And slowly, slowly, he eased to a stop: he was so tired now. Even if he hadn't gone as far as he'd hoped, well, he'd made a valiant effort. He nodded to the nearest Tidewalker. "I'm done," he said, firmly, and then lay in the shade for some well-deserved rest.
He tilted his head at the one offering instructions to the nearest watering hole, though. "Do you think I could backtrack a little? There was a rock I liked..."

So: the start of the endurance course. Sun stretched, before beginning the course with an easy jog: he wasn't really sure how much stamina he had, and he thought the test interesting enough. More interesting was the thought of Waterside and her Tidewalkers constructing the course. Or, well, figuring out the most optimal route, anyway; he didn't imagine Tidewalkers much liked modifying the world around them to suit their needs. They prided themselves on braving the elements. Some might find that admirable, and it was, in its own way. Sun thought his own approach - which required ingenuity on its own, of course - superior for himself.

Lost in thought about the differences between the Tidewalkers and Westfen when it came to Matope-related philosophy, Sun didn't notice that his "jog" was really more of a, er, crawl. That was all right, though: slow and steady won races well.

...or did it? For some reason the thought had made Sun, well, incredibly tired.
He slowed to a stop, and turned to wave a Tidewalker over. It'd be a lot more interesting to talk about the course, rather than actually, well, endure it. And this way he could get, you know, details. And learn about planning. Sun didn't really like walking around for long periods of time without end much.

Time to Go was not the best kin to pick for an endurance race: she was a little hotheaded and she'd always preferred speed and efficiency to sticking it out. At the same time, though, she wanted Westfen to do well, and, well...Westward Bound had admitted to her that he wasn't the best at distance (as she'd find out later). So here she came, impatient already.

As soon as the nearest kin told her she could start (a kimeti, she was relieved to note), Time to Go set off. She'd been ready for a while, and really she just wanted to get this over with: she had poisons to study. Priorities!

She'd covered a good distance with her first burst of speed, and she slowed to a more leisurely pace now: that would probably function a little better, she thought. It was a pain that she hadn't gotten to scope out the course ahead of time: she would've been able to figure out something far more efficient. Of course, that probably would've been considered, well, cheating.
Ah, well.

She was, as customary, silent as she followed the course. Ahead of her she glimpsed Shadow Step, working her way through the course (she seemed far, far ahead of Time to Go, though: the path was probably fairly convoluted): a familiar face. She sent the barest impression of a smile the doe's way, but continued stepping pleasantly on her way. There probably wasn't time for niceties right now, and she hadn't really spoken to Shadow Step much. It was just nice to see a kimeti around in unfamiliar territory.

Soon enough, though, Time to Go could no longer see the dark-pelted doe. It was for the best, wasn't it? It meant they were each going on, really. She kept her gaze to the well-traveled road as she walked, so that she wouldn't be prompted into, well, talking to someone.

It seemed, to Time to Go, at least, that her plan was working. This was a good thing: she liked when that happened. If only she'd had one for the course itself, too - but she'd already complained about that, and she shut the topic away in her mind. Repetition was unnecessary, she reminded herself. Efficiency was key.

The lithe green doe continued on with ease. Sure, this was more tiring than the short distance sprints she preferred, but she, too, could be stoic. An example. That thought lifted her especially as she walked.

But the course was, it seemed, far more tiring than she'd even predicted: it was becoming more and more difficult to cover great distances. A pity, she thought. And yet Time to Go had to continue: the last thing she wanted to be was a disappointment.

She wasn't sure what she was supposed to be looking forward to, after this. Glory for Westfen, she hoped, but how? She hadn't, well, thought to ask, before agreeing to participate. She turned a corner and suddenly the breeze that had been buffeting her flowed coolly along the lines of her body instead. Ah, this was lovely. She edged forward with it as her support. She, of all kin, could finish this!

And onward she went. the little doe with miles ahead. She could not say she was optimistic, but perhaps instead she was confident. In herself, and in her own abilities. If she could do anything, it was keep going when things seemed tough, if only because her mind was quick and could think its way out. No, scratch that: if she could do anything, it was efficient collection of herbs and other resources. But the point remained.

Her hooves seemed to ease themselves along the path. Perhaps she was not the one in the lead, but Time to Go refused to let the twinges of pain creeping up her legs get the better of her.
