Entry 150: Monsoon

I went out again, and I found that same deep pony at the bar.

His name is Monsoon, and is actually a member of my Myrmidon Guard. I recall him now. He is a fairly new recruit, but my officers like him and expect good things from him.

He’s… oddly shy and… very kind. We had a long talk about Aquestrian hydromancy, which lasted until the late hours of the night. I… I really like him, and I think he likes me.

But I’m lying to him. I’m in disguise and he’s… he thinks I’m Rheic, a nice deep pony who works as a secretary in the palace. If I keep visiting him, he’s going to figure out that I don’t actually work at the palace, and…

I need to tell him the truth the next time we meet. I don’t want a relationship built on more lies. I… I’ve lied enough.
