The words come out quite harsh, a bit of anger shining through.Antonie gulps down the rest of his gin, giving him a little time for his next words. They seem to be more carefully picked, even though the agitation hasn't left his voice."Listen, I don't pretend to know what it's like in the arctic, but I do know one thing: once things get rough, it's not Knowledge or Skills that keeps you alive - It's strength of character. I told you that I haven't been around much, but I've seen and done enough to experience that. Yes, Roxie is persistant - stubborn even, maybe - but that's precisely why I am confident that she'll do more than fine on this expedition. She has quite a few tricks up her sleeve, and she'll probably surprise you more than once.  Don't write her off before you've seen her. Okay...?"After he's finished, Antonie stands up from his chair, allowing Rayburn some time to mull his words over. He hold up his empty glass to Rayburn. A smile comes to his lips, he seems to be at ease again."I'm having another one of these. Can I get you something too?"</blockquote>
