Dear diary,
How could I have been stupid!? Why couldn’t I put something other than “Love” in the note. What if Trace doesn’t feel the same way. He probably thinks I’m being pushy. No! I shouldn’t be thinking like that, Trace does care about me, maybe even loves me. I’ll just have to tell him tomorrow, hopefully he feels the same way.
What’s worse, everypony probably suspects how I feel about him. I did a horrible job of keeping myself under control. but I just can’t help it. To think if something happened to him... I don’t know what I’d do.
Is this normal for new relationships? I suppose I could ask Rainbow Dash Dash or Rarity. Dash is married to a human, so she’d have more experience. Rover might have been from a different culture, but he was still Equestrian. Rarity on the other hoof is always talking about the various romance novels she’s read, or the occasional date with a stallion.
Well, I shouldn't be thinking about that,I'm sure he'll be fine. Instead I should talk about Fei.
I’ll admit I was a bit nervous when I heard her name, considering what Trace told me when I first met her. but seeing her as a child, I actually thought she looked... cute. I don’t know why, but seeing those ears on top of her head made it hard to think of her as I used to. She seems really nice, if a bit shy. She even explained that the “fangblade” was just a title, and that she’d never actually... killed anypony... and the kitsune were mostly against violence.
I’m actually a bit concerned about her education, being a child in appearance, it might be difficult to get around the topic. I suppose I could talk to Cheerilee and see if I could homeschool her (with Trace’s approval of course) and have Cheerilee stop by once and awhile to give her tests. At least until school starts again, it would be good for her to socialize with others her age, and it would be better for her to get an education from somepony qualified to teach.
On to Trace...
I’ll admit right now, seeing him like that, it scares me. I know he’s part dark elf, and they have been noted for having violent tendencies, but to actually see it is just... I don’t even know how to describe it. It was terrifying yes... but also a bit exciting. I read that dark elves fight to maim or even kill their “prey,” but Trace seemed to fight defensively, doing his best to disorient the bear. Are dark elves not as bad as they're made out to be, or is Trace better than the normal elves? Better? Oh come on, Twi, it's a different culture, I shouldn't be talking in terms of 'better' and 'worse'.
I shouldn’t be worrying about this, Trace will be okay, Emerald said his injuries weren’t too severe, and he should make a full recovery in week at the most. Everything will be okay tomorrow.
