Clover asks how the storm is coming along, and how he joined the pirates. She also thanks him for the nice compliment.
"Eh, it's a storm. Me and Silver were in the brunt of it for a while, but when it really started to pick up, we had to get the rest of the crew out in force to keep the ship from toppling over. Let's see… I think I joined about a year ago, after I quit my job at the Orphanage in Vanhoover. And you're very welcome."
She wants to know what Vanhoover is like.
"Oh, Vanhoover? Hell, half of the crew is from there, pretty much, bar a couple of the veterans. But Vanhoover is amazing. You have to see it for yourself. It's massive for a relatively new city; the clock tower on the hill, the yearly celebrations. You have to see it to believe it. It has this familiar smell to it… around fall, they're probably preparing for the annual Carnival of Ages. It's the best time to land in port as it is. Security will be busy and overworked checking in the new arrivals to pay attention to us. We have until the Carnival itself to depart, but from what Cap'n is saying, you wont be coming back with us. You'll be staying with Vee. You'll get to see the festival, lucky you." He frowns. Apparently he really likes the Carnival.
Seen anything interesting?
"Eh, nearly all of the Luna Ocean, but nothing past Equestria, really. This isn't a very old vessel itself. But I have been to the unexplored wilds to the south, talk about danger. Go there if you have a deathwish."
How'd you get that Cutie mark?
"This ol' thing? Believe it or not, I used to be a guide for colts and fillies alike. I put them on the right course, y'know, set them right. But those fuckwits down at the halfway house didn't like me, so I quit. I used to be a lot more optimistic until then. It means the start of a new day; or the beginning of a new journey."
He quit his job? Huh. Maybe it has to do with small fillies…
End of Chapter 2!
