Emerald thanks the captain for letting them on the ship, and then asks him what it’s like being a captain on the high seas.
 
“Wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world, child. To be honest, I’m more comfortable here on the water than on land.”
 
Emerald asks how he navigates the boat at night.
 
“Where is that thing…” He says, looking around his feet and then grabs at something on the floor and holds it up to Emerald, “It’s called a sextant. It’s difficult to explain, but I use the angle I get off of this and compare it to my astronomical charts in my cabin to get an idea of where we are.”
 
Emerald looks at the object, and holds it up to his eyes, trying to understand how it works, but the whole thing is a mystery to him. The colt hands the instrument back and asks the captain about what he thinks of the zebra war.
 
“It’s profitable, but unfortunate. Much like all wars.” The captain says not looking at Emerald, “I really have no stake in it either way. I’m not really a resident of either country anymore. The sea is my home.”
 
Emerald asks if he can steer the ship.
 
“Mmm, perhaps some other time, child. I’m quite enjoying myself at the moment.” The captain says, patting the wheel.
 
Emerald asks the Captain about his past, and about Bo.
 
“Well, that’s a rather broad subject. What did you want to know specifically?”
