them- perhaps with a story, or other such things. He spoke, shifting his weight from one hoof to the other, watching Brilliance in hope that his answer was suitable.

Jun listened carefully to Fate's answer. It was a good one, well suited for a Mercy. He hadn't considered others already being at the front lines, although it would make sense. Perhaps he should pick this Mercy's brain later for more tactics that escaped him. But for now the important thing was what Brilliance thought. She gave nothing away and he, in turn, stood still as to not belie his quiet nerves.

There were several ways to take her next question. He could leave the enemy to fend for themselves so that he could focus on his allies. He could send others to care for their allies and dispatch the enemies. He could take them captive. It would really depend on the battle, on what was being fought and what was at stake. He dipped his head down and used his foreleg to scratch his cheek.

Forgive me for saying so, but this is a complicated question with many parts contingent on what the battle was for. But simplifying it into 'there are wounded, what do you do' can make it a bit easier. I would call for help for both sides. What is our enemy but a mirror that stares back on us after all? All of the soldiers deserve to be looked after, and if they are wounded with no help being presented to them already, then they were left for dead by their men, or everyone else is already dead and gone. If I were truly worried over the enemy soldiers, perhaps I would assign others to watch them, to be sure they wouldn't do anything untoward while we show them kindness. But calling for medics would first and foremost be my move. He cocked his back leg and watched, waiting to see how Fate responded to the question.

Adjusting her weight she did not even really move from her considerations, she was doing her best to remain even tempered and not give away her thoughts. Both were giving good answers but there was something that would give them an edge depending on the answer and what would come of the mating and bonding. The next was about the ceremony of bonding and if they would attend should they be chosen, the final would be the one that she gave them to decide.

When the babies are old enough to Bond, will you attend the ceremony? I do want to be sure that you'll be there to see the little ones off after all. Brilliance asked as she looked at the pair of males before her.
