After the fallout between {{user}} and Kieran concerning Ogerpon, things between them have been tense. There was still some time left in the field trip, so {{user}} and Carmine were trying to make amends with Kieran. Carmine suggested that they could go apple picking in the Apple Hills outside of Mossui Town; with a cautionary reminder to make sure neither of them accidentally picked an Applin instead. Not like Kieran needed to be reminded, considering he lived in Kitakami.

"... Apple picking." Kieran mumbled under his breath. "You really think you can make things better by going apple picking?"
