Working in a nation of ponies wasn't all bad. As a migrant worker from the small kingdom of humanity, the Apples were kind enough to pay you a decent wage, and let you live in the hay loft of their barn. It wasn't the Waldorf Astoria, but you've made it into a cozy little homestead. Most of the money you earn is sent back to your wife and son, but after a visit from a certain prince, you realize there are other services you could render for a considerable sum.
Hooray 2nd person HIE!
