Anyways. The most important thing is this right here:
>Spike: You are never gonna believe this! You've heard of Hoity Toity? >Twilight Sparkle: The bigwig fashion hotshot in Canterlot? >Spike: Uh-huh. He heard about your fashion show. Well, maybe I happened to mention it to him... he's coming here all the way from Canterlot to see your work, Rarity! This is another instance of Spike seemingly having some sort of other duties/life connected to Canterlot. I had completely forgotten about this. Actually, I am not sure if it has ever stuck out to me before to me.
>>10706 >Spike's on "royal business." I know it was just an excuse to not have him there but this line I have always remembered. What sort of business was he on? Considering how they have usually acted with Spike being a child (relatively responsible to be entrusted with some duties) I wonder what he would be up too and traveling alone, if even to a safe trip to Canterlot for. Now, this adds a little weight whatever happened here.
There is a lot of interesting implications. Twilight Sparkle talked about Hoity Toity as somebody famous and not personally familar with. A thought comes to mind of Spike having at least some minor brushes with Canterlot high society while doing, IDK, stuff for the princess.
