Pepper woudl chuckle lightly as he moved his mane again by
shaking his head softly. "It might be a little much until you
get used to this, and yes, just three bits, it's just a labnor
of love for me to grow these." He said loooking over to his cart
with a soft chuckle. "It hasn't broken yet." He said lazily as
he leaned in and nudged Marked's Neckj a little bit and looked
aorund. "This is my first time actually coming to Ponyville to
tell the truth...I usually just stay out at my farm, though I am
quite glad that I came today and met a new friend, and such a
handsome one too." He said playfully before circling his stall
once as if he was restless, another giggle escaping him as he
looked up at the sky wathcing the pegasus fly about. "I should
try sending my peppers up via balloon." He said in a distracted
tone, tail swishing gently.
He ran a hoof along his muzzle before he grinned a little bit.
"You sure do have a lot of pockets..and that notebook?" He
mused. "Are you a writer or something? I like writers."

Then it would probably be a bad idea to go for it so soon,
Marked concluded as he counted out only three bits from his
pouch and laid them down in the stall for Pepper. The second
nudge flared his blush a little as Marked again reached for and
pulled at his hat afterwards. Pepper sure was quick to be
comfortable with touching others wasn't she? Marked was even
less used to that than he was to recieving compliments as his
blush probably hinted. He didn't exactly mind it, otherwise he
wouldn't have cone back to the stall. It was just... different.
So this was Pepper's first visit to town? But he had a farm
nearby? Huh. Maybe his family did most of the to and fro from
Ponyville? Marked hadn't heard of a pepper farm anywhere around
here though... then again, Ponyville was rather rural and he
didn't go exploring the countryside much to visit the other
kinds of farms that were around. Beyond the famous ones like
Sweet Apple Acres, and the other more well known ones, Marked's
knowledge I'm the subject was limited. Oh, and then she did it
again... calling him handsome... now he was starting to suspect
she might just be playing with him. Either way it was nice.
"Well, then you might like me," Marked replied, letting the
comment about the balloons go by with only a small raising of
his eyebrow, "because I am indeed a writer. My names Marked
Twine," a hoof was offered by the stallion to shake as he
introduced himself, now feeling silly for not having done so
sooner, "I dunno if you would have heard of me though, I'm not
exactly a big name or anything, so I'd be kinda surprised if you
did. So you've never visited Ponyville before? How far is your
farm, and how long has it been around?"

Pepper would stretch out a little bit and giggle, shaking the
hoof shyly a little bit. "I might? I think I do already.
Friendly, cute, quick to blush though." He said with a soft
shrug and a lopsided smile on his muzzle before he looked about
curiously. "Maybe I can get some of your books from you?" He
asked. "Or! Maybe I could sell your books at my Pepper
cart...diversify as they say. I can call it 'Spicy Books'" A
giggle at his own pun as he made himself comfortable agianst his
cart, looking up gently into the sky. "It's not far, Maybe a
couple of hours away.....My fmaily used to come ehre often,
but...ever since they passed, I jus thaven't had a reason to..I
just sort of worked up the courage today.." He said playfully.
Curious that such a friendly, touchy pony said he had to work up
the courage for something. "And it's been around awhile..it used
to be a more general farm, but then the accident happens...and
IU'm only so good with Peppers, really, other plants just sort
of wilt under my care.."

Pointing out how quick he was to have his cheeks flush didn't do
much in the way of helping to prevent it from happening, the
redness lingering as Marked shook the pony's hoof and listened
to her answer. Pepper lost her family? Aww... "I'm sorry to hear
about your family..." he responded, feeling it best to simply
express his sympathy but not press into such a subject with
somepony he'd only just met. He didn't want to pry after all.
"..I don't really come to town much myself," he tried to move
towards a brighter conversation, adjusting his jacket a little
to get used to the new lumpy cargo it carried, "sort of play up
to that whole stereotype of a writer who hides away in his house
all the time I suppose. Sometimes I still get lost around here,
and its not even that big a place." He said with a light
chuckle. "Now, I dunno about you selling my books, that's
something that would be decided by a whole other pony over in
Canterlot, but I can let you borrow a copy of whichever one you
would be interested in?"
Glancing around, Marked started to wonder just how much of the
town Pepper had seen so far. "So did you just get into town and
set up your cart, or have you seen some of the more popular
places already?"

He rubbed the back of his head with a hoof, messing up that
thick mane. "Er, well..." He said softl,y looking around. "I've
seen..a few places, but not really. I just sort of thought I'd
come here, set up my cart, and somehow I'd make friends." He
said with a soft giggle. "Crazy, I know.." He said slowly, as he
looked around, and thne over to the park. "I'd really like to
see the park, but I'm a bit stuick here, I guess...I could pack
up my cart in a minute and go exploring, but..." He said with a
soft giggle. "That really defeats the purpose." Another soft
sigh, as he poked Marked in the shoulder with his hoof. "I bet
You've seen plenty of Equestria, those hemrmit types always do,
right? Seclude yourself to write after exploring something
new..."

"I wouldn't say that was crazy to seeing how well its worked for
you so far. But, yeah, it would be silly to bring your cart all
the way to town just to drag it around with you..." Marked said,
giving a small weak kick against the ground, "darn... I wouldn't
mind showing you around to see the more famous spots. Maybe
later? You've gotta go to Sugarcube Corner some time." The poke
of his shoulder and assumption that he'd done some traveling was
met with a small shrug and shake of his head. "I wouldn't really
say I've been all over the place, but I've been to a few cities.
Mostly I just keep to myself cause I often get so wrapped up in
my work that I forget about small things like time and...
Eating." He admitted with a small sheepish chuckle. "Off the top
of my head I've been to Canterlot, Manehatten, Baltimare, and
have hopped around a few small towns before settling here in
Ponyville. I've been wanting to take a trio to places like
Zebrica and the Crystal Empire though for a few story ideas I
have, though those tend to be a bit costly in terms of travel
expenses, so I've been putting it off..."

He would blink and tilts his head. "Oh I've always wanted to
meet a Zebra, they say there is one around town who live sin the
Everfree forest, but I've never had any interest going there.."
He said with a sigh, a little bit of a depressed one, really.
"I've never been farther than Ponyville, myself, Even with
Canterlot right there, I just have not found a reason to
leave.." He said with a sigh. "I suppose you could call me a bit
of a coward but I just haven't motivated myself to go farther,
though I love I do love listening to the stories others tell, or
reading about it!" He perked up, ears twithcing a little bit as
he sat beside Marked..and lean on him a bit. "I could just close
down the cart if you'd like a bite to eat at this Sugar Cube
Corner of yours.."

"Right, the zebra from the Everfree. Um... Zecorish? I can't
quite recall her name. Haven't had the chance to speak with her
myself, though I have seen her once picking up some ingredients
from a local remedy shop." Marked recalled, scratching his chin
for a moment but not being able to come up with any other
details worth sharing over the sighting. "And I would t really
call you a coward for being happy with not traveling. Not
everypony likes sitting in trains for hours just to be in a
noisier more crowded place for a little while. I prefer
Ponyville to big cities anyway. More relaxed around here, even
if there does seem to be some kind of shenanigans every week or
so." When Pepper leaned against him and brought up her
availability to step away from the cart for some lunch, Marked
found himself once again playing with his hat as he answered.
"Uh, heh, I think I'd like that. Would you like me to help you
pull your cart? This can be my treat too, for giving me such a
good deal on the peppers."

Pepper grinned softly as Marked agreed to it and shook his head.
"No tugging nessicary, I wouldn't want such a writer to hurt
himself." He said playfully as she moved away, and slowly began
to make the cart collpase on itself, before he tugged a tarp
over it. "There we go." he said happily, as he turned to Marked.
"I'll just leave it here, I'm sure nothing bad will happen to
it." Another soft giggle, head tilting to the side as he nodded
to him. "After you my friend." He said politely, leaning up
against him a little bit again.

"Hey now, come on," Marked replied equally as playfully as he
watched the pony close up the stall, "I may be a writer, but
that doesn't automatically mean I can't pull some weight without
hurting myself. Most of the time." Managing not to blush once
more, mostly cause of how it had been pointed out to him, Marked
took the lean against him in more of a stride this time as he
began to lead the way. "Well, of you're okay with leaving it...
Are you one for sweeter foods? Somepony who lives on a pepper
farm would probably be more akin to spicier dishes, wouldnt
they? I dunno if the stuff they e got over at the corner will
have enough kick for a pony like you." He said, wanting to keep
up a conversation as they walked.
