<div class="floatleft">(http://i.imgur.com/7HI4r.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Phil<br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>Scoundrel<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Ground Mule en route to town<br/><strong>Time:</strong>9/3/2505, Early Afternoon<br/><strong>With:</strong>Keri, Lance<br/><br/>Phil was a little disappointed when Keri made it clear that he wasn't going to be using her to mess with Lance, but he figured she would have cottoned to his little scheme at some point; better she did it earlier rather than late, considering that making Keri mad would deprive Phil of someone he could converse with without having to worry. The only other person he could say that about was Serenity, and he didn't visit her as often as he did Keri, considering that he wanted to play nice with Braxton, and he didn't want to trip anyone's suspicious regarding his lessons with Elfi. He kept his emotions to himself, and offered a puppy dog face instead to Keri.<br/><br/>Then Lance spoke up. "Just leave me behind once we're done loading everything onto the mule," he said, letting his arm return to rest at his side. "I mean, I've got to do something to earn my keep, right?" Phil said, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice. He knew one of Lance's biggest beefs with him was that the engineer didn't think that Phil did anything useful for the ship, but strangely he didn't seem to care as much about Girias, despite Phil filling a similar role with more subtlety and less firepower.
