Sivanro opened the door while looking at the light tan mare with a grey mane that walked right up to his home. It was pretty average other than the crystal greenhouse on the side of the building. The mare's name was Mayor Mare and she had come to check on the resident half-demon due to him being so close to Ponyvile and the last several years of villain attack on the town.

"You must be the new vill... I mean pegasus that had paperwork about the house here. Sivanro Jullifer Nelian correct?"

Sivanro takes a moment to hold a hoof out while Mayor doesn't reach out to shake it.

"Aw, Mayor Mare, welcome to my home now. I do hope that you won't forget the lunch we will be having here while talking about the paperwork."

He held the door open with a wing while he sighed before reluctantly walking into the house. He shut the door behind her as the two entered the dining room before he pulls a chair for her to sit down at the table. The pegasus walked into the kitchen as the cake was burning before he panicked a bit.

"Oh no, the cake burning. But what if... I fly to Suger Cube Corner and buy a tray of cupcakes? That could work and she won't suspect a single thing."

He opened a window to go fly before Mayor walked in and saw him touching the windowsill preparing to fly off.

"Sivanro!"

"Mayor I was just uh... stretching my back by using the windowsill! Weather training! Care to join me?"

"Why is there smoke coming from your oven?"

"Um.. oh that isn't smoke that steam, steam from the steam muffins we are having! Mmm... Steamed muffins"

Mayor Mare looked at him before sighing and leaving the room while Sivanro bolted out of the window to get a few cupcakes. He got back from the trip while closing the window and walking right into the room with the cupcakes on a tray.

"Mayor I do hope that you are ready for some soft cupcakes."

Mayor looked at Sivanero a bit confused about him saying that.

"I thought you were making steamed muffins?"

Sivanro quickly shakes his head.

"I said steamed steamed cakes! That is what I called cupcakes"

He set the tray of cupcakes on the table before sitting in a chair near the mare. Mayor thinks for a moment

"You call cupcakes 'steamed cakes?'"

Sivanro quickly replied to her.

"Yes, it is a regional dialect!"

mayor calls his bluff

"Uh-huh... uh, what section of town?"

he takes a few seconds to think about this.

"Uhh... eastern Ponyvile."

"Really? Well, I'm from the apple section, and I've never heard anyone use the phrase 'steamed cakes.'"

Sivanro takes his time waiting for her to finish while knowing out to trick her.

"Oh, not the apple area, no. It's a woodland expression."

Sivanro and Mayor eat one each while the mare recognizes the cupcakes and sets the half-eaten bake good down.

"I see. You know, these cupcakes are similar to the ones that the Cakes and Pinkie Pie make at Suger Cube."

"Well, their Sivanro cakes. Old family recipe."

"For steamed cakes?"

"Yes."

She was getting annoyed about him at this point while looking at the pegasus.

"Yeah, so you called them 'steamed cakes' despite the fact they are obviously not steamed?"

Sivanro for once was a bit baffled due to being in a corner from all of this questioning

"We- hey- you know, the- one thing I should- excused me for just a second."

"Take all the time you need."

Sivanro yawns while walking back into the room while the door was swinging open and closed.

"Well, that was a good time that we should talk about the paperwork another time. It is getting late outside and wouldn't want some creature getting to you."

"Yes, I should be- oh Celestia, what is happening in there!?"

Sivanro was sweating while thinking about a random event that happened in Equestria. His kitchen was on fire, he had but a few moments left before she decide to call all of his lies

"The Crystalling?"

"Uh- The Crystalling!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the world, localized entirely within your kitchen!?"

"Yes!"

For once the mare was confused about this and doubting him but, again if he was telling the true.

"May I see it?"

"No"

As the two leave the house Sheep screams out of the window

"Baaaaaaa baaa baaaaa baa baa baaaa!"

"No Sheep, it's just ponies using the crystal heart."

"Well, Sivanro, you are an odd pony, but I must say... you steam a good cake"

Mayor was heading back to Ponyvile before turning back as Sivanro gave her a wave with a hoof while Sheep screamed out of the window.

"Baaaa! Baaaa!"[/font]
