Making his way up on deck in time to see the coming longboat and hear the captain's comments, Aethon just shrugs when he mentions sneaking ashore.  "With how I look now, there are going to be few places indeed where I'll be able to pass unnoticed without magic.  Still, I can at least make sure that everyone's too busy staring at the big silver not-quite-a-dragon to pay attention to the rest of you.  As for the Lyrandar men...Linda's probably right; they may not like us, but so long as they're paid, they'll at least tolerate us."<br/><br/>Looking back out over the harbor, he turns to the group before continuing.  "Speaking of which, do we know who we're supposed to be meeting here?  I suppose that all that would have needed to be done was give them our descriptions, but I'd at least like to know who we should be expecting to approach us."
