That certainly wasn't the reaction she was expecting. It seemed as her words and kind gesture were ignored, and she was left with photos hanging in the air while the group she was addressing scattered around, probably to experience everything that Daring Con had to offer. Or perhaps meet up with some friends? Who'd know that...? Their zealotry was somewhat disturbing, but at once quite interesting. She hardly could understand how those ponies put so much fervor into retracing something so simple as fictional story series. The only thing she could probably compare this fervor to, was her own passion towards photography... Yes, seeing it this way, that would probably explain some of mysterious reasons behind their behavior. A smile crawled up on Star's face, as she shook her head in resignation and slight disbelief. She was amused. The way those ponies could enjoy themselves was making her a bit jealous, but it certainly wasn't her field of interest. [colour=#9900cc]"Well, each pony has their own, right?"[/colour] - a simple thought crawled up to her mind as she levitated the photos towards herself again. [colour=#9900cc]"Hmm... perhaps some of them will be of any use, I might-"[/colour] [colour=#0000ff]“I must say mademoiselle, but you look rather regal for a photographer.”[/colour] In a place like Daring Con, one could expect everything. The amount of commotion and all the noises accompanying it was simply unthinkable. But a silent voice flowing directly to her ear was a thing she could never predict here, even if all the treasures of Equestria were offered to her for that deed. She took a quick step aside, startled, and turned towards the 'intruder' who invaded her personal space. That caused her to lose concentration on the photos, which were now probably laying somewhere on the floor being trampled by the indifferent crowd. 'Elegance'. That was the first word that came to her mind. Second thoughts reminded her that she's on DD convention though... it was just an another cosplayer. [colour=#9900cc]"Regal? Well... thank you, I guess."[/colour] - she promptly replied with a smile. The way this stallion approached her was a bit creepy. But she had to admit, his choice of words was unique. She was aware of her appearance, but at once doubted if she was ever called 'regal'. Still... [colour=#9900cc]"Excuse me though, but I'm at work. If I was to respond to anypony bothering me I'd never- Oh..."[/colour] - that's when her eyes landed on the VIP badge. Her smile disappeared, being replaced with an expression of sheer surprise. That little fact changed everything. [colour=#9900cc]"I'm sorry, I didn't notice that badge earlier."[/colour] - mare explained in abashment - [colour=#9900cc]"Is there anything I could help you with?"[/colour] - who knew what kind of VIP she stumbled across? Perhaps she could somehow benefit from this situation. Although she didn't know how yet. It seemed as she had completely forgotten about the photos that were probably one of the best taken so far. Seeing how her second thoughts concerning cosplay were inaccurate, Risi started wondering who might this unicorn stallion be. Elegance in daily life wasn't quite common. Unless one could either a) afford it or b) was compelled to maintaining it.
