Emerald says that it's more about a matter of trust, and that she should tell him when they are going to be doing something like this. He says that he has trust problems as it is considering everything he has been through, and that he doesn't want Joyride to be lumped along with them.

"Alright, fine, jeez. I'm sorry. I'll be honest about taking you onto pirate vessels and whatever else. You know sometimes I'm doing you a favor by not telling you the whole truth right? I shield you from the dangers of some of the things we do. I don't want to freak you out ya know?" Joyride says, giving Emerald a poke.

Emerald mentions that she is doing an odd job of it then, since they could all die in the pirate attack.

"Yeah, and we may have died on the walk between Whitherwater and the Zebra Lands. You know there are a ton of bandits and monsters on the way right, and part of it is even infested with undead. Heck, we could have run into a military patrol. At least out here all we have to worry about is an attack we are taking on our terms, and one that we will hopefully not even have to fight."

Emerald asks why she thinks attacking a military vessel will be a good idea.

"Because they've got a secret weapon. Me!" Joyride says proudly.

Emerald doesn't seem convinced, and Joyride rolls her eyes and says, "Look, it'll be fine. Probably. Just stop worrying about it. If things really go south you and Ruby should be fine. I doubt they'd hang kids."
