Ash kind of just nodded, leaning on his rifle as he kind of raised an eyebrow. Even standing on the rock, the captain dude wasn't taller than Ash. But he assumed that the man wanted to have some confidence and be somewhat of a leader type, so whatever he felt he needed to do to get that across, so be it. But he couldn't help but chuckle a bit at seeing him though, but kept it to himself.
It seemed as though the man was willing to pay the lot of them money in order to go on whatever kind of adventure he wanted to go on. He didn't quite say what that adventure was, but it didn't really matter. He was willing to pay. And seeing Ash save the captain and kick the shit out of the guy, he took interest in the ex-soldier. Which Ash wasn't surprised, he didn't do much besides that, and he did his job very well. As long as there was booze on the ship he'd be fine... Yo ho, yo ho, and a bottle of rum.
Apparently the one woman had all kinds of experience in... Well, Ash guessed fixing shit. He didn't catch half the words, nor did he care what they were, he kind of wasn't paying attention. All he knew was she was some kind of mechanic. "Yeah yeah, great, good for you. You sound smart. I don't think I have to explain myself. If you want one, you can ask the guy at the bottom of that canyon." Ash nodded behind him to the cliff edge. "I'll join your little crew, as long as I get booze and ammunition, I'm happy. I'll keep you and your ship safe. As for other people and their ships... Quite the opposite."
