Instead he just replied with a "No sir." Was it him or did it get a bit more stuffy in the bar.<br/>He looked at Astrid as she remarked about Sha-li sat perched on his shoulder. "Thanks." he smiled "She can get a bit nippy with people she don' know. But give her a tián bǐnggān (trans. sweet biscuit) an she'll love you forever." Sha-li ruffled her feathers and let out a chirp of "bǐnggān" at the mention of a treat. "I hope the bird isn't an issue Captain" Sidney continued turning to Samson.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">"Ever work on a firefly?"</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Sidney couldn't help but notice Astrids apparent experience with fireflys, and wished he could say the same. "Unfortunately, no." he said in a slightly sombre tone. "But I've always wanted to, since One of the old fliers talked about owning one in my job where I learned to fly." he said brightening up. "I have some experience in ships with similar rotator thrust pods like your firefly."  He said explaining partly that at least he knew how to fly one. "An lookin' at her. Those others would be like flying a Gǒu de yīfú (rough trans. cart without wheels) compared to her." he said confidently.
