Salty smiles, showing off a few rotting teeth...most of them missing. "Well, thank ya kindly, whippersnapper. Now then, Goldie, what brings ya and these other folks around these parts?"

Goldenheart nods. "Right, well, we need a ship."

Salty walks over to his table and pours himself a glass of mead out of a dusty bottle. "That all? Well, I must say, Goldie, you sure know how to make a simple request."

Goldenheart blushes. Hawkwing looks at the walls, seeing old pictures of Salty's family. One of them shows a family picture of four. Two children and a father and mother...One of the children is pure white with scarlet eyes. Dazzling Light rushes forward and blocks Hawkwing's view. Salty looks over at the commotion and Goldenheart clears her throat. "Well...I, uh..."

Salty wheezes...that could be a laugh. "Well, I'll be darned. For most ponies that come round asking for charity I would have shown them the door. But for you, well, when you came and saw me a few months ago. That touched my heart. Not many ponies remember that I exist any more. For your kindness, sure, I'll give you a boat."

GH: "It was nothing, I was just looking through the "Sky" family tree and I saw your name crossed out."

Salty nods. "Yeah, my brothers and sister weren't too kind to me. I was a reject, after all..."

He gestures to his back...He has no wings. "What kind of "Sky" doesn't have wings? I was the first in our line for generations to not have them. I hear that Sapphire Sky suffered a similiar fate for being born a unicorn. Not her fault, to be completely honest...Just how it is."

Goldenheart nods. "Right...So about the boat."

Salty: "Aw, shoot. Go right and and take 'er. I don't go sailing much no more due to my eyesight. I'm sure old Ann Marey will be willing to take you folks on a cruise."

Goldenheart beams. "Perfect. Thank you so much."

Despite the fact that Salty is covered in soot and doesn't smell very good, she rushes forward and hugs him. Salty is quite surprised by this. "Well, I'll be damned..."

Goldenheart breaks away from the embrace. "You have no idea how much this means to us."

Salty just chuckles wheezily. "Well, you go on now. Treat Ann Marey well or I may have to come and hunt you down. Took me three years to build that ship."

Goldenheart nods. "You've got it."

She turns to her friends. "Well, let's be off then, eh?"
