"Huh?" Darrus replied, head poking out of the branches of one of the Apple trees near Applejack after she called his name. He looked around, finding some odd... what was that, a pony carrying a big basket? Well, it was in the sky some ways away from them. Huh. That ain't normal. Not from what he knew from his work around these parts. At her request for him to go scout out the situation, Darrus nodded and replied with, "yup, sure thing!" just before he jumped off of the branch he'd been balancing on and corkscrew into a glide sending him over to just above the mare, him then hovering for a few moments. "You know, I could carry you there if you'd like~?" The rusty red Pegasus offered, him then assuming his flirty jest would be brushed off as he laughed a little then sped off too investigate the scene.
Arriving not long after and quickly making his way up to the pegasus and the basket she was carrying, him taking in the scene quickly before diving down and Lansing heavily on one of the larger branches of the trees the basket was by causing a few loose apple's to be shaken off the branch and sent tumbling to the ground below, this being done with the intention of surprising and maybe startling the two ponies.
Why?
Eh.
Whether or not he was successful, Darrus would go on to greet them with a simple, "Hey, yall!" which was weirdly becoming a more common greeting for him to use these days... "What's with the basket? You two get incredibly lost and confused or something?" Taking a brief moment to piece together how they'd been hovering near the branches bearing delicious fruit, Darrus started to get the feeling that certain ponies were hoping to get a taste of certain red delicious, something he homslf had tried to do when he first saw the fruits. Hmm...
"Oh, wait, you two are visitors, huh?" He said, taking wing again as he flew closer to the basket and grabbed the edge with a hoof and started to fly slow circles to send the basket into a bit of a spin, "that means you need to be given the tour. Well, first let me begin by explaining that this farm was literally the first thing ever founded on the planet," he was just messing with them obviously, Darrus just keeping them there until AJ showed up, "All of Equestria, and indeed the rest of the world, grew around this place. In fact, the apple itself was the second fruit to ever be invented. Yes, they were invented, by Celestia and a cosmic being from space named Moredelicious who first arrived to assist her with the creation of the cherry. Apples came about when Celestia wished for cherries to be bigger and crunchier. Today apples are grown at fifty seven bits each..."
