Head Hunter check off the last weapon he had to hide. He stood in what he was pretty sure was the throne room, though it was not specified, nor had he been in said room before. What he did know was that it was going to be the location of the wedding. Most of his weapons he hid in false walls and other similar devices, but his two rifles leaned up against the wall where he was meant to stand during the wedding.
Of course, he had a lot of weapons that have yet to be mentioned, so he is the full list: 1 Strange Hitman's Headmaker, 1 AWPer Hand, 2 Cleaner's Carbines, 1 Ludgermorph, 1 Strange Tribesman's Shiv, 1 Switch Blade, 2 'Shock Charges,' which had proven themselves useful enough for a restock, and his secret weapon. He had yet to actually test said weapon, but it received great praise from 'critics.'
That being out of the way, Head Hunter made sure the three weapons he kept on his body, the Ludgermorph, Switchblade, and 'Secret Weapon,' were properly concealed. He then started to walk out of the room to the kitchen, from which a lovely aroma seeped. He walked in just in time to see 'Cadenza' walked out. He respectfully stepped aside to give her room, but instead of thanking, greeting, or even acknowledging him, she merely walked by with a 'holier than thou' attitude. This bothered him slightly, though he knew not why.
Shrugging, he walked into the kitchen, and the first thing he noticed was that there was a bag of pastry goods in the trash.
"Are they really that bad?" He joked.
"Are what that bad,partner?" Replied Applejack, not even looking up from her cooking.
"Never mind. What are you making?" He took a few steps closer.
"Apple Muffins, Apple Cakes, Apple Pies... Well, basically anythin' with the word 'apple' in front ah it!" She smiled.
"Makes sense, I guess. Hey, what's up with the soon to be bride? I have never seen a women who's getting hitched, but I would assume that they aren't that..." He searched for the word.
Twilight suddenly spoke up. "Rude?"
Startled, Head Hunter almost jumped. "Uh, yes, I guess that works... I'm sorry, I didn't see you there, Twilight Sparkle."
"Please, Just Twilight. I noticed it too. Cadence use to be my babysitter. She was always happy and nice. Something really awful must have happened to her since then."
"Or mayba she's just worried. Mares do that a lot when they're gettin married n' all" Applejack seemed as if she didn't care at all.
"Or maybe it is something else... Something worse. Much worse." Head Hunter whispered, barely audible to himself, let alone those around him...
