The Diary of Seed, 12-28-12 | The Endless Forest

Today I awoke, and found Jettem sitting under a willow by the pond. The large one. Whether she wanted to hide or not, I don't know; only that it seemed unlikely to work, a red figure against the green leaves. I was happy, since I don't see her often when I get the chance to hang out with her. It makes me feel regretful.
I joined her for a while, and quite enjoyed it... But when she got up, she completely ignored me, and dashed off without even a hello. I've always thought of our relationship as friendly, but... I get the impression it's not mutual. With that thought clouding my heart heavily, and her figure retreating, I went to bed...

I woke up in better spirits, because I noticed Lemon yet again; I'm happy to see her as often as I have been; for one, I've not been seeing much of anyone else, so not only has her company been wonderful for getting re-acquainted, it's also been a wonderful way to pass the time.
She looked a bit hurt, though -- had something happened? It looked like it would slow her movements a bit, so I have no objection to sitting and letting her rest and recover. I don't know exactly what happened, but it has me worried.
With her was Malikorin, who she seemed to be sitting comfortably with. Had he defended her from whatever happened earlier, or had he just come along when she was hurt and scared? Well, either way... I want to thank him; she seemed very comfortable with him, which I know is what she really needs after something bad's happened. Anyway, he was a fine companion as well.

When she fell into a deeper sleep, I found myself still sitting with Malikorin. I elected to stay even after he fell asleep; sometimes I don't, in favor of finding something to do... But I'm never confident in it; it seems rude... Still...I get the impression that sort of thing isn't much value...When I sit with someone, it's rare to see it acknowledged. I guess that, too, is why I hope to do more in the future....

Anyway, after a time, a doe I sadly could not identify came and joined us as well. I was pleased to meet her, but she darted off soon after. I hope she had fun?

And then I rose up and wandered about until I found a doe -- I think her name may be Crystal, perhaps? -- who needed my help with some spells. We were also joined by a stag who I think wanted help, or maybe he wanted to join in? I ended up not being sure what he wanted, and she was unwilling to help as well, so I ended up being pulled away after really the barest of efforts. I apologize, sir.
On the other hand, she and I had some fun running around and even water-walking, which I don't do very often, or at least not as much as I'd like... And we settled down by the lotus for a bit; in fact, we stayed like that until I decided to go.

(Saw Sage the other day, sleeping. Wanted to see her awake, and tell her about Lemon and the weather-changes and everything since I saw her last. It never happened, and I find myself, thinking about it, still sighing. Maybe I need to write a poem; that tends to settle me. Even just writing this sets me at ease.)
