Don't move too fast please. That the sure fire easiest way to ruin a good story, messing up the pacing. Otherwise a good chapter. I think we need more of these types of chapters, adjusting to the pony world should be a while coming.

I really like this, as much as i want Octavia to make a move like cuddle with him or something like that, or that he asked her if he could touch her face to have something like a picture, i think it is good the way it is. The longer we have to wait for a real nice moment between them, i think the better it is.

PS: The think with the painting, that he get a new part of an image for every chapter is somehow nice. I mean every chapter a part of Octavia went into his mind and i think the moment he had the whole image is probably the moment they kiss or make out the first time or just cuddle a bit.

I think i would prefer it if the first time they make out with each other is not a whole adventure, i mean i see Octavia more as a delicate mare which would try to save the moment and not really the fast and wild style you maybe would exxpect from Rainbow Dash.

I don´t really want to talk only about this, but i wanted to make sure you know nearly what i whould like to see. I don´t say you have to do, but maybe it is something you are just fine with. I see it right now as one of my top favourites.

PSPS: In the resturante, had they just a ackward moment because he was blind and the waiter doesn´t knew if he should give him a menu or not?

Hmmm, interesting!
A shared meal with shared stories... good start to build a relationship, to be honest.
However, there is something I noticed (and might be only me passing through details, but), Octavia knew Shimmer Sky from before? Huh.

Nevertheless, this was a good chapter, not too long, neither short, contained one major scene... but a new one should be on the line sooner than this was compared the earlier chapters. Anyway. Keep up with the good work, let us see the magic happen!

Always a pleasure Reading a new chapter of this fic.
