Silverwind winced and rubbed the back of his head with one hoof as the green pegasus mentioned his 'appearance' in EQD. 
"Yeahhhh," he said with a chuckle. "Probably not the claim to fame I'd choose, but one I got all the same," he said with a grin. "But it's nice to meet you, Vince," he said as he listened to him explain Ponyville and describe his time here, nodding enthusiastically. His grin turned more sly as he heard his new companion mention Rainbow Dash and his thoughts about the mare, and he chuckled softly and gave an agreeable nod. "She's definitely impressive" he replied. "I've seen her a few times around and about, and she's certainly a lovely mare. Really skillful too. I heard she made it into the Wonderbolts reserves." 
As Vince commented on Silver's upcoming trip to the Everfree, he followed his look toward the forest, just visible in the near horizon and nodded firmly, but with a shift of expression. 
"There's no doubt it's a dangerous place," he replied after a moment, shifting from side to side. "But that's why I - and the cartography corps - have to map it out; finding safe passages through for ponies and other creatures is good, and so is being aware of where the dangerous creatures or terrain are, as much as we can be. I'm sure it won't be too bad - I'll be flying overhead mostly, and following routes on an older map to update them". 
He looked back toward Vince, and he gestured around at hte town. "So, Vince, what do you do around Ponyville? You seem to know about the town and the forest quite well. Though, you say you've never had a reason to go there so far".
