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?

[tenebrousking]

[Grimsley thoughtfully examines the design, rubbing the fabric between his fingers, examining the stitching, casting a dubious eye at the embellishments. He'll make his pronouncement after a moment or two.]

Perhaps a little lighter on the gemstones. I like to aim more for brooding aristocrat than belle of the ball.

Otherwise. Good.

[frilly_filly]

Ah, I see. Hmm...

[Rarity thinks for a moment as her horn begins to glow, lifting several of the gems off the outfit but leaving a few around the wrists. They essentially look like fancy cufflinks at this point.]

There! How's that, then? I would have used darker stones, but I'm afraid Mayfield didn't include them with my fabric.

[tenebrousking]

[Grimsley will flash a smile in appreciation.]

Charming.

For a first time effort for a different species, it's more than adequate. At least... to the eyes. Do you mind terribly if I try it for a fit?

[frilly_filly]

Not at all! Feel free!

[Rarity proudly steps aside, gesturing with one foreleg toward the suit. She's nothing if not meticulous, so he should find it a rather good fit even for her first attempt at human clothing.]

[tenebrousking]

[Eh-hem. Grimsley waits for Rarity to avert her eyes before he removes his current (somewhat stodgy) suit to try on the new one. Though it takes him a few minutes, it's quite clear that this is much more to his liking.]

Hmm... I've waited a quarter of a year for this. Most satisfactory.

[frilly_filly]

[And of course she obliges. Always polite this one. But she's all smiles when she turns back around.]

Oh, it fits you perfectly! The cut is rather striking, wouldn't you say? I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. Not bad for a first pass, if I do say so myself!

[tenebrousking]

I can only imagine what you may be able to accomplish with some more experience. Now... how much to compensate you for your efforts?

[frilly_filly]

The sky's the limit! I do hope you will continue to patronize this shop in the future, Mr. Grimsley. As for payment...

[blah blah she quotes some sort of reasonable amount that will enable her to replace the supplies she used, etc.]

How does that sound?

[tenebrousking]

I would suggest an exquisite dinner and a glass of champagne instead, but I suspect that wouldn't do in this case.

[The money is handed over.]

[frilly_filly]

Why Mr. Grimsley, you certainly do know how to talk to a lady. I certainly wouldn't be averse to such an arrangement either.

[tenebrousking]

But of course. The members of the fairer sex must be... suitably admired. But are you certain you wish to partake of human food?

[frilly_filly]

A nice garden salad should be fine, I would think.

[tenebrousking]

As you please. Then, shall we say... Sunday at noon?

[frilly_filly]

Yes, that sounds lovely. I'll be looking forward to it!

[tenebrousking]

Certainly not as much as I to have the company of such a lady as yourself.

Let us meet again this weekend, then.
