>Bottlecap's eyes became brighter and more eager, almost hungry. "Now for the best part! You'll be so amazed that you'll never want to leave!" Once again, Bottlecap motioned for Anon to follow and she led him through a dark oak door at the end of the room.
Trailing just behind, Anon entered this new room expecting the need to light lanterns again. Instead, he was met with persistent soft glow.
>"There are no bottles like these anywhere in Equestria, Anon. Only I make 'em, and Grandpa taught me how to do it. It takes a long time, and the materials you need are very rare. Takes a while to collect 'em all." Bottlecap quietly shut the door behind them, letting the latch slowly swing back into position. Just as quietly, she turned and extracted the key from the lock.
These sounds escaped Anon's ear as he took in the ethereal scene. These bottles were more exquisite and intricate than any he had seen so far, all in fantastical shapes or representations of real objects with embellishing decoration. What's more is that the glass itself and what was contained within glowed mysteriously. Anon turned and looked to Bottlecap, as if to ask for an explanation.
>Bottlecap just smiled pleasantly. "Take a look around, Anon!"
He did so. First the workmanship of the bottles so impressed him that it captured his entire focus. Then, he began to notice what was inside. In one he saw a blue pony with white mane standing upon a patch of green moss. It had a distinctly glassy appearance but was exquisitely detailed. "I can't believe how good these are, Bottlecap. I can see the individual hairs in this pony's mane. I don't think even the best human glassmakers could do something like that."
>Bottlecap did a little bow in acknowledgment.
Moving on to others, Anon saw other little glass ponies, or trees, or little animals. Each with the same exceptional level of detail. "Wow! Is this some sort of magical glass or something?"
>"In a way it is, but it's not a spell or anything. I don't need a unicorn to do magic on them or anything. I make all these completely myself."
"Oh. You know I didn't mean to insult you. It's just that I've never seen anyting like it."
>"No offense taken, Anon!" Bottlecap's eyes drifted to the table in the center of the room, to a certain bottle there. "You know, I was...um...making a bottle for you."
"Really? But, we hardly know each other, Bottlecap."
>"Mmmm hmmm! I always really liked you. You're, sooooo interesting!" said Bottlecap, looking Anon up and down "...and I wanted to give you an amazing gift."
Anon was overwhelmed, but flattered. "Um, that's really nice of you, Bottlecap. I wish I knew; I would have gotten something for you too."
>"No worries!" Bottlecap trotted over to the table and pointed with a hoof to the bottle. "Here it is!...It's not ready yet, but what do you think? You can hold it if you like." She smiled brightly as she spoke.
