Jin smiled as Briney explained that he wouldn't be going out to sea, but having an eventful day with his son. He swallowed the morsel in his mouth and nodded approvingly. [color=gray]"That's fine,"[/color] he replied. [color=gray]"I'll follow your lead all the same. It would help even just to hear some stories of what you have seen about the beach over the years."[/color] explained Jin in reiteration. In a brief passage of time, Jin had all his clothes on, which included his multipurpose black-camo raincoat. He was heading for the front door, in the middle of the hallway when a voice as crude as it was impatient piped up from the outside. Jin noted that amongst all the natural faux pas the voice seemed to be taking an endearing liberty, suggesting that it was not simply being rude, but probably belonged to someone who knew Briney well enough that it would be taken tongue in cheek. To that end, Jin refrained from responding in any meaningful manner other than glancing to Briney for his cue. From his position at the table, Jin could see into the hallway where the beholder of the voice was approaching, able to appreciate both his stature and attire, soaking as they were from the continuing downpour. By his dress sense, Jin didn't see anything about him that suggested he had any akin to boating, but the manner in which the man called Briney to action and the way in which he had no concern about the rain water nestling into his clothes suggested a man in his element. Jin was just glad that for once this didn't present yet another person seeing Jin in a compromising fashion. He tried to avoid eye contact with the man and rotate sideways to let him pass as he entered. Jin's intention was to fade into the background of whatever interaction he would have with Briney.
