Good evening, Mayfield! Allow me to introduce myself - my name is Rarity, and I'm living at 836 Hastings Boulevard with the Liebert family. They've given me quite a warm welcome, and Mayfield has shown itself to be possessed of some rather... quaint charms of its own when it's not playing bad jokes on us. Unfortunately, there is

Shall I take this to mean that you've finished my commission, my good... mare?

[frilly_filly]

[Rarity will let that one go this time.]

Lady Rarity will do.

[She laughs a little.]

But yes, it's finished. I must say, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. I do hope it meets with your approval as well, Mr. Grimsley.

[tenebrousking]

[Grimsely recovers without more than a slight ruffle.]

I have no doubt it will. I trust that I've left the task in the hands of -- hooves of an artist.

[A little more ruffled on that one.]

[frilly_filly]

Quite so! You can come and have a look at it anytime you like.

[tenebrousking]

And would now be appropriate?

[frilly_filly]

Now is fine. I'll be in the studio.

[tenebrousking]

Then, I'll be by within the next fifteen minutes. Pardon the intrusion.

[frilly_filly]

Oh, it's no trouble at all. I'll be waiting for you in the studio.

[tenebrousking]

[After a suitable amount of time, ding-dong~ The doorbell rings.]

[frilly_filly]

[And here's Rarity to answer the door~]

Oh, Mr. Grimsley! Please, come in!

[tenebrousking]

Miss Rarity.

[Much less surprised by talking horses this time, Grimsley sweeps into a bow and procures a small posy of flowers from behind his back.]

A gesture of my appreciation for the lovely lady.

[frilly_filly]

[Rarity graciously bows her head in return, appreciating the polite gesture. She does look a little surprised about the flowers, but also quite pleased.]

Oh, they're beautiful, thank you! Just a moment, let me get these in some water.

[Her horn glows, and there's the noise of running water from the other room. In a few moments, a vase filled halfway with water comes floating into the entranceway. Rarity lifts the flowers from Grimsley's hand, depositing them in the vase and setting it on an endtable.]

There! Those will make a lovely after-dinner snack. Thank you again.

[tenebrousking]

[Grimsley had been basking in the glow of the appreciation up until the word 'snack', at which point he blinks rapidly a few times.]

Ah. Of course. Lilies are quite high in Vitamin J, or so I hear.

[A short cough.]

You've settled in well enough to open shop, then? I'm accustomed to having my clothes personally tailored, you see, and I'd really hate to do without.

[frilly_filly]

[Rarity smiles as she daintily leads him back to her studio, nodding along the way.]

Yes, I think I'll be fine for a while. The town returned most of my supplies from home.

[tenebrousking]

Charming. Let's see the finished goods, then.

[And into the studio he goes.]

[frilly_filly]

[Rarity leads Grimsley back into the studio. Hanging in the corner is a modified tuxedo looking piece. It looks reasonably like what he's used to wearing, except it's done in mostly darker shades of blue and without the red accents, as she didn't have that color fabric when she was originally working on this one. And true to her usual style, it's also tastefully embellished with rhinestones.]

Well! What do you think?
