Aryel
I'm through accepting limits / 'cause someone says they're so.
"Lana," said Aryel, looking at the filly, "Levi is right. You left your abusive father despite not knowing what was ahead, and also knowing what would happen if he caught you. And you ran anyway. That takes guts, especially with one as young as yourself. " She meant every word of what she said. "And that sort of running isn't like running away from a fight. Not that that's bad either, in some circumstances."
She thought for a moment, looking over the distance and trying to think of a good example. "Imagine if I was alone and surrounded by enemies much bigger and nastier than myself, but it was possible for me to escape. I could stay and fight, which might be brave, but it would also be dumb because I would certainly die. Or, I could run and organize a better attack later. Those who run away live to fight another day, you know. That's what my dad would say to his warriors. Now, if the fate of the herd depended on me staying and holding the enemy off, I would, despite the chance of death. I would probably be peeing myself in fright, but I would still stay and fight. Bravery to me is doing the right thing despite being scared." She laughed. "I think I rambled a little. Did any of that make sense?"
"blah blah blah."
Some things I cannot change / but until I try I'll never know.

Thanks for the good times, and no hard feelings for the bad times.
Vicer and Aryel's new threads never happened.
