<strong>-- Explorator Thraxius --</strong>(http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=103946.msg4515299#msg4515299)<br/><hr/><br/>Thraxius stiffened noticeably as Arkhah was placed at his side, a single narrow eye swiveling the Kroot's way as if hoping the xeno would spontaneously combust under the sheer intensity of it.  Seeing that the alien was apparently impervious to a concentrated dose of passive aggressiveness, the explorator grabbed the nearest sharp utensil and held it at the ready; it would not be an exaggeration to say that it looked as if the man was eagerly awaiting an excuse to put the steak knife to good use on something other than food.<br/><br/>His primary eye focused on Baromir for a moment, and the lower half shuttered in something vaguely resembling amicability.<em>"Most esteemed Seneschal Baromir,"</em>he wheezed, leaning forward but keeping a<em>close</em>eye on the Kroot,<em>"I'm glad to see that you've returned from that little sideshow debacle of yours unscathed.  I've been meaning to speak with you concerning a potential <strong>problem</strong> aboard the Aquairre.  Later.  Privately."</em>
