[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 6666786, member: 23484"] Barrington scratches his thumb against his chin, in two quick movements, once he catches Polly's eye. He's smiling, and barely looking at the woman he's speaking with, truth be told. He hands her a shilling, though, and takes the key to the Captain's quarters, with a curt thank you and a promise to be done in time. He does hear the question about Polly, and that does attract his attention. He turns to her, and looks at her straight. [COLOR="#800000"]"You should be asking her that question, not me."[/COLOR] He wants to boast and say that he is, but he restrains himself, and orders two bowls of chowder. When Kid's conversation is done, they make their way to the back room. The silver disk glides through the room, and Barrington realizes that the effect he has hoped to have (eventually) on the crew of the Winchelsea might also frighten Prydwen. Nothing to be done about that, but he does feel embarrassed as he makes his way through the tavern. Once locked away, the disk dissolves, and the contents it carried slowly descend to the floor. While they eat, Barrington realizes how hungry he has been, and tears at the piece of bread he's been given with his teeth, and sops up the soup with bread rather than use a spoon. He sleeks between mouthfuls. [COLOR="#800000"]"We have done well so far, Kid. Your performance outside was commendable. I should explain.
