What do you consider to be your best quality? Brilliance said to the pair as she stood watching them her ears flicking, this would be the deciding question and determine which of her suitors she chose. Who would it be the Mercy with whom she shared things or the Nobility who was a typical choice? She wasn't quite sure yet but she would mull it over while she waited for their last answer to her question. She was eager to choose the father of her coming foals.
What did he consider to be his best quality? Jun wasn't certain he'd ever been asked that. Not in the context at least. When he'd spent time serving in various areas, no one had ever asked him what his best quality was. They had simply assigned him one and he had done it.
He shifted from hoof to hoof, his ears swiveling to listen all around as he thought about it. Finally his ears perked up and he nodded quickly.
My best quality is my mind. I have a tactician's brain and I use it to my advantage in all cases. There is very little that cannot be solved by thinking it through from all possible angles, and there is very little I cannot do if I put my mind to it. It was the most honest answer he could give. It happened to be the one that others assigned to him the most as well, but he was certain in it.
Fate mulled over his answer for some time, listening to the Nobility answer and nodding along slightly; it was a good, thoughtful answer that was flattering to his rank. Fate had the same issue at the beginning- usually others had told him his own best qualities, but he hadn't been forced to think about what he himself thought the best quality was..
Finally he tapped a hoof in determination and bobbed his head before answering. I would say my best quality is my empathy. Yes, my abilities make it so others feel at ease around me, but I have learned in my years that just covering up the feelings for better ones is not always.. the most long term solution. For that you must actually understand the feelings you are helping to calm, and I find myself feeling them just as others around me are, giving me the mental fortitude to truly bring comfort.
The answers made her stand and think for several moments, she was standing before the suitors that she was thinking this through the fact they answered well to all her questions. This made it harder to decide for both males were suitable in their own ways but she had to decide on the best sire. The one that would give her good babies and bring things forward from here.
Fate, you are the sire I choose. She said as she gently laid her head across his back then turned to go and turn away to lead him to privacy dismissing Jun from the area easily as she took the Mercy as her mate.
Congratulations Birdie! You won the Chase. Also to the Winner and Host are either 10 BP or 2 SC. The participant also gets 5 BP or 1 SC your choice. (I'm taking the BP)
Truth be told, Fate was a little surprised by Brilliances choice considering his lower rank, but happy nonetheless. Leaning warmly against the Purity, Fate followed her steps into the distance.
