Zephyr: Muffie! Baby! Who would have imagined I'd see you here?!
Muppet: In Ponyville or in your shop? Mom told me you wanted me to stop by after school…so I think you were expecting me-
Zephyr: Oh hush you little stickler~! Now come have a seat and tell uncle Zeph how your day was.
Muppet: It was fine…kinda chilly-
[As she talks, Zephyr starts messing with her hair]
Muppet: Hey, d'you think you could cut that out? I'm going for a disheveled forest Nymph look and you're ruining it.
Zephyr: NONSENSE. Bedraggled is out and pristine is in!
Muppet: Okay…why did you call me here? Mom was just as confused-
Zephyr: SHE ISN'T COMING IN IS SHE?!
Muppet: OW. No! She's in a school meeting. Why??
Zephyr: WHEW. Listen, kid, I gotta level with you…I need you to pretend to be my daughter for a day!
Muppet: Pardon?
Zephyr: Listen…there's this stallion named Ponet from Ponyville!
Muppet: Okay…
Zephyr: And I overheard him saying he loved kiddos to Lyra and Bon Bon!
Muppet: So I need ta' help you get smooches?
Zephyr: EXACTLY. Then I'll say the missus took you when we start dating and he'll be so deeply in love that he won't really care!
Muppet: Ummmmmm…I don't know if that will work…Ponet lives in Ponyville and so do I. He'll definitely see me again. Also, if you get married I wanna come to the wedding to eat cake because that is my past agreement with you.
Zephyr: Oh poo. HMMMMMM OKAY, I have make-up!
Muppet: I'm not sure but I think there are more reasons than that. Also why me? Why not my brother or sister…or a foal who isn't like in the family?
Zephyr: Yer ma doesn't trust me with baby foals and your older brother still hasn't gotten over the time I bleached his mane!
Muppet: Heh. That was funny.
Zephyr: PLEASE HELP ME KIDDO! I need to find love or I'll shrivel up. Ponet is just so kind and gentle and his flank is just so-
[Remembers he's talking to a child.]
Zephyr: Well no matter. Will you help me?
Muppet: How about you just say you're a super close uncle, who doesn't use his niece for his own personal gain. So like…a lie?
Zephyr: FINE. We'll go with your plan, but you gotta sing my praises!!
Muppet: I can't think of any so you're gonna hafta script this.
Zephyr: BRAT! Well, I'm still cleaning you up, you gross hippie!
Muppet: HOW IS THIS BENEFITTING ME? Do I at least get 20 bits?
Zephyr: 15 Bits and I'll buy you ice cream as long as you don't get yourself dirty.
Muppet: DEAL!!

So. Roseverse Zephyr Breeze is a bit different
Firstly, he's a lot younger than Fluttershy. He's maybe 10-12 years younger.
He's barely on speaking terms with Fluttershy and on the thinnest of ice with the rest of her family. Except with Miss Muppet.
Despite their banter, she actually genuinely likes him and he does spend time with her a lot. He might be manipulative but so is Miss Muppet. She learned from the best!
