Based on his answer, Handel could only assume that even if Arafael had not exactly fallen for her ruse, she had implanted enough doubt to at least stay his hand. Granted, what she said about Marine ranks and power was not entirely true; though rank and power often correlated, there were obviously exceptions. It could be that Arafael was stronger than her. But as he drew her attention to the docks, she could only comment, [color=a187be]"That's...not one of mine...?"[/color] Handel left the safety of the doorway and headed to the side of the ship, leaning over the railing, looking at Coyote. Deciding that adding a little chaos in the form of an 'unknown element' might disrupt the good lieutenant's plans, Handel called out to Coyote, [color=a187be]"Yo! Welcome to the Brown Isles. You seem lost. I just got here myself. Watching the boat for my crew. They should be back soon, and I'm sure they can tell you whatever you need to know about the island. It's just me and my dog, Scruffy, up here on deck. Say 'hi' to the nice man, Scruffy."[/color]
