The Best Night Ever (Private with The_Pariah)

"Here you are, ma'am." The waiter says, returning shortly with Paladin's order. He sets it down on the table in front of him. "Enjoy."

"I will, thank you." He flashes another smile, before sipping the glass of water carefully.

"You're welcome." The waiter bows as he departs, leaving Paladin to himself at the table.

Paladin's horn began to glow gently as he cut the bagel apart, eating a few pieces in rapid succession, purring in delight.

As is almost always the case in Canterlot, nopony paid him any attention, allowing him to finish his meal in peace.

Paladin murred contently, leaving enough bits on the table to pay the bill, as well as a decent tip, before walking out into the town square again.

Once again, the square was full of crowded ponies, none of whom paid any attention to him as he emerged from the cafe.

This is easier than expected... He walked down Main Street, looking at the different stores on offer.

There were many jewellery shops on the side, with a few tourist shops and clothes stores.

This is... actually rather easy. He walked into a clothes store, glancing at the various garments.

There were many different types of garment, some of which he recognised from Harmony's huge pile. The others were very elaborate, with all sorts of patterns and extra additions of precious stones.

Paladin rolled his eyes, walking through the store.

All there was in the store was more of the same type of clothes, with a bored-looking earth pony manning the counter further in.

"Ah excuse me sir." He asked as he approached the counter. "Could you tell me if you have anything... particularly interesting?"

He waved a hoof nonchalantly. "Everything here is interesting. Else none of it is, and you're in the wrong shop."

"Oh come now, surely you must have something... exciting?" He asked, leaning over the counter.

The cashier sighs and stares him in the eyes. "We've got lots of dresses, if that's what you're asking. What kind do you like?"

Paladin groaned and got off the bench. "You just... ugh, never mind." He pun on his hoof, walking off to find somewhere more interesting.

"Bye." The cashier waves goodbye and reassumes his bored expression.

Paladin rolls his eyes and steps into the main street again, hunting for something exciting.

There aren't many types of shops in the town square, most of them selling dresses and trinkets.

Paladins sighs and walks back towards his house.

He re-enters the relatively deserted street, once against drawing no attention.

"That was so easy..." He muttered, not payinga ttention to the shadows as he approached his door.

"Welcome back!" Harmony says cheerfully as Paladin returns. "So, what did you do?"
