    (quick note, try to make applejack talk about how she likes a quiet life and that she’s worried about anon or something, show a contrast between how anon handles things and how applejack does also try to add a moment of high emotion or something where anon admits the timberwolf incident instead of this dogwater slow explanation ur doing and then maybe try to get applejack to help him either get out of shining armours task. Also try to make him really emotional about only going to war because he wants to live the life applejack wants with her but feels like he can’t if he doesnt)
