She looked to the side as they walked. On the patio of some fancy restaurant, a stallion was chatting with a mare, his tone as stuffed-up as a fresh doughnut hemorrhaging glistening jelly soaking up powdered sugar, his spoon glowing with a regal-purple hornglow as it was about to shovel tiramisu into his mouth as he spoke. As they passed, he went silent. He glanced their way. The mare glanced their way then gave him a scathing look. Synth simply did not have this effect on ponies. Like most emotions, the tinge of jealousy the scent of burning flowers never made it to her face, but not only for the fact that she was ... well, her. It was because something else was there, a cool breeze in her mind diverting the odor. Something about the circumstance eased her as quick as it stung her, and she looked to her other side to Fleur. The seeming easy confidence ... Fleur was like another she had met: established, the rhythm of her character marching forward. She was beautiful in the sun.

She looked to Fleur directly, hoping for a hopeful expression to appear on her face and cross the distance between them. They rounded a corner to a narrower and yet still dignified and airy street. Here, smaller art galleries were situated, representing dozens of artists hoping to attract the fanciest clientele that would one day give them the prestige to have a gallery along the main boulevard. They walked by a bronze of an impossibly thin mare holding a pair of stringy Pegasus foals. Their bodies were unnerving as if from a dream, the metal making them seem the subject of a cruel spell, but their wings were coated and torched to be sky-blue and vast. The statue tugged at her, and words beckoned for her attention. "D-Do you like art, Miss Fleur? Or..." |
