Stitch Eight [Visual]
[It's a familiar apartment if anybody saw the video of an earth pony on guitar. But there's some commotion, hooves clicking against the floor somehow rather than the usual clop. But nobody's in view...]
A'right! I'm open for commissions! The Gala's comin' up real fast, but I can take on as many orders as I can and get 'em done, damn it!
[Then, a sigh.]
Just drop a scroll, got it? ...And for those who want a sample, here's somethin' I just kinda threw together.
[Samples? What's he mea-- oh. Oh that's definitely a stallion trotting into view of the 'camera', wearing an ornate white dress with lace and pearl, something that couldn't be 'thrown together' if anybody tried. He'd even styled his mane to match, and kicked a back leg to show the flow of the skirts. Well, at least he doesn't look embarrassed to be in the stuff. In fact, he looks awfully comfortable.]
Could be as simple or as fancy as ya want it, but you gotta be able to walk in the stuff, got it? I ain't takin' orders for 30-foot dress trains. You'll thank me later.
[Did he just do a little mane flip? He just did a little mane flip.]

[She frowned when he mentioned Tirek again. But that wasn't his fault for not thinking.]
Thinking at that moment in particular may have interfered with saving Yukiko-senpai.
[Action]
Yeah... I guess I just get tired of bein' called a meathead.
[He neglected to delve any further, instead focusing on finishing the drawing before he passed it along to her.]
[Action]
Who's calling you a meathead?
[What sort of insult was that? Taking the drawing, she looked it over and didn't say anything immediately, free hand coming to her chin.]
[Action]
A large enough amount that I know I need to figure some shit out.
[He lifted his head, ears low.]
I ain't gonna be some kind've genius. That ain't me. But what more can I do, Naoto? If you were me, what would you do?
...Ah...
[He shook his head again.]
Man, this whole self-improvement thing's hard.
[Action]
[Action]
[He pointed to the scroll.]
What I did earlier?
[Action]
[Action]
Yeah, I guess I'm more visual with it. Whadda they call 'em, right-brained?
[Action]
As for other... things, I'm not sure if I can offer any advise for that.
[Action]
Sorry, the topic took a weird turn. Let's... think of that Gala, right?
'Cause somethin' about it bugged me. Seemed like a lotta ponies were kinda jaded or even scared of the event.
[Action]
[She doesn't mind the serious tone their conversation took, but she nodded all the same, prepared to focus again on the Gala.]
They're possibly concerned about every pony being on their best behavior.
[Action]
Hmm. I dunno... we'll look like we're up to a helluva lotta mischief. Can we make both mare and stallion jealous?
[Action]
I'm sure we can.
[Action]
Uh- people dance at these things, right?
[Action]

[Raising a hoof, she lowered her hat even if the fur hid her blush. As for why the hat, habit when she left her room.] You don't have to call me that.
[Action]
Heh, what's that for? It'd be true, y'know!
...And I wouldn't put my trust in this step forward with anybody else.
[His shoulders hitched and he looked down, fidgeting.]
You help me wanna be better with my temper, be more like myself...
[Action]
[She looked down too, her hooves pawing at the ground.]
It's not me doing that though. You're the one who decided to try changing.
[Action]
[He paused, thought, and puffed his chest. Speak your mind, Kanji!]
A muse. I feel like I can do damn near anything I put my mind to! You inspire the hell outta me! Even standing right there.
[Action]
[That had her blushing a little more.]
That's... a bit of a pedestal to put me on. You're not only looking at me like that, are you?
[Action]
You're an amazing friend t'me, too. You- you didn't bat a freakin' eyelash when ya first saw me, and not once made fun of me for any part of me. Not once.
You've been so damn good t'me and for months I was too scared to tell you how much I appreciated it, appreciated you, damn it.
[Though he fidgeted again, he fought to keep from looking away, but the smile was shy.]
...And a man doesn't back down from bein' honest to himself and those close to him. So...
[More fidgeting. Dark fur did nothing for the new color to his face.]
...I-I love you, is what I'm sayin'.
[Action]
[All the things he said, how could he? She had been so blind to his affections; how could he still feel so much for her? It made her embarrassed.]
Kanji... [Her ears lowered in her hat and she was red again beneath blue fur.] ... I love you, too. A-At least, if that is an accurate way to surmise these feelings.
