Another slightly odd day. It started as yesterday did, Takara already waiting for us. She looked awful, like she had only a little sleep. If she keeps pushing herself like this she could seriously harm herself.

I may have startled her this morning, as she was bent under one of the tables in the kitchen. She jumped and banged her head on the table. I rushed and apologised. She insisted she was fine. It is obvious she is not. I could not stop myself from keeping an eye on her all through breakfast preparation.

I sent her to collect Emilia, hoping that a friend would be able to help her. It did not. Even after breakfast she continued at the same pace, leaving Rem and I little to do. We were sweeping the corridors for a short while after and all I wanted to do was ask her what was wrong. She was seemingly deep in thought until Emilia called to her. Takara tried to keep up the pretence but Emilia scolded her! In the time I have known her, Emilia has barely raised her voice to anyone! She must be extremely worried. Takara was almost dragged into her room.

I must admit to eavesdropping a little. Takara broke down into tears, admitting to Emilia her reasons. I left after a few moments. It was not for my ears. I returned to my duties for a time before Emilia found me. She explained that Takara was resting in her room and I decided that I should watch over her. I found myself wanting to be there for her. I sat there for some time.

She looks very peaceful when she sleeps.

The first thing she did when she awoke was apologise profusely. I replied with honesty. There was nothing to forgive. It was entirely obvious something was wrong. She apologised again for keeping me from my duties. After I informed her of my decision she told me of her want to apologise to Rem also. As I rose she pulled me into a hug! She apologised once more, the most heartfelt apology I think I have ever heard, and admitted her want to hug me!

She gives good hugs.

She pulled away and we stood there for a moment. I found myself staring at her. From that short distance her eyes captivated me. Then she began to lean forward!!! Emilia ended up interrupting. I have the utmost respect for her but in that moment I do not think I have hated anyone more. I think Takara was going to kiss me and, if I am honest, in that moment I wanted her to.

Have I feelings for her?

The rest of the day passed swiftly. It is very clear that Takara either has some sort of romantic attraction to me or she is just very flirtatious. I find myself almost wanting the former. I have never felt that before. But why does she seems so familiar? It is still confusing me.

I watched her train with her blade. She seems very talented, her movements fluid and precise. Roswaal saw her also. He believes she has had something in the way of military training. I found myself wanting to be held by her again.

I must think on this.
