Rusty as anything!

[fearsomebrowmop]

So, wait...

How did I get here, again? You do know that takin' a pilot when he's pilotin' is a bit dangerous, right?

[He shook his head 'no' and leaned forward curiously. Eyes wide as he waited for an answer.]

[fearsomebrowmop]

What sort of a kid hasn't heard of a pilot?

We fly ships.

[breaks_pots]

[His eyes go as wide as plates.]

You fly boats?

[fearsomebrowmop]

Yeah. [He eyes Link's surprised expression]

Ain't that exciting.

[breaks_pots]

I've never seen a boat fly!

[Are you kidding? That's freaking amazing!]

How do you do it without wings? Is it a magic song?

[fearsomebrowmop]

[Okay, this kid was starting to freak him out a bit.]

Never seen a flyin' boat? Where've you been living? Underground on some moon somewhere?

[breaks_pots]

[Link frowned, recognizing the tone as one of mockery. It may have just been disbelief, but that's not how Link took it. He gave the man a cold look.]

Hyrule. Birds fly there. Not boats.

[fearsomebrowmop]

Never heard of Hyrule.

[breaks_pots]

Where are you from?

[fearsomebrowmop]

I'm from all over the place.

[breaks_pots]

[That didn't really answer the question.]

So what country has flying ships?

[fearsomebrowmop]

Country? All of them.

[breaks_pots]

[Link looked up at him expectantly. The only Country he knew of for sure was Hyrule.]

[fearsomebrowmop]

What? All the Alliance Planets have ships. It's how we get around.

[breaks_pots]

[This is going to be terrible and I am so sorry Wash]

...

What's a planet?

[fearsomebrowmop]

[Stare, Link. He's just staring at you.]

[breaks_pots]

[And he'll stare back, waiting for an answer.]

[fearsomebrowmop]

You're serious?

[breaks_pots]

[He nodded his head. Just the once. Still waiting.]

[fearsomebrowmop]

...You don't know what a planet is?

[breaks_pots]

[He shook his head 'no'. Hadn't they established this already?]

[fearsomebrowmop]

[Yeah, he's just kinda stunned here.]

How old are you?

[breaks_pots]

[Why do people ask him that? What was so relevant about his age? He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes.]

Tell me what a planet is and I'll tell you how old I am.

[fearsomebrowmop]

A planet is what people live on.

[Still stunned]

[breaks_pots]

[Nope. Not at all comprehending the idea. Sure, living in a house or on a mountain was one thing... but that people lived on one... it still didn't tell him what a planet was.]

But what's a planet?
