Hinjo nods in response to Dogrynn's confirmation. But for a moment he is quiet.
"My worry is that he will hear of it. I would rather he doesn't know we are looking at him. Later, maybe, it might be useful to let him know, to draw him out against us. If we cannot get to him.
"But at this stage we don't know enough to make a decision. We are not even sure that he has our man.
"Hopefully Arcata is getting something useful. Although there doesn't seem to be much talking going on."
[sblock=ooc]Seems like the barman is hiding something, or someone. Does Hinjo notice this, and notice who or what they are looking at?

Arcata's look takes her to the far side of the tavern where there is an exit. There are a few booths near there, one seems to be occupied by a hooded bulky figure with a large axe leaning against the booth.
Arcata flicks her glance back and believes the bartender did not see.

Hinjo does a mental check of his layout of the tavern, and its patrons. The large fellow with the axe is over that way. He certainly seemed to have the build for a half-orc. For a moment Hinjo is tempted to put Dogrnn's talent for making trouble to good use. But he squashes the impulse. There is no real evidence that the character in the corner is connected to Scarface, and realistically, nothing to be gained by starting a fight. Except perhaps working off some of his frustration. Instead, Hinjo makes a mental note to be prepared for trouble from that direction.
[sblock=ooc]Voadam, Would you mind if I switch Hinjo's weapon from great sword to long-sword. The weapon hasn't been drawn in anger so far, iirc. I wanted a two handed weapon, but I just don't think the great sword fits. Its just a little too clunky. The long sword can be wielded with one hand or two, which is a much better fit.[/sblock]

Arcata thinks quickly. Was he cooperating willingly, or just scared? Maybe giving him some breathing room would be fruitful. It couldn't be any less productive than grilling him in front of this mysterious axeman.
"Actually, yes. I am a bit hungry. The haddock sounds excellent. I'll be at that table there."
She produces whatever coin he asks for from her purse, then goes to rejoin the others.
"He's not talking," she says quietly on sitting at the table. "He glanced at that large fellow by the door with the axe. Can't tell if he'd talk without the watcher, or just if something I said made him think of that guy. I ordered some food though...so we'll see what happens."

The red-haired and tired-looking serving girl Jinny comes over with a platter of haddock eventually. With her back turned to the bar man and her head down she makes eye contact with Arcata, flicks her eyes to Arcata's purse and says under her breath "I seen him." She then brings her head up and says in a more normal voice to all three"Any more rum or haddock?"
