"'Tis alright, m'lady." one of the sailors says.  "Even though it be
Silbran, it's good to see ye are decent folk."

[GM]
The man stammers, and his surface thoughts reveal fear and anger.  There is
also the clear intent to deceive.

"I guess I was just, um, a little confused." he says, while he fidgets. 
"You know, hitting the water must have dazed me.  That's all."

One thing that the others can guess, and Alex knows for sure now is that the
man is lying.  Alex senses a man prepared for any violence, and to something
in his left pant pocket.

[GM]
Phaeton tears himself away from the conversation between Silbran and Alex
and walks over to Arden.  He turns to the others.  "I will return in a
moment.  Watch that man.  He may be a murderer."  With that he leads Arden
aside.
[/GM]
