[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 6662765, member: 23484"] Barrington walks tall as he is taken into the Aladdin's cave of Komodo Roy. There's a lot to see here, and he is conscious that he has not been entirely honest, even with himself, as to why he is here. He makes no sudden moves -- that much of the instructions had been clear -- and he is interested t the gentle back-and-forth between Kid and Roy. His answers are terse, but friendly when he gives them, but he is not at the moment committing himself to any cause but his own. As they descend, Barrington stops at the limes, and reaches out for the thin netting that is serving as a bag. A gentle squeeze of one tells him what he needs to know about their freshness, better than anything else he has seen recently. All the inventory here is dazzling to Barrington, and he realizes the turnover of merchandise must be quick. He stops again at the giant lizards. [COLOR="#800000"]"Dragons,"[/COLOR] he says under his breath, not sure if it is a question, or one he wants answered.* He considers reaching to his pistol, more as a gesture for comfort, but declines. Then they come to the guns. Barrington squats down at one of the four cannons, reminded of the Kid's own observations earlier. [COLOR="#800000"]"I know where these have come from,"[/COLOR] he says, his hand running over the outside surface in a gentle caress. This, too, is not a question, and the cock of the side of his mouth makes it clear (he trusts) that it's not an accusation either. He makes a quick inspection of all four, noting whether there are indications they have been dry-fired, and respecting the local superstition (for such is how he sees it) never to walk in front of the barrel of any of them.
