"You got it! I can almost hear the clink of bits already..." Darrus joked, confidence, of course, still clear as day. For a moment he wondered where exactly he was going to be having his bed set up within the barn that he was evidently going to be growing quite familiar with in the coking days. It didn't matter to him the placement, of course, as being used to just grabbing any random cloud whenever he needed to sleep, having a roof and an actual mattress to stretch out under and over respectively meant that regardless of where it was set up he was probably going to be getting some better sleep over the next few nights.

At Applejack's request for him to "cool it" in a sense, the stallion raised his hooves up in a gesture to show that he understood. "I'll...try." he replied, not really trusting himself to make a full fledged promise to not flirt in the future. He knew himself pretty well, and he knew filtering his speech for those kinds of things would be difficult. "As for those chores, well, I am a rather adventurous stallion..." He said, nearly wagging his eyebrows before catching himself and attempting to, again, hide what he'd done, this time behind the act of pretending like he'd gotten something in his eye as he rubbed a hoof over his vision marbles. This was going to be even harder than he'd originally thought... "Uh, *ahem* I could probably handle one or two of those today. I could at the very least get started on something."

Following behind Applejack after she waved for him to do so, Darrus kept back a small chuckle. Gee, they just met and already she was taking him home to meet her family? They seemed to have skipped some steps and- WOW! This was actually going to be a LOT harder than he'd originally thought! Trying to focus on something else for a moment, Darrus thought about the upcoming cider season and the beverage that he'd wanted to try so badly that it had brought him here looking for work just to be able to afford it. Mmm... Cider...

Reaching a second barn... or no actually, it was a house now that he was getting a closer look. Huh. Well, if that's the style they wanna go with... Reaching the mares house, Darrus stepped inside and took up a spot next to AJ as she called out for and was then answered by a small filly whom, if the Pegasus' incredibly developed and accurate detective skills were anything to go by, was her little sister. Darrus gave a small wave and friendly smile as he was introduced to the filly, him picking up that her name was Applebloom and then blinking from her reaction to his cloak and subsequent departure. He gave a small chuckle once shed gone from sight, his smile growing a little at AJ's apology as he only shrugged in response, glancing over his cloak as she checked the kitchen to see of something may have triggered the reaction it had earned only to find it as the same old thing he wore everywhere.

Looking back up at the sound of the energetic filly's return, this time sporting a little cape of her own, he smiled again at her enthusiasm over the article of clothing. "Heh, definitely," he replied to her question with a nod, "a pony looks their best when they've got themselves a cool cape billowing epicly behind them in the wind. I like yours better than mine though, its a better color and less worn down. Really well made and kept in good condition it looks like. Also, you've got that awesome patch on there." He sat down, and exaggerated the act of crossing his front hooves over his chest and looked away in playful jealously. "Wish I had a patch like that. What's it mean?"
