That's what it's called when it's on a boat, for some reason. The other 10% of that prediction is bad memories of his first visit to Palace City, which was completely devoid of anywhere to buy so much as a handful of berries and he had a choice of eating hedge clippings or digging up radishes on the outskirts of town.

Just you and me against whatever the ship throws at us, Gideon! He's not even going to question that she's joined the party.
