"A couple of reasons." Torrential answered back, rolling his shoulders a little and readjusting his wing a little as that it was comfortably wrapped around Star Dancer. "For starters, I gave her my blessing because at her core Applejack is and always has been a farmer. Almost all of the Apple family have been and frankly I'm disappointed that I didn't get a chance to have a word with Granny Smith while I was in Appleloosa. Between her, Applejack and Big Mac Sweet Apple Acres was one of the greatest farms I've ever seen and easily the best apple farm to ever exist. One of my greatest regrets is that I will never get the chance to walk through Sweet Apple Acres during its prime. I do have plans to go there in pilgrimage to see what is left after the flood but after two decades abandoned and in ruin it just isn't the same."

"I also did it to remind of her of origins. Two decades away from the farm and dealing with the war had started to erode her relationship with the earth and I sort to remind her of it so she did not repeat the mistakes of the original Earthborn." Exactly what he meant by that, Torrential did not say. However, he did seem to tighten the wing around Star Dancer a little more as he asked "Out of interest, why did you want to seek me out in the first place? Oh, I know that Silver wanting me to get her letter might have had something to do with it, but as easily distracted as she might be, she wouldn't have sent just anyone to track me down."
