And I'll be sure to take care of Ms. Roxie, though I think you'll find that she can fend for herself quite well. Excuse me for a moment..."Relieved by Mr. Moore response, Antonie turns his attention away from Mr. him to take in the tableau of the commotion around Roxie. Damn, I had hoped she wouldn't be this bad, but I guess the slick one had it coming. He should've known better...Antonie grabs in his jacket and pulls out a box of Marlboro's. He skillfully pops it on the palm of his hand to knock out of the carton one cigerette, which he offers for Roxie to take. After she's taken it, he slides the box back into his jacket pocket.Next, his hand reaches down, fishing a lighter and some Camels from his pocket. He gives the box of Camels a quick shake and brings it to his mouth while his other hand lights Roxie's cigarette. His lips grab the cigarette now sticking out of the carton, and he lights this one too.He then offers the box of Camels around, mostly as a token of reconciliation.Well, let's hope we've got this settled -- for now, at least. Starkweather does really need the Rockefeller money, but I'm not sure he wouldn't find some way to cause trouble if this is what the expedition is going to be like. This Moore chap seems to be sensible enough though, and it seems like he's the one in charge. That's good, let's see if he can keep Starkweather in line, and I'll see if I can keep Ms. Roxie from stepping on too many... ehm... ego's. Antonie silently smiles to himself at that, amused by Roxie's behaviour, even with what hangs in the balance.</blockquote>
