It wasn't so much that he was rough around the edges - that had the opposite effect, but he had an edge of ruthlessness to him. He seemed like the sort of man you might come to trust, but Thalia didn't know him and prior run-ins with trouble had set her on her guard. As a core-world woman, sometimes you got some odd reactions from people out here, including browncoats. It may have been unnecessary, but it was why she stuck with her crew. She knew them, and a certain beheading aside, she trusted them.<br/><br/>That wasn't to say there wasn't truth in what Chester was saying, of course. He seemed to know what he was talking about.<em>Blood before the dawn.</em>Ironic, that those words hardly disturbed her as they might've done. Her hand tightened slightly on Santiago's arm, but the look she gave him was more cautious than worried.<br/><br/>Thalia took a sip of drink, inclining her head in farewell to Chester as he stepped away, then listening in to what Santiago and Babs would do. So Babs was a pickpocket - or at least, she could pickpocket? And what would Thalia do? She was still figuring that out. Look, listen and try not to get hurt? A distraction sounded like an intriguing notion, and she was going to ask when she received a fresh glass of wine from Santiago. "What kind of distraction are you planning? Want me to slap you across the face?" she asked with a slightly evil smile, certain it would draw some looks.<br/>
