Cross-Stitch felt the air around them thicken, but the doctors laughter seemed to clear it up, allowing him the time to breathe, "Your wife sounded like an amazing person." He said, he felt a bit of sorrow for not having the chance to meet such an amazing and talented pony. The story switched to him though, and it was his turn to tell the tale. "My story...?" He looked up to the light above them, looking past the bright bulb and into his past: "My story started when I was young... I was born and raised in Canterlot by my mother who loved sewing... My father was an artist who traveled the world painting," Cross-Stitch laughed at this, "Good ol' dad... Nothing stopped his painting, not even us..." He meant it in good nature, but the though sent a tinge of pain up his heart, because it was true. "Mother taught me to sew, taught me to live, showed me manners and etiquette." To this day, he could remember her lessons by heart. "She took me to a fashion show, and that's where I discovered my love for fashion." He absentmindedly put a hoof against his red scarf, the first thing he ever made, "I made this scarf, it was my first piece of clothing, and that's when I earned my cutie mark... I run a clothing store not far from here now," He began to laugh, "If only mom and dad could see it now..." He gently shook his head and his mane flowed with it, waving from side to side.
