Old Zef watches the interplay between Barrington and Katerina through hooded eyes, not missing a nuance. He shakes his head several times. As Katerina gets up to leave so too does the old dwarf.
"Jimmy boy. I don't know what got your nose out of joint. But I followed this woman's father fer 30 years and her for a few more after that. I don't know you from any other swab. So unless you gots proof of any thing you just said, your words are worthless. Actions my boy, action speak. What actions do you have ey? I would not trade away shares on the back end for up front money, bad business. And I don't know what tubs you been sailin' on but Kat here did ask us before she went outside what we wanted and she seems to have negotiated what we all agreed to here. So she stood by her word, and she has always dealt square and straight with crew. So I am following her. I would advise you to do so too if you want to find that ship.
But let this old salt leave you with two bit o' advice. Think twice before speaking once, and pride goes before a fall. Hubris my lad. It may yet be your downfall. I have been sailing since before your grandfather's father was born. I have seen more men destroyed by greed, scurvy and pride. It ain't worth it. You came in here attacking Kat and gave no proof nor cause. And why I asks? What you want boy? You want to find that ship? Follow her. You want to go your own way, go ahead. We all met to get the same thing, no we can have a differ' opinions on how to a get there. But you accused her o' saying things, calling you a liar in anger. Is that any better than you calling her a liar with out it? Or at least not showing it?
I know Kat, I trust Kat. I also would prefer to follow someone who ain't a going to give away 10,000 doubloons to get 1,500 up front. Am I right Badoiun? You seem like a decent enough fellow, even if your priorities is a bit screwed up. But I am following Kat. Swallow the damnable pride of youth and join."
Olf Zef then continues to limp out into the common room.
