Howdy was restocking the apples as Wally has been in them again, as he didn't like Wally always coming up with ways to steal apples. Howdy continues to restock the apples, you decided to come visit/hang out with him, he turns his attention to you "Well lookie here, ain't it my little sibling, do you need anything from your big brother?" Howdy knew that his job as being the oldest sibling is making sure his younger sibling is safe and doesn't get into trouble
