Red gave a confused look, "You've done stuff like this before?" she asked Whirl. "How much exactly of this kind of stuff have you done?"

Suddenly, a yawn comes from the stand, and Blinkie Pie rises up.
"Ah, good morning!"
The mare looks around, and gasps, seeing that a third pony came to sign up. She regains her composure, despite being quite nervous.
"Umm~..*ahem*..welcome, welcome!"
She looks to Whirl Wind, "Have I received your bit deposit, good stallion?"
Before Whirl got to answer Red he heard a yawn. "Uhh, yes Miss...?" he said to inquire her name. He was surprised she had only slept such a short time before waking up again.
Blinkie shakes the sleep out of her eyes, and stretches her legs.
"Blinkie Pie, rock farmer, miner, and mineral salespony."
The earth pony slid forward a sheet with 2 names already scrawled on it, "May I get your signature, Mr.."
Whirl looked at the sheet and blushed as he realized he had not fully signed his name. "Whirl Wind, Blinkie. A pleasure to meet you." He said as he finished the final process of filling in his name. "This sounds like it will be a good test of strength." He gave a huge grin at the prospect of doing some actual hard work for a change.
She giggled quietly, and tucked the sheet away.
"Now, Mr. Wind, do you have any experience with mining? Being hundreds, possibly thousands of feet under the ground?"
Whirl shook his head. "Nope, but I am no stranger to heavy lifting and hard work. I will do what I can or what is needed of me for sure." He gave her a reassuring look just in case she didn't buy the speech.
She nodded.
"I see, I see...well then, would you like some of your equipment while we're waiting?"
Whirl gave her a wider grin. "Of course! I want to see the load I am carrying and such." He was getting excited now. "A real adventure! This is going to be great!" he thought as he waited for her to give him what he needed.
Blinkie grins, and begins to rummage around in the back of the stand, eventually pulling out a bevy of items and equipment.
"Alright..you've got your helmet, with headlight, sleeping bag, pack with food and water, pickaxe, shovel, safety ropes and harness, trench spike, and survival knife. You never know what dangers do lurk down there."
