I shrugged and pressed myself against the captain as some of the others left.<br/><br/>As he talked to miss Levi, the new girl, a passenger or something I watched carefully.  I was focused not so much on the words as on the tone of voice and the interactions.  I was surprised to hear the captain offer her part of the crew but then miss Levi did seem to be tough and capable as well as pretty.
