Emerald just keeps eating his curry. He wants to see where this goes.
 
“So you don’t have any family or anyone who would miss you if you were gone?” Joyride asks Ruby directly.
 
“Nope. I don’t care two bits about the people I live with. Not that I hate them, but I won’t miss’em. And my parents… They are dead.” Ruby says, giving Joyride a look of defiance.
 
“Fair enough.” Joyride responds.
 
Emerald takes this opportunity to mention the earring that looks a lot like his pendant, and asks Joyride what she thinks about it.
 
“Hmm… that is a bit interesting actually…” Joyride says, looking at the filly’s ear, “Who did you say your parents were?”
 
“Oh um… I dunno…” Ruby says, looking down at her plate embarassed, “They were always just ‘mom’ and ‘dad’ to me…”
 
Emerald feels a pang for this. He never really knew what either his father or mother’s name was either, and he proceeds to also look down at his plate depressed.
 
“Well that’s no help.” Joyride says without tact, leaning back in her chair, “Anyway, say I was to let you come along… What would you give me in return?”
 
“It’s not like I have anything. Err, I got a few bits I fished out of the fountain today.” Ruby says.
 
“Well it doesn’t necessarily have to bits you know~!” Joyride says, leaning back forward, “Just ask lil’ perv here!”
 
Ruby looks to Emerald with a questioning and curious look.
