Dialogue

• "Y'ever hear the tale of Peg-Leg Pete? Heh, I didn't think so -- he just goes by "Pete" nowadays."
  
• "If you want to hear a real rip-roarin' argument, ask the locals whether my Talent Mark is Medical or Artisan."
  
• "A few years back, I tried to start a side job that fixed broken chairs. Unfortunately, there wasn't much business aside from the occasional saloon brawl."
  
• "Any pony in this town can tell you that I don't allow violence under my hoof. I'd rather have two enemies talk things out instead of them doing somethin' stupid that gives me more customers."
  
• "Broken and missing limbs I can fix. But if you've got a busted horn or wing, well... I can try, but I ain't a miracle-worker."
  
• "I'm no veterinarian, but if you've got a pet that needs fixin' up, I'll do it free of charge."
  
• "Sure, I've had some weird customers before. Even got asked by some wealthy baron to make him a golden leg. I respectfully told him that perhaps he needed to get his head examined."
  
• "My stuff ain't foolproof, but I try to make it fool-resistant. Nothin' puts a burr under my saddle like craftsponies who don't care about their customers."
  
• "When I first got here, I had to scrounge everywhere for materials. One poor fella had to make do with a cactus-leg for a week until I could make somethin' better."
  
• "Watch your step out there, y'hear? Those rattler-holes will getcha if you're not paying attention."
