"This ship seems to belong to a fruit merchant," Handel thought to himself as he approached dock 13, noticing crates of fruit. A very large woman appeared to be conversing with someone from the ship. From her attire, Handel could only assume she was being hired to protect the shipment from pirates, though pirates usually had no interest in fruit unless the crew happened to be suffering from scurvy. Well, if they were hiring bodyguards, Handel figured he could try his hand at becoming a defender of fruit too, anything to get him off this island and as far away from Ricden as possible. Handel passed by some barrels before stopping in his tracks. He turned his head to the side, confirming what he thought he saw. There was a woman crouching behind those barrels, staring at the merchant vessel. Handel didn't know why, perhaps his curiosity got the better of him but he was compelled to ask, "Umm...what are you doing down there?"
