Grat Herding

[sweetapple-seed.livejournal.com]

[With all these people disappearing and then reappearing, one of the native girls is getting really quite confused... but, y'know, at least she's stayed in one place! Applejack should feel grateful, but it's putting a right old delay on classes starting up again. This hard worker can't stand so much free time!

Honestly. She'd try to put up a stall somewhere and try and drum up some business, but either the delivery's been held up or Time Compression sent her apples into the future.

So, right now? She's training in the training centre. Or, more specifically, she's giving her dog Winona a work out.]

All right, you bring 'em all back here now!

[So yeah. She's herding grats.]

Well, I gotta keep up Winona's training one way or another!

Winona?

[ A moment for her to make the connection. ]

Ah... your dog? Quite skilled as she is. I take it... you're a herder?

Well, it ain't my job, if that's what you're asking - more like a hobby! See, I just tend apples. Up until I came to Garden, anyhow. But Winona here, she's a working dog - I ain't gonna let her get lazy, nosiree.

An apple farmer then?

[ But there's a small smile as she considers Winona. Doesn't seem like the dangerous sort of dog. ]

Quite admirable, if I may say, the dedication both you have.

You bet! Been the family trade for generations!

Well, thank you kindly. I'm Applejack - come from just outside o'Timber. If you ever heard of Sweetapple Acres, that's where I came from!

[ Ah, family pride. Wonderful thing that it was. ]

A pleasure to meet you, Applejack. I am Princess Lalianna Adjia Ananda. Not a local, I'm afraid... but I believe to have come across the name Sweetapple Acres several times.

Well, it's sure good to meet you too, Princess! []

[ And she's assuming AJ's calling her by her title. Oh man, this is glorious. ]

I'm sure, dear. Have you been here long?
