Samuel would give Madadh a somewhat helpless look, shrugging at the question.  "I'm afraid we're still waiting to find that out!  The Captain claimed that a representative of the colony would be arriving shortly to take us to our lodging, and presumably to fill us in on the details.  I can't quite say I'm all too eager to<em>see</em>what we're up against, but a bit of forewarning would be nice."<br/><br/>He only gave Horatio the slightest of glances, shaking his head sadly the moment the man had left.  "Even in such a run-down place, it seems there is no shortage of people looking to take advantage of another man's desperation.  He doesn't seem all that dangerous, but perhaps we would all do best to keep an eye on Mister Hawkwood.  I know that<em>I</em>will not be tolerating thievery, certainly not against those who have already lost so much."<br/><br/>To the soft-spoken Tilyana he offered another charming grin, something that seemed to suit his face perfectly.  "A pleasure, my dear!  Now, I don't suppose that<em>you</em>have a steady hand with a blade?  Not that I doubt you don't have the brawn and skill to protect all of us yourself," he added, looking to Madadh, "But between me and Horatio I'm beginning to fear our chances should the colony come under assault again."
