He seems to be telling the truth.
 
Clover nods quickly; a splendid idea! She could definitely use the help.
 
“I see! Eager, are we?” Highwind smiles, motioning to the boat. “Now, run along to that long boat, the one by the shore. Oh, and for future reference… you didn’t hear any of our discussion earlier, got it, lil’ one? I’ll be with you in a minute; just have to finish our little chat. It’ll take us about a day to sail there, but we’ll talk about that later.”
 
Clover nods with a grin; finally, a turn of luck! The quicker she can get out of nowhere, the better. Maybe the city life is for her? After all, she has her whole life ahead of her.
 
Trotting through the sand, she hops up into the long boat, kicking her legs to get on. She finds it much more comfortable than the sand, and after a minute, Captain Highwind tosses her bag in after her.
 
“Forgetting something, Miss… actually, I never got your name.”
 
“Clover!”
 
“Ah! Lil’ Clover. Hopefully you’ll bring us some luck. Even with this head start, we’re gonna be short pressed for time.”
 
Highwind hops in nimbly, almost too quickly for an old stallion like himself, and with a spark of his horn, the paddles begin to churn in the water.
 
Clover asks about weapons, and if she could probably get something to help defend herself. It’s a scary world, after all.
 
“In due time, little one. Let’s get settled and on our way, first. Besides, you need to meet the crew in earnest.”
 
The boat lands and Clover climbs aboard, looking out to the see as the other longboats begin to ship off. New goods are claimed and the crew sets to work, but Clover gives one last gaze to home before the anchor is lifted.
 
Her heart heavy, she waves her hoof to her distant mother.
