Vincent stared at Lilly with a look of annoyance and exacerbation. He could hardly believe that a young filly, barely a mare was in command of these sailors. He knew someone was playing him for a fool. “Well ain't that just the cutest thing. Listen, lil'missy.” Vincent condescendingly scolded, “I appreciate the humor, but this is serious business. Now where is the real captain?” Now looking around, he could see on the faces of the Wandering Wind crew that none were laughing, on the contrary, they were quite serious if not a little insulted. He looked back to Lilly, sizing her up from her withers to her tail. “I've seen stranger things. Alright, Captain. Listen up,” Calling out, “I am Captain Vincent of his here vessel,” Motioning to the ship hoovering above them, “The Ibis. As you may have guessed this, we're freelance procures of pilfered goods and being that, we're here to acquire some of your vessels stores, namely the consumable variety. And since you were bold enough to traverse a trade route during a time of war, I'm also demanding your holds manifest so we may take some spoils for our effort. Don't tell me, captain, that you were risking such a quick, albeit, open and vulnerable route for nothing? Pretty bold for an unescorted merchant. Do this and you can be on your way to fix your backside.” Once more falsely accusing the Wandering Wind. “Failure to abide by these terms, I'll have to resort to my unsavory negotiation tactics.” Pointing to the female griffon, “That hen up there is my second-mate, Nahla and that stick like thing in her talons is what's called a wheellock rifle, something new cooked up by our 'friends' at Royal Rocks. And Nahla has been itching to try it out against a more challenging target than paper – and I believe that ballista my striped colleague up there has needs no introduction.”
With his demands and threats made clear, Vincent closed the gap between himself and Lilly, his considerably larger frame looming over her. He appeared like a fox in a hen-house buffet, with hungry eyes and beak. “Do you accept these terms?”

Lilly smirked. "Ha, you are pretty talented pirates" she said with out breaking eye contact with captain Vincent. "Yeah, we can do that" she said taking her front hoof to her hat and covering her eyes with it "And just to mention it, I have a pretty good reason to do everything I'm doing. Nothing worth knowing though" she said, thinking in Ondinea and her promise. "So, Captain Vincent, want me and my crew to take our provisions to deck or you want to take them by yourself?" she asked with her hat still on her eyes. Then she turned her sight to the masts, and realized Starflight had forgotten to raise their flags. "Ha, merchants" he thought.
Her crew just stayed stood, a bit confused by the fact of Lilly agreeing so easily to give away the food, the thing she most loved in the world.

"Oh, by all means, please go right ahead and bring it up." Vincent replied, though a spark of apprehension in his voice suggested suspicion. Hadn't expect the ship to not even attempt to bargain, tit-for-tat or something. Certainly this wasn't a typical job, but there wasn't really ever a 'typical' job for the crew of the Ibis. "And thanks for the compliment, we do try our best. Tragic with the war and all, our prizes have been getting scarcer and scarcer. Normally our lot fair better in times of political strife, but that's the way the currents are blowing this time through."
Captain Vincent begun to pace about on the deck, his crew following, keeping a rightful eye on the Wandering Wind's crew, while Vincent was admiring the vessel. "If it weren't for the fact we tore out your vessel's butt, I'd may have claimed this one for myself. Always could use another ship - what are her engines. That was some mighty odd maneuvers you pulled." Nodding, as he inspected the rigging. "By the way, afraid I never caught your name, Captain...?"

"Lilly" she answered "Captain Lillova" she said as she turned her hat back to where it was supposed to be. "Guys, bring all the food we have, we can still eat grass anyway" she told her crew "Roger" they answered getting inside the ship and starting to bring some barrels to the deck. "And about the engines, you should get a unicorn. You just need lots of ballast, the unicorn can neutralize or power it, depending on what you want, and ta-da" she explained, using the method that was used in her parents ship. Her crew finished bringing their goods to desk. "Anything else?" she asked, not watching the time to go and cross the mountain.

"A unicorn, we're a crew mostly comprised of griffons. No, that's just fine, I'll forgo the magic sickness for reliable and less vomit inducing technology." Retorted Vincent, "And might I say, you're awfully comfortable with us on board, all things considered. Can't recall the last time I didn't have to fight my way through some swabs to get some spoils. It's almost like-" Vincent turned, confronting Captain Lilly. "You're not planning some foolery, are ya? 'Cause if so, might we get on with it now - I'm really quite hungry and don't want to miss my vittles for the evening."
As Vincent confronted her, the diamond dog, Boomer begun inspecting the barrels, using his sabre to attempt to pry them open. "Boomer, what's the word on the stores? Edible or not?" Vincent called over, still watching Lilly. "Checking now, captain." He said between whacks, "Just a moment." "Excellent. Now, Captain, if everything is on the level, might I see your cargo manifest?"
