A pirate? Of course, they can be superheroes! Who do you think rescues the fair princesses beset by the evil one-eyed pirates? I have a friend with a sailing ship, and I'm sure he'd enjoy a visit from a young pirate. Polly and I were there just a week ago, in fact.
Of course, he is! I think so, too! And you did good! Girls do indeed like shiny things, and you should remember that for the future. It will help out enormously. Any time a girl might think you've done something wrong, give her something shiny. It will work wonders.
Polly might need some help riding him. She's not used to doing things like that. Except on brooms, but mine is charmed to keep her from falling. And I think Polly would love to play with you. Only she does like to say 'No' a lot. She says it for everything so sometimes it's hard to decide if she means it for no or something else.
