The Apple Orchard 11:57

"Phew, yer getting good at this" Applejack said, wiping her forehead and looking up at Celestias sun high in the sky above them.
"Almost time for lunch, how 'bout it?"

"I don't have any lunch with me." Silvermane huffed, giving a hard buck to a tree.

"Don't ya worry none, ahm sure granny wouldn't fuzz about having ya over." She said fanning herself with her hat, putting it back on top of her head, walking over to Silvermanes tree and helping him pick up some of the apples.

"But I haven't gotten my pay yet." He said, giving her a weird look like she had forgotten something as basic as breathing, while picking up some apples with his hoof.

"Uh no, ya haven't....why did ya bring that up?" She asked, tossing the apples into one of the buckets.

"Well, I don't have the money to buy lunch."

"Buy lunch? whoa wait just a minute here, ahm inviting ya to have lunch at mah house here." She pointed a hoof at her own chest.

"....so you take it from my pay then?" He cocked his head to the side.

"What?! no! ahm inviting ya Silvermane for a friendly lunch at mah home at Sweet Apple Acres, free of charge." She said, beggining to loose her patience at him not understanding

"Oh...... you are absolutely sure it is okay? cause I really hate to get in problem with the family of my boss." He said after a bit of thinking.

"Well that's very thoughtfull of ya, but ahm perfectly sure it is okay." She turned around, and waved at him to follow her back towards the farm house.

"So how exactly are your family?" He asked after a moment of walking silently after Applejack.

"Eh? what do ya mean?" She asked, stopped in her tracks, turning head head around, surprised by the question.

"Just...just, ah forget it." He begun, before shaking his head with a sigh and turning his head away from her.

"No please tell me, if there's something burdening ya it's only good to-" She begun before getting cut off from silvermane.

"I said forget it!" He snapped, making her jump a bit, before taking a deep breath and slumped his shoulders.
"It wasn't even important, let's just continue forward."

"Okay, ah will not force ya to say anything, but if ya ever want to talk ah can assure ya it stays between us two." She said walking over and putting a hoof on his shoulder, giving him a warm smile as she turned around and begun to walk again, leaving silvermane to sit there, blink and then smile a bit as he got up and followed her.
