He approaches with the tiara but you put up a hoof. "No, thanks. I'll leave tiaras to the princesses."

He bows his head and backs away. "I understand. Perhaps there's something else?"

You consider the half-finished shop behind him and all the shining bits of jewel he's arranging. "Yeah, maybe." You scan the jewelry in an effort to distract yourself.

"Of course, all things can be bargained for." He offers a kindly smile. "Is there anything you like?" He moves to your side. "You get to be my very first customer."

"That is a high honor. One I'd like to live up to." You eye some of the better pieces, then see a smaller bracelet. It doesn't look as fancy, but there's a power to it. It's such striking bold reds and purples. "That one. It's quite pretty. Can I try it on?"

"Certainly." He levitates it over to you and slips it onto your foreleg. "Looks lovely. Perhaps some diamonds along your withers?"

You giggle at that. "I think I'm fine. I don't want to glitter randomly." You turn your arm left and right, admiring how the light plays off the bracelet. "But this, I like this! I'll take it."

"For your wife, perhaps?" He claps his hooves together. "For a price, I can inscribe a love message in there for you."

You fidget at that. "Oh, um, I'll think about it." You cough into a hoof. "I'd have to find a mare to take my hoof first."

He gestures at the window to the shop, where Rarity is walking past. "Ah, I see! Why don't you follow your heart, young one? That bracelet can amplify any pony's charm, if you so wish."

Your eyes light up with possibilities.

You:

A: Go try to woo a pony!

B: Be good! Enjoy the day with a new bit of bling.
