Conor Colton

Hey Angie, good to see your back

*gigantic yawn* Sorry guys....just woke up, anything new?

Colton continued working on, he had just finished up the last hole and was feeling pretty good about himself, regardless of his past injury. He looked over the clothes a few more times to make sure he hadn't missed anything and to his surprise he didn't. He brought the clothes over to Flux as she analysed Colton's journal who it seems was fascinated by the books content. "Well, here it is Flux." Colton said with a great sense of accomplishment in his voice as he presented the repaired clothes to Flux. He wanted to know if he had did as much of a competent job as he thought so he was inclined to ask, "So....how did I do?" Colton asked in a shy manner. He also wondered what Flux thought of his past adventures, but he could see by her body language and how much she was invested in the journal that she had obviously taken interest, this was different for Colton as he never really told many people of his escapades, as he usually kept to himself when he entered a new town or city.

"I would love to." Colton said proudly. "Let's see, I remember when I used to live in Cloudsdale, considering that everything is made out of clouds there they do a very good job with the architecture, and I remember visiting the weather factories it was very interesting to see how a rainbow was made I'll tell you that much." Colton paused to see if he could remember any other places, "I remember once I frequented Ponyville, I recall staying at a very charming inn and I was surrounded by a rather odd company including this one pony who could only communicate through morse code by tapping her hooves, very fascinating to say the least." Colton had always having trouble remembering where he had visited and the exact details of each place but that's when it hit him, he kept a journal on all these things just in case. He reached into his pocket and pulled out said journal and passed it over to Flux. "Read away, anything you want to know about anywhere in Equestria is in that journal, more or less anyway." Colton said as he let out a small chuckle.

"Very observant Flux, and yes I am from Cloudsdale but that's only about half correct." Colton stated in an unsure tone, he didn't want to confuse Flux anymore so he quickly explained. "It's not confusing really, it's just that I was born in Cloudsdale but my parents couldn't afford to keep me so the put me with a foster family in Manehatten." Colton cringed at these memories but he quickly composed himself and continued. "So now, I travel, doing odd jobs here and there and just enjoying the sights that Equestria has to offer, and it would appear that one of these odd jobs has me staying here in Canterlot for about a month or so and that's why I asked you before what this place is like." Colton exhaled as he finally got all that out of his system. "But Flux, if you don't mind me asking, have you ever travelled before, and if you have then where to?" Colton asked with an inquisitive look on his face.

"Thanks Miss Flux, it's really nice to hear that, oh and by the way, you don't need to call me sir, it's just too formal for me if that's alright?" Colton continued on with the sewing and found himself to be moderately good at it, considering that he had never tried it before. He tried to think of a way to break up the monotony of sewing, and then he remembered why he was in this position to begin with, and that Cross-Stitch was upstairs making his suit for the gala and seeing that he was staying in Canterlot for a while now he wanted to find out more about the city. Seeing nothing else to talk about he asked about it, "So Miss Flux, I have to ask, what's it like living in Canterlot? I always hear some really positive things about this place no matter where I go everypony seems to compliment this city, is it really as good as ponies say?"

"Well uh, here let me show you." Colton said as he gently grabbed the needle, "Now just hold the clothes steady for me ok?" Colton asked as he recalled how Cross-Stitch had worked on his coat earlier, and what techniques Cross-Stitch had used, Colton used aswell. "Ok, so first you thread the needle like this." Colton said as he showed Flux the proper movements, "And then you push the needle through like so.." Colton said as he continued to show Flux the proper way, "And then you weave it through each hole, side to side, and then you pull. And that's pretty much it I guess." Colton stated as he closed the first hole. He continued on with Flux's aid until he broke the silence, "Miss Flux if you don't mind me saying so, it seems to me that you're an incredibly smart individual. You seem to have a way of explaining such simple matters in such detailed and literal ways that I really think is very fascinating, I think that if more ponies put as much thought behind their words as you do, then the entire world would benefit for it." Colton stated, meaning every single word that came out of his mouth. Colton wondered were that sudden compliment came from and why he said it, he couldn't think of a reason why he just, did. He felt incredibly awkward and tried to lose himself in the sewing, but to no avail.

Colton reached out for Flux's hoof and held on as she helped him up, all the kind word Flux had said had put Colton's mind at ease. "Thank you Miss Flux, I really appreciate your sympathy." Colton then felt a small brush on his leg he turned to also thank Tesla, "And thank you too Tesla." Colton stated as he smiled again. He was naturally a bit apprehensive on using magic as he had never used it to help him before, but he figured that there couldn't be any harm in it. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea Miss Flux, in fact I think it's the best idea I heard all day." Colton said with relief as he never really took a chance to rest the entire day. Colton wondered something and then asked Flux about it, "If you don't mind me asking Miss Flux, why are you so inclined to help a total stranger like me?" Colton asked as he wondered why he took time out of his day to help Cross-Stitch earlier.

Colton stood still as Flux tended to his wound, he tried to not make it a big deal to keep his own self image clear but his cry of agony a few seconds ago disputed any semblance of that, "I'm fine really, there's nothing to wor-" Colton stopped as he felt Flux tending to his wound. He remained still until it was all safely bandaged up. Afterwards Colton turned to give Flux his thanks, "Thank you Miss Flux, sorry for that, it appears I'm well, for lack of a better phrase, all hooves when it comes to sewing. Sorry to have to worry you Miss Flux, I should have been more careful." Colton stated as he sulked against a wall and slowly slid down it and eventually sat on the floor, the lowering his face in shame. Now Colton had accomplished two things he said he wouldn't do, one was look stupid infront of Flux, and two was hold down the fort until Cross-Stitch was done, but he failed to do both of those and he felt great shame for it, which was evident in his body language.

(no problem) "Science huh? I heard about that a few times on my travels, they say it's fascinating, what's science actually like?" Colton asked as he was genuinely interested in knowing. "And you fixed a clock tower with magic? Seriously? I gotta say Miss that's very impressive, I don't think I've ever heard anything like it before." Colton stated as he began sewing up the holes in the clothes. As he continued sewing he found that he wasn't half bad at it, he then responded to Flux's pet story, "I don't mind your babbling at all Miss Flux, you have some very fascinating tales to tell it seems." Colton stated as he continued to sew, content that he didn't make a mistake yet, but it seems that that over confidence spelt disaster. Colton misjudged an angle of the needle and ended up cutting the bottom of his hoof, since he was a pegasus he didn't really use his hooves anyway, but it still hurt, "Ouch! Oh for the love of-" Colton stopped himself for two reasons, one was the pain, and two was that he didn't want to look stupid, but he accomplished the second reason regardless.

"Uh....wow that was, wow." Colton took a piece of blue fabric off the shelf and floated back down to Flux, he presented the piece of fabric and continued the conversation. "Well, I'm glad he's alright anyway. So you said you have a mentor then, what are you studying then?" Colton asked as he tried to continue his friendly chat. "And by the way Miss, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get such a fascinating animal as a pet? I have to admit that I've never seen many ferrets on my travels." Colton asked as he hoped that this question wasn't too personal. "Now to the matter of the wrecked clothes." Colton said as he examined the clothes closely, he didn't have the foggiest idea what to do but he wanted to sound as competent as possible as he could see by her dialect that Flux was a very well read pony and he didn't want to give the impression that he was, well, stupid. "Ok, let me see what I can do, one moment Miss Flux, I just need to examine it more closely, if you don't mind of course." Colton said whilst keeping his calm smile.

Oh ok, thanks, just wanted to make sure

"Well it's very nice to meet ya Miss Flux. I'll just get that fabric for you right now." Colton said as he felt slightly more confident in his abilities as a store clerk. He flew up to a high shelf and searched through all the fabrics until he realised he had failed to answer Flux's question. "Oh yeah, this shop is new, and if you don't mind me saying, your it's second ever customer." Colton stated as he smiled down at Flux and Tesla, "So tell me, what colour of fabric are you looking for Miss?" Colton asked as he tried to sound as polite as possible, he had just meet the pony (and ferret) and wanted to make a good impression on them both. Colton continued searching as he waited for a response, he decided to pass the time with some conversation, he just followed what Cross-Stitch had said before and that he should ask how the clothes were broken, "So, uh, Miss Flux, if you don't mind me asking. How did your friend damage their clothes so badly?"

:3 EDIT: Just for curiosity's sake, what time is it to you guys?

......-45 you say..... my argument is invalid

Oh right..... I like being called "dear Conor" :3

Very cold.... I had to walk home today in a thin school blazer and flimsy white top...... It was unpleasant....

You have no idea how cold Ireland is right now. Trust me Angie, I feel your pain. *hugs Angie* Uhh Fawkes? What do you mean about these....orbs?

(ooc: thanks for joining Neoniie ) Colton was surprised that a new customer had entered so soon, he nearly fell out of his chair with the shock but kept himself up with his wings. He then turned his attention to the new pony that had appeared seemingly out of nowhere, he put on a smile and began to speak. "Hello there, welcome to The Perfect Fit. I'm Colton, how may I help you?" Colton stated in a calm rational voice, but secretly he was more nervous than he had ever been before. It had been a while since he had worked in a small store like this and he didn't have time to get relaxed. But he took joy in knowing that Cross-Stitch was upstairs if he needed his help. Colton tried not to look but he had never seen a pony with a pet Ferret before, but then again he had never seen a pony with a pet sparrow before so that quickly shut him up.

But Angie, remember that you're awesome at other things Also your in Canada which automatically makes you 20%, no scratch that 100% cooler

You're on the way to work, seriously? It's midnight here in Ireland And thanks I'll pick a suitable character and then PM you the details, if that's alright? EDIT: Actually I think that has to go on hold for now, if thats ok?

Yeah, that was me sorry about that, I hope all is forgiven. (by the way is anypony available for RP at the moment?)
