Red got a bit closer to the pair of ships and saw that one of them wasn't actually a ship, but a giant turtle with stuff on its back. This intrigued Red, since he's never actually seen one of these creatures, only heard stories about them. "Whoever rides it must be very lucky to have such a marvellous creature working for him." he thought to himself, and he did his best to speed his ship up to get closer to the giant turtle in order to see it, and it's master, a lot better. With any luck they'd trade with him, and if he was even luckier, he may be able to convince whoever was on it to let him ride it for a little while, just to see what it was like. After all, they could just say no to him and that'd be it, but he hoped against hope that his luck would hold, and that he'd get a tale he'd be able to boast about for years to come. Who knows, knowing someone who rides one could come in handy one day.
