Flirt a little

Agreeing to help her is a no brainer, the princess is a little nerdy and slight but an alicorn is rare and you haven't actually ever been with one. You give her a bundle of the fresh rutbloom for her hair "I know it isn't a crown but they are my favorite."

You smile and wink at her which makes her blush again and you start leading her around the shop, pointing out various plants and explaining the alchemical uses of the flowers you carry that actually have strong magical properties, some poison joke you keep in a locked case that can be used to supercharge some spells contingent on them being humorous, some wolf's bane that can make powerful sleeping spells and be used to effectively stop bleeding, an orange flower that when consumed turns one's coat white and enhances control of fire, a wide assortment of plants that enhance fertility which is a specialty of yours.

She doesn't even ask about the flower you gave her. You know the effects well enough to see that despite her being an alicorn they are working fine. "So that is my shop, I doubt anything you would need for serious alchemical research is here that all grows in the wild and refuses to be cultivated. If you want you can borrow this book..."

You don't get to finish as she snatches it from the table with her mauve aura starting to flip through it quickly. "It is pretty dense if you need any help with finding the things I would be glad to. We can discuss the particulars in a few days. Maybe over dinner?" you smiles and put some more flowers in her saddle bag getting close enough to smell her heat clearly. The flowers will keep building up for a while to make breaking the nerdy girl's facade a little easier. Nothing you say is penetrating her now that she has a new book but you are sure that she won't mind if you just keep your date with her regardless
