Pets & Horses Seaskipper And Pet Interaction

Right so, I've been using the seaskipper a lot recently to go between Maro and Selchar to mine cobalt and I had, what I would call, a good idea.

So for those who don't know (which I would be surprised if you didn't know unless you're new), the seaskipper has different 'interactions' which are randomly played on you're journey. There are some that give you items but all are great to read and is probably why a lot of people, including myself, would say that the Seaskipper Captain is one of the best characters, but I digress.

Anyway my idea would be to add a few more of these centred around the idea of the seaskipper captain playing with your pet if you have it out, like if you walk you're dog in the park and you see a friend and they always pat you're dog and call them a good boy or girl, right?

I haven't thought of any dialogue but I just think that this would be really nice to add, you could have a bunch of really creative lines too, especially if you have a unique pet, such as him saying he's had a bit too much nemract whiskey -hic- and he's seeing himself if you have the seaskipper 'pet', likewise you could have other funny ones for death, the eye, orange wybel etc. I thought that he could maybe throw a ball or something around the boat and your pet just jumps around and he could maybe even tell you that he had a pet. (I thought it would be funny if he had an orange wybel when he was younger that would continuously bite him until it ran off one night)

Sadly, a problem I do see with this is that there is a lot of pets in game and many people may have old ones (I myself, have a silverfish I mostly use called 'Cronk' after my hamster's nickname), which may mean that there would be a fair bit of work required for such a small thing, though you could just have a generic interaction for those and common wybels, etc.

If anyone wants to suggest any dialogue feel free to do so below (sorry I didn't give any myself, I just thought it would be best to leave it up to the CT if this would ever get added)
