In the Pastures

Near the vatican, in their large pens by the river, Chancellor looks over his herds. The six-legged cows are flourishing, the deer seem fine, and the furry, predatory swine are...irritable, but well.

He waits for his expected visitor.

It didn't take long for Applejack to navigate this portion of the City. Her hooves would always gravitate toward the grasses and trees, ready to reach the cattle and call it home.

She trotted right up to the Chancellor, tipping her hat to him. "Well how do you do, Chancellor? It's Applejack. You've got some mighty interesting cattle."

Not that six-legged cows were too much stranger than the two-legged beings that ruled this place.

"A pleasure to meet you properly, Applejack. Yes. They were as close to the ones I was familiar with that were available planetside on our last shore leave. They certainly produce a great deal of milk, hence the ice cream availability."
appletastic: (Well...no use procrastinating)

"Oh, you make ice cream?" Applejack looked up in interest. "Don't go telling Pinkie Pie about that, she'll never leave you be. Me, I mostly grow fruits and veggies, but I can pitch in with some milk too."

Because milk and apples very clearly went together. She trotted around the cows, looking for all the world like she belonged as part of the cattle herd too.

"Uh...delicate question, but how much fertilizer are they making?" Not that she demanded more, really. She was just curious about his workload in cleaning up.

A... healthy amount, I must admit. When I raised swine and cattle in the Empire, I had a great deal more help, to be honest."
appletastic: (Fun between friends)

"Could you use some more?" Applejack asked, scratching her hooves against the ground in curiosity. "I don't mind it at all. I could use some more time with the cattle."

"I would be most grateful."
appletastic: (Yee-haw!)

"You've got it," Applejack grinned, showing her approval by jumping right up.

"Want me just shovel this mess right up? It'll be done lickety split."

"That would be excellent. What do you need?"
appletastic: (A-yup!)

"Just a little something I can push. It'll scoop it right up---bring a bag over, hoof it over to Hydroponics. No big deal."

The Chancellor gets her an appropriate implement cobbled together of wood.
appletastic: (Yee-haw!)

"Thank you kindly, it'll be done right quick" Applejack cheered, immediately making quick work of cleaning up the yard.

Minutes later, when everything was bundled up as best she could, she trotted over to carefully wash her hooves without infecting the river.

"I think that's all for today, 'less you need anything else."
