[on whatever day it was that Faye went out, Thash tagged along as promised. However, it would take some convincing to get him to play cards or even reveal what he was here. He didn't like the looks of these people...they didn't seem like calm types that wouldn't be bothered by a shark freak. They looked more like the rowdy, intolerant, lynch-you-for-being-different type. Not that he was afraid of a fight....but starting one with Faye around would spoil her poker fun]

[so, he sat in the corner like a boring statue, watching her from under the hood of a cloak he'd had sitting around on the ship. He sort of wanted to try his hand at poker and socialize with Faye, but he'd figured he'd hang back until she'd had plenty of fun first before taking off the cloak and possibly starting something]

[of course, this was all assuming the men were polite to Faye. If any of them tried to get their hands of what they saw under that mini red dress, then there would be problems]
