Sweet Deal: Well well well, if it ain’t the Prince of Cider ‘imself, gracing us with his presence
 
Sirius Veil: Pardon?
 
Sweet Deal: Oh, please do excuse me, your majesty but ah cant help but notice that you seem to take quite a bit of interest in my families cider.
 
Sirius Veil: … Ponyville is our home. We see no problem in helping local businesses with sales. [Takes a sip] That and your cider is quite delicious.
 
Sweet Deal: Well thank you for the business, your highness but that’s quite a haul you’re pulling. That ain’t all for you, is it?
 
Sirius Veil: What business is that of yours?
 
Sweet Deal: Ah’d just hate to be blamed if the ‘noble’ Prince of the Sun was found drunker than a skunk in the middle of the town square on my families product. Bad for business, you see.
 
Sirius Veil: Worry not, Miss Deal. If this was capable of getting us that far, you’d have no one but this prince buying your wares.
 

 
Sirius is a mild alcoholic, though only because he has a hard time getting drunk as opposed to not drinking a lot. Throughout the day, he can often be found with a bottle near by though has learned to keep such behavior out of the public eye. As such, the only ones who notice are his family and the Apples, who sell him their alcoholic cider.
 
Sweet Deal has only recently noticed that a lot of their cider has been bought by their local royal palace and decided to tease the prince who came by to get some order. As time goes by, Sweet ends up being the only one aware of just how much liquor Sirius drinks daily
