He'd hoped it would cause a bit of a stir, especially among the more superstitious among Komodo Roy's men, and it has. That will prove useful, he thinks. As they walk along the beach, towards the boardwalk along the quay (20 minutes or so? enough time to talk and strategize), Barrington makes appraisal of Kid. Kid's sobered up quickly, which perhaps means that he wasn't as bad as he first appeared. But he's not just after a quick copper, either, which suggests he's trustworthy to some degree, or at least in it for the long con -- which means he'll behave trustworthy, for a while. Kid is enthusiastic and seems to be open to a longer term association. In answer to his questions, Barrington speaks. "The disk is made of a substance called ether, my lad; it's a substance that the learned men in Europe have discovered and are beginning to control. And I too have undertaken some study of it. You'll have seen the reaction that it provoked among the cargo hands at Komodo Roy's. I hope to use that: for now, if you talk about it, you can use the word Sorcerer or Warlock as much as you like. It doesn't matter if that's what you call me, or whether you deny that's what I am. But it would be of help if you could help rumours begin. We're going to be seen as we walk along the quay, and if you insist that I am, or am not, a sorcerer, that rumour will spread. We've currently tied up all the cannons in Nassau, or so we believe. Now let's see if we can't sell them. If they belong on the Coral Curse, then I suggest we start there. I have met some of the crew of that ship already, and so getting a meeting should not be difficult. I have a market for one of the demiculverins already, but if we can find a buyer for the others, we might also find there is opportunity for us in the weeks to come. That is, if you are ready for some adventure..."</blockquote>
