cutie mark dialogue explanation

Stray brings his hoof back to the ground with a soft clop after Homily takes the harpoon gun, though seeing his eyes catch his flank, and his question, the cat was obviously out of the bag... Not that Stray had been trying to hide it or anything. "Well..." He sighs, his blue eyed gaze drifting behind him to the cutie mark. "I didn't think humans could even get 'em. But... the other day when we were flying, we got caught in a really bad storm. We were flyin' this aircraft with these flying fishes that drag the thing in the air. It got kinda deadly, and... I hopped out of the ship and went and guided the lead fish by the reigns through a break in the stormclouds and we managed to land safely." He inhales again, talking a lot more than he was used to at once. "And then, well, it just kinda appeared with a bright light." The orange stallion shrugs, bringing his gaze back to the fire's blue flame that matched the star of his mark. "Didn't exactly tell me anything I didn't know. Flying's just about the only thing I've ever been good at, even back on Earth. But... it's nice to know that's what my calling is in this world till' I find a way back home to my family on Earth."
