My men need all their energy, I don't settle for less," she says with a crooked grin. She taps her lips while looking him over critically to size him up but is obviously distracted. "Very well, I accept your challenge. I will make my decision and return momentarily."  She didn't want to appear weak in front of this man, if they were to work with this group they would need a strong hand guiding them.She saunters back to her table swinging her hips, knowing he's watching her go. She's glad to see everyone there with the exception of stuffy ol Barrington, who is sitting alone. She has a brief flash of regret, she could have used his opinion on his, but she pushes that thought aside. Regret was not something Katerina del Corazon usually entertained, there was no time for it.She slides into a seat and speaks in hushed tones. "I believe we need those men to help run our soon to be acquired ship, they fill a need that we are sorely lacking." She didn't want to insult anyone but this was definitely a varied group, including three old timers. "They have laid down a challenge that until we win, they will not entertain my offers. I could probably get them to listen but this way we can also test their mettle while the competition going on. So, insult arm wrestling is the game." She takes a moment to look at each of the people at the table. "I don't know some of you well... Hugo, you might not win in strength but you certainly could win a match of wits with him. That is one way to look at this." She knew the dwarf all her life and that he had the skills to do this. "The other way is with brawn. Doctor, you seem to be in fine physical shape. Perhaps you would like a go?" She takes another pause to think before speaking again. "Any of you might have skills I do not know about. What say all of you? I imagine we don't have long with that bunch to make a decision. Who is willing and who is our best chance at impressing those brutes?"</blockquote>
