She would probably sweep the area, but as there was so little room back here, it wouldn't have made sense to check.  'Hm... captain...' he thought to himself as he heard her call out to him, though she didn't know where he was.<br/><br/>Cutting the head off the snake was a classic move, and if he subdued the captain, the rest of the crew might be clueless.
