Let's visit Aqua Skies and Marine Wave! If only to say hi and catch up on the latest news.

With the day still young, you decide to start your afternoon by visiting Aqua Skies and Marine Wave, the gracious hosts who accommodated you and your friends prior to your departure from Equestria.

Apple Basket: "While you two do that, I'll go an' hoof this sea dog catalogue over to my uncle, and tell him 'bout the harpies, too. When y'all are done, how about we meet up at the terrace yonder for some lunch?"

You agree, and as the colt temporarily splits from the party to make his way to the Trading Post headquarters, you begin to follow the road south to the southern district.

Soon after knocking on Aqua Skies and Marine Wave's door, it opens to reveal a familiar lively unicorn. Her pegasus housemate appears not a moment later, and joins her side to greet you.

Marine Wave: "Trailblazer, Moonflower! Did you just get back from your trip? Welcome back!"

Aqua Skies: "Well, don't just stand there cooking in the sun. Come in!"

You comply, and enter the house's welcoming foyer.

Marine Wave: "Can I get you anything?"

You thank Marine Wave, but politely decline, not wanting to spoil your lunch. You tell her that you came by to say hello, and to ask about the latest news.

Marine Wave: "When were you last here again? Oh, it's been almost two weeks!"

Aqua Skies: "A lot has happened, but something tells me you're not interested in hearing about the cotton candy shipment that fell off the docks, or the yak who joined a drinking contest at the tavern."

Moonflower: "Heehee!"

Marine Wave: "We did see your friend Furia Storm sticking around town for a day or two after you left, then she boarded a royal airship from Canterlot with another mare."

Aqua Skies: "The way that other mare looked, she must've been some sort of pop star. I can't say I've ever heard of her before, though. Maybe she's from another kingdom?"

Marine Wave: "I wonder! Definitely a pony of influence, in any case. I was just glad to see poor Furia doing better. Aside from that, what else was there?"

Aqua Skies: "I suppose the Trading Post's End of Summer sale is worth mentioning. It's the last week of the season, so as always, the Trading Post is offering discounts on seasonal items."

Marine Wave: "I can't believe summer is almost over already! Although, it will be nice to get a break from all this heat. What about you two? Did you have fun on your trip?"

You nod, and tell Marine Wave that while it wasn't easy, you did find what you were looking for, and made good friends along the way.

Moonflower: "Yuh uh! We even helped beatin' up a villain and everythin'!"

Aqua Skies: "That's right — you two are adventurers, aren't you? Well, when you become famous, don't forget about the humble mare who served you the best curry in Equestria."

Aqua Skies bumps Marine Wave's rump with her own teasingly, and you all share a good chuckle. However, at the mention of food, you do begin to feel hungry.
