Description:
Emerald sits where he is and watches how the Captain recruits people, but alas, Ale walks off to talk to some of the sailors, and from where Emerald is he can’t hear anything.
“Oh, there you two are.” Joyride says, walking up the stairs to the upper deck, “Hey, you got something on your head there, Ruby.”
Ruby rubs her head and says, “It’s just a scratch.”
Joyride rolls her eyes and says, “You are lucky it was only a scratch. Come here for a sec.”
Ruby walks over to Joyride, and she reaches up and pulls the bandage away quickly. Ruby gives a angry protest at this, but Joyride tells her to hold still, and she lowers her horn to the wound. It heals almost instantly.
“Whoa…” Ruby says, rubbing her head again.
“Yeah, lucky it was you that got hurt. Not sure I could have done it for this guy.” Joyride says, pointing lackadaisily at Emerald.
Emerald gulps. He never thought of that. Maybe his magical immunity prevents him from getting magical healing?
Joyride drags the pair back towards the kitchen, where it seems the cook is preparing a meal for their victory, and after an hour or two pirates start filtering into the kitchen, happy about how the battle went, and commenting how pathetic the sailors looked as they watched them float away on their neutered ship. Drinks are passed around, and a happy mood starts to flow through the crowd.
“Okay, pipe down you all.” The Captain says, pushing a pony Emerald hasn’t seen before forward, “We got a new member to the Gypsy Wind. Let’s all greet… Uh…”
“Q-quicksilver.” The apprehensive looking earth pony says in a rather swishy voice. His name matches his looks. His mane is a silvery color with a much lighter mane. Though he is probably well over twice Emerald’s age, he is still likely the youngest in the crew.
The whole kitchen erupts in cheers. Emerald starts to hear music, and turns to see one of the pirates with a guitar. It sounds nice.
