"Woah!" He was caught by surprise as the cart's owner popped up from behind. A pegasus mare with a coat of vibrant pink and green streaked mane, not too dissimilar to Element of Laughter that he had seen on the newspapers. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't you you there. Apologies."
"It's lovely to make your acquaintance. I'm Marquis, though you may address me as any form of it that may suits you." Her openness with him was rather refreshing from the usual 'hard to get' variety of mares common in Canterlot. "I'm overly fond of candies, but I say it would be a crime not to indulge once in a while, don't you think?"
Picking out a bar of dark chocolate, he fished out his bits and paid her for it with a few extra bits as he deemed her price to be unreasonably low. He was not one to take advantage of others, especially a mare. "Sorry to take up your time and keep you from going home. Thanks for sweetening up my work night, Cherry Bloom. If you'd like to see me at work, I'll be here." He slid a ticket for a House Seat onto her counter. "It's good till next week, you can come anytime you want."
