Ferrin glanced over his shoulder. Just to be sure. He saw some concerned crewmembers coming over to see what the commotion was about. Ferrin waved them off, while remarking to Edarn, [color=silver]"I said girl not woman. Then again, that could be a compliment. I knew one girl would could and would kick your ass if you crossed her."[/color] His expression turned sad as he remembered some friends lost. The boy reached out to accept the proffered hand, but he was interrupted by a very loud and enthusiastic tackle-hug.

Ferrin raised an eyebrow.  

Then something odd happened: man he was talking to changed. Their persona did a complete one-eighty into that of a hyperactive kid on sugar and coffee, then let loose with a rapid-fire 'explanation', while showing off some impressive transformation talents.

Ferrin blinked, nonplussed. He looked at his offered hand, still unshaken. He used it to scratch the back of his head. He still didn't know the kid's name.

He looked up just in time to get a faceful of a giant tongue.

Right in the burn.

He froze in shock, head tilted upward, eyes watering, his expression seemed to be stuck in a priceless mixture between surprise, pain, and disgust. His fingers twitched on their own. He hissed as he inhaled, bracing for the pain, which, strongly, didn't come. He closed his eyes and let the pent-up breath out slowly, with a calming motion of his hand. 

[color=silver]"Gross."[/color] He stated, that one word carrying as much weight as several books. He opened his eyes again, glaring at the cheerful man. 

He dismissed his sword and used the back of his gloved hand to wipe the slobber dripping from his face. It was not lost on him that the burn felt better.

Ferrin put two and two together and got four, took that four and made a rapid series of deductions.

His expression segued into one of extreme calm irritation. [color=silver]"Right. Now that that is settled. I have a question for you. [i]All[/i] of you."[/color] 

He looked from the serious to excitable boy and the passive-aggressive newcomer and back again.

[color=silver]"Exactly how many people am I talking to right now?"[/color]
