Emerald practices moving the rock. He gets it to slowly spin around, and after a few more minutes it moves back and forth, and then up and down. He sees how high he can make it go, but then loses control after it gets about ten feet for cover and he scrambles away from the rock, not wanting to hurt himself.
 
He goes to pick up the fallen rock, and seeing Ruby still watching him sees if he can see what she is thinking.

She seems to be generally interested in him trying to do magic. Emerald asks if maybe she wants to learn a little bit.
 
“Well, gotta teach me how to read first, don’t ya?” Ruby says with a grin, “I’m in no rush really. Magic looks cool and all but it looks like a lot of effort to be honest.”
 
Emerald shrugs, and then sees Joyride is still looking out at the water. He asks her what she is thinking.
 
After a second she says, “Thinkin’ about that dang antler from a white deer that I need for my potion. Hmm…”
 
Emerald asks if he can help in any way.
 
“Possibly. You don’t need to worry about it yet though. Just work on your magic. Should I remind you we are going to a place with giant killer wasps and are going to steal their honey? Might be a good idea to get good at casting magic missiles.”
 
Emerald smiles sheepishly, and then asks what the purpose of the sailor’s trip is.
 
“To deliver trade goods… And to procure more if the opportunity presents itself.” Is all Joyride says.
