Re: Ponyville Residential District
Today, it seemed, Fung wasn't concerning himself with catching up alongside Merriweather; he was content to follow closely behind her, galloping with a distracted gait. And it was all the old veteran's fault. She always did seem to take some strange joy in throwing Fung off balance, and she'd done so in strides today. It wasn't so much the idea that Loose Leaf might be admiring him. Fung was used to that sort of attention, and he was used to dealing with it. In fact, many of his students had been part of this 'fan club', and had actually performed better after he'd spoken with them about it. No, it wasn't that Loose Leaf might be admiring him.
It was that it didn't bother him.
Now that, that was new. Oh, he'd been amused by admirers in the past, even endeared, but their affections always made him feel uncomfortable. However, when he thought about the same attention coming from Loose Leaf; little chocolates on Hearts and Hooves day, bouquets of flowers delivered to his Studio...well, it sounded outlandish and out of character. In fact, if she did so something of the sort, he'd probably suspect some ulterior motive. But it didn't make him uncomfortable. And he had absolutely no idea what that meant.
In sudden spurt of speed, a small burst of wind, Fung caught up to Merriweather and did something very out of character. He got direct.
"So what do I do about this?"
