Sketch smiles at the words, thinking them rather clever.

"I think I'll go back home to see if I can finish that sunset." Sketch decides.

Sketch trots back through the pleasant smells and sights of Ponyville. The forested hill with the barn cresting it casts a shadow across the valley and river next to Ponyville. He also catches glints from the morning sun reflecting off an observatory mounted upon a tree! The peculiarity of this is striking.

He soon arrives back at his little home.

Sketch is once more in the market, but it is much more bustling at lunch-time, just like it was yesterday.

The calls of market sellers selling various foods ring out. A large variety of ingredient-sellers as well as sellers of prepared foods are about. The restaurants have all set out their outside tables and ponies are sitting at tables enjoying the scheduled sunshine.

Sketch identifies a few cries of 'fresh veg' in the throng and sees a number of likely looking stalls. At the nearest one there is a friendly looking mare with a large pouffy orange mane. There is currently a queue:

"It's a good thing that I have some berries if I start getting too hungry." Sketch thinks, counting the number of ponies before him in the queue.

Sketch's counting gets up to two fairly quickly :P

The brightly coloured orange vendor mare concludes her transaction with the maroon earth mare.

"Come back soon Miss Icicle."

She says in an assured tone, before turning to the stallion in front of Sketch.

"Chocolate! I think you'll enjoy the new stock from the West field."

She begins friendlily.

"Well, nothing like counting to pass the time." Sketch thinks.

"Now, what else to do..."

Soon the transaction with the stallion is concluded and the shop mare turns to Sketch.

"Sorry about that, it gets busy round this time. Say - you're new here aren't you? Moved into the cottage near the orchards?"

She begins, friendlily.

"You too. My friends call me Carrot."

She replies with a smile.

"Sketch eh? You an artist?"

She says, interested.

The mare smiles.

"Might have a job for you then. But first what was it you were after?"

She turns to the business at hoof.

"Just some carrots for my lunch." Sketch says, curious about the possibility of work.

"Well you've come to the right place. Nopony's carrots are as big or juicy as mine."

She claims, proudly.

"How many do you want?"

Sketch thinks for a quick bit."Two of them, please." Sketch asks politely.

"That'll be 4 bits."

The mare says, with an edge to her voice.

She smirks and raises a hoof.

"You Canterlotians... my carrots are good, but they're not worth that much. We barter here, or at least us farm ponies tend to. I'll let you off though - 2 bits is fine."

She takes 2 bits leaving Sketch to keep the other two.

"About the job - I just need a new sign making for my stall. This one's tatty. If you're interested meet me after market in the evening when I've packed up."

She says briskly.

"Tataa now."

Sketch is aware of quite a few ponies behind him queuing in the bustling market.

"Have a nice day!" Sketch says back, before heading out to look around some more.

"Fluttershy is a rather shy individual, from what I can gather. She probably has a few close friends, but she definitely is not a social butterfly. Who could her friends be? After all, I don't want to just arrive by myself. It might be rude..." Sketch thinks, starting to wonder if it would be worth it.

Huh, Deja vu.
