Mel eyes the man and his case with a tiny little furrow in her brow that conveyed the slight tingle of suspicion she felt...but really, tingles of suspicion were just signs of a healthy mind out in the hard vacuum. Didn't mean much. She just vaguely wondered if the deal was so safe and regular, why'd he come charging at them with a briefcase, instead of giving them a leisurely call, and arranging a meeting? It's not like they were on a strict timetable.
It wasn't anything specific...Kobiyashi or whatever might just be a disorganized person. He forgot to call until they were already about to depart, then freaked out and came running rather than calling. But then...why -them-? Because of a rumor they were going to the central colonies? Because they -might- swing by Lucky Star?
The furrow deepend to a frown; the tingle to a full blown case.
There was nothing she could point at and yell, 'Ah HAH! Got you!' But it just seemed weird.
