MarketSquare Hijinks
By: Kit Date: June 2, 2014, 1:22 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
It was the afternoon of the day after the festival, Kit having
found lodgings after the events of the lovely festival, the song
Ivory had sung was in the back of the throat as she hummed it,
looking around. By pony's reactions, it was clear...that the
last gryphon to have shown up, wasn't exactly pleasent, so she
tried to keep herself pleasant. It was..difficult with jet
black fur and blood red feathers though. She wore a modified
harness, black leather studded with silver that strapped about
her chest, belly and just infront of her hind regions, a
decorative thing that jingled pleasantly as she walked, eyes
looking out for the Candle-Pony from before, or anyone else of
interest.
Her wings flexed lightly as she purred a little in the back of
her throat, remembering how Ivory looked, then it petered out as
she realized that, well, she deserved Schwambat, or at least Kit
thought. They'd make a cute couple. She chirped pleasantly to
herself and returned a greeting from a pair of ponies, her eyes
also on the look out for available real-estate...a boutique like
she wanted would cost money and have to be in a permanent place.

Kindle yawned lazily, then sat up with a start. The sun was much
higher in the sky than she would have liked; she must have
overslept. Well, that's what you get for wandering around
Ponyville late at night, she thought to herself. Although she
had to admit that Ivory's performance had been well worth the
wait. Kindle yawned again and began to hurriedly put together
her cart to bring to the market. On her work table she found a
scribbled note that read: "Kit, Black, Cherry." Kindle scrunched
her nose trying to remember why she had written those words last
night. Was it... Oh, right, the griffon she'd met at Ivory's
festival who'd asked about cherry-scented, black candles. Kindle
levitated a chunk of wax, a few vials of scents, and her spell
book into her saddlebag to allow her to start working on
designing the candle during the day. Then, she called Coal over
and set out for the market.
Kindle pulled her cart up to the same spot she'd occupied
yesterday and quickly set it up as her candle booth. Maybe some
of the ponies (or griffins) she'd met last night would drop by.
Kindle heard a faint jingling of bells, and found the source to
be none other than the griffin she'd just been thinking of. "Hey
there, Kit," she called, waving across the market square.

Kit blinked a little as she clacked her beak, it was still early
enough that a lot of market stalls had yet to be stood up. She
had decided to go on to look at realty and return later when the
square was more full, when a familiar voice drew her attention.
Her tail held high, it began to swish in innocent delight as she
bespied Kindle. "Hullo Candle-Scent!" She said, despite using
the wrong name, her voice was playful enough to make Kindle
realize that Kit was probably just pulling her leg.
Now that Kindle had a good look at the gryphon, she could see
the harness ended around Kindle's neck but looked like a
slightly flared collar, like it could be added onto in some way.
The gryphon plopped down infront of the market stall smiling.
"How's life?"

"Not bad," Kindle replied. "I overslept some, but other than
that I'm pretty good." She yawned again, but the exercise from
pulling the cart to the square and the bright sun were helping
her wake up. Focusing on Kit again, Kindle took a closer look at
Kit's harness. "Hey, you said you were a designer, right? Did
you make that yourself?" she asked. The collar seemed rather
ornate, and the style quite different from the work she'd seen
of the unicorn seamstress that lived in Ponyville. As Kindle
unpacked her saddlebags, levitating some cat food into a bowl
underneath the cart for Coal to munch on, she caught sight of
her candle making supplies. "I didn't have the chance to work on
your black-cherry candle last night, but I'll probably be able
to get started today. Were you interested in any others? I've
got plenty for you to look at, if you want."

Kit let out a soft chirp of amusement. "Sleeping in is sometimes
not a bad thing, Let's us center ourselves, besides, after last
night, fairly sure we all get a free pass to oversleep a
little." She said with a bob of her head. "I did! Faux-leather
with silver bells..." She said with a conspiratorial wink. "I
call it my 'Black Bindings' doesn't that sound like, ever so
naughty?" She said with a chirp of amusement. "If you'd like, I
could make you one..maybe dyed blue like a candle flame burning
so very hot." She said in contemplation, her eyes settling on
Kindle, not with the gaze of someone who pines for her, or the
eyes of a friend, but the eyes of a designer seeing some
potential before she quirked her head to the side, and let out a
gentle purrr. "Oh, I can't wait for those candles." The friendly
eyes returning as she peered over the cart. "Say, I've got a
question for ya, Candle-Scent." She said using the nickname
she'd given Kindle. "These candles are pretty rad. If I can
find a big enough place, would you consider say, a partnership?
So you won't have to hitch yourself to a cart every day?"

"I'm more of a frills and dresses girl, myself," Kindle said to
Kit's offer of a harness, "but I suppose it's good to try out
different styles every once and a while." While not nearly as
pretentious as some ponies from Canterlot, Kindle tended to
prefer a more classic style. Kindle smiled as the griffin
expressed excitement at the candles-in-progress. She had been
creating receipies and designs and mentally testing them since
she had picked out the supplies in the morning. She guessed that
Kit thought up designs all the time as well, although for
clothing rather than for candles.
"A partnership?" said Kindle in mild surprise. In all of her
planning back at home to start her own business, a partnership
was something she hadn't considered. "Candles and Clothing...
seems like an odd combination to me, but I can't say it would be
the strangest." She remembered walking past a store selling
sofas and quills on the way to the market square this morning.
"And a permanent location would be nice, although I'd probably
bring the cart down every once and a while. After all, you never
know who you might meet," she said, thinking of her encounter
with DJ P0N-3 the other day. "The only other thing is... since I
just bought a house here in Ponyville, I don't have a ton of
bits to spare at the moment. I wouldn't be able to pitch in much
to get a place."

The gryphon clicked her beak softly. "I can totally do frills
and dresses." She said with a bob of her head." She said with a
grin. "Something...dark lace, maybe with subtle blue-hot
flames.." She said thinking before she shrugged her shoulders.
"Ah, don't worry about the Bits. Call it an investment in a new
friendship." She said with a small twitch of her wings, her eyes
glancing around as she looked around the candles, sniffing one
then the other, her leonine tail swishing, her throat fairly
rumbling as she purred.
"Just gotta find a place and a way to buy." She said with a soft
click of her beak. "Candles and Clothing...not a bad name..think
of it less as the content as the *theme* of the story."

"Ooh, that does sound pretty," Kindle said, envisioning the
dress Kit described. Her ears flicked back briefly in surprise
when Kit told her not to worry about the money. Well, that was
an offer she couldn't refuse. "Alright, then. I haven't heard of
any buildings for sale, but like I said, I'm new here, so there
are probably a bunch that I don't know about. Uh, just a sec, I
think I've got a customer."
Kindle turned her attention to a mint green mare who'd asked for
more cinnamon candles for a party yesterday than Kindle had in
her cart at the time. She'd made sure to stock up this morning,
and sure enough, the mare bought nearly all of the cinnamon
candles. After completing the exchange and thanking the mare for
her business, Kindle faced Kit again. "Looks like I may have
some bits to chip in after all," she said, totaling the profit
from the mare's large purchase on a receipt. "Although I do
wonder why she needed quite so many cinnamon candles."

Kit shrugged her wings a little bit, causing the harness to
jingle. "Let me look around a bit..." She said with a fluffing
of her wings. "I'm going to take a peek around and if I find
anything, I'll come back and let you know, Okay?, Okay." She
said flicking her tail. "Keep those candles lit!" She said with
a wink, before she strode off.
(T-T-TIME SKIP)
After about..oh, a couple of hours, in which Kindle could see
the oddly colored gryphon duck from place to place, she could
almost see a lot of money being transacted, before with a
cheerful Chirp, Kit landed beside her! "Well Partner...found us
a place. I don't think they like gryphons here...they tried to
charge me extra...but ah well, It's a good place, c'mon!" She
said chirping gently in her excitement, before clicking her
beak. "Oh, your..cart. Hrmn. Well." She said lashing her tail.
"Want to pull it over to the building?" She asked, as she
indicated with a foreclaw a building that sat about a block
behind the square, a two story building with a broad front,It
appeared to have a broad first floor, with two 'turrets' which
indicated two seperate rooms. "See? A show room, and two
bedrooms! One for me, one for you and coal." She said her tail
swishing, clicking her beak, not a thought in the world that she
hadn't included her partner in it, but hey! It was free space
right? Silly arrogant gryphon.

"Alright, good luck," Kindle said to the griffon as she left to
begin searching for a building. Kindle managed the cart, taking
time with the indesicive ponies to help them figure out what
they wanted to buy and working quickly for ponies who seemed
impatient or in a hurry to get somewhere. In between customers,
she kept an eye on Kit, who passed through the square in all
different directions, dashing from one location to the next. She
also began testing different scent combinations from the vials
she had brought with her: one drop from a black vial and three
from the red, or should it be two each from the red and the
pink? One of her experimental scents was so overpoweringly
flowery that she gagged when she sniffed it, and the other
salesponies nearby began to give her dirty looks. Fortunately,
Kindle had delt with many smell mishaps before, and quickly
performed a spell to dissipate the unpleasant scent. By the time
Kit returned, she had four different potential scents for the
griffin to try out.
Kindle inspected the building from a distance when Kit pointed
it out to her. It had the same style as many of the buildings in
Ponyville, very different from the fancy designs in Canterlot
that she was used to, but becoming more familiar each day. "Two
bedrooms? Uh, well... I had assumed I'd be staying in my own
house," Kindle said in surprise. Even though she had just bought
the little house, she had already become rather attached to it.
"Ah, we can figure it out later. Let's go check the place out!"
Kindle packed up her cart and began pulling it across the
square. As they were walking, Kindle opened her saddlebag and
levitated the four vials of trial scents to Kit. "Here, smell
these, and tell me if they're any good for your cherry candle."
