The man looks up at Mika, brow furled.  "That's interesting," he said.  "I know the Marines are recruiting, but I'd never heard of the Islands calling for heroes.  At least, not until yesterday."  Then he looked out over the land.  "At least, hopefully not every island."<br/><br/>Then he turned to the group.  "My name is Tobin," he said.  "Formerly Lieutenant Tobin Caelish.  I received a commission for the recent wars, following in a family tradition, but I was injured very quickly.  So I took up the shipping company and let my brother try his luck at it."  He winced again, trying to massage his leg.  "Hope he has better luck than I did."
