Candles For Sale [Open - See OOC]

[Kindle]

Kindle carefully levitated the candles she'd made last night into her cart, checking for any dents or nicks she might have missed in the low light when she'd crafted them. There wasn't much she could do to prevent the light scratches that accumulated as her wares jostled back and forth on the trip into town, but at least she could make sure there weren't any major flaws to begin with. The last batch, periwinkle blue and lavender scented, had come out particularly smooth. She almost wanted to keep them for herself, but she needed them to fill out her stock for today, and they wouldn't do much good sitting on her shelves at home. Besides, she cared more about the smell and quality of light, while appearance was of more immediate importance at the marketplace. With all her goods settled, she closed the sides of her cart.

 

"Are you coming or not?" She directed her question at the windowsill, where her cat Coal was basking in the early morning light. He flicked an ear in her direction and stretched out slowly. "This is your chance to get a cart ride into town," she said, beginning to hitch the cart to her harness. "If you get lonely later, you'll have to make the walk on your own." Coal made no sign of having heard her, but as soon as she began walking, he leapt from the windowsill to the flat top of the cart, where he curled up. "Yeah, that's what I thought."

 

The weather was clear as usual, with only a few stray clouds dotting the sky. Hopefully there would be plenty of ponies strolling about Ponyville's Marketplace willing to stop and smell the candles. Kindle parked her cart in its usual spot and began setting up, storing her harness in the back and shooing Coal off the top so that she could affix her sign. Once she'd arranged the the candles to her liking, she turned to face the square with a bright smile. "Candles for sale!"
