I've heard of your grandfather, although I can't say that I've heard of his son...Still, you have a more than useful trade and one that could profit you in this situation."<br/><br/>He looked at the deck planks above before continuing, "Several have come to me seeking advice on what to do... I'm not that much more knowledgable than anyone else, but I know that like me, they don't care for being in the conditions we find ourselves... how do you stand?" <br/><br/>The half-elf figured that putting it out plainly might benefit him with an honest response, or could get him whipped... but no one wanted to be in this particular job for so long and he needed to know who he might trust. "I don't have anything against a pirates life... just being forced into it." He grinned then, "and, of course,being stuck in the bilges for more than a few minutes... I have more than a little respect for anyone who has had to do it for 2 days straight."<br/><br/>He returned to pumping; wanting to get the job overwith in the hopes that he might take a closer look at the area.
