Council of the Corsair Elders

[Chico]

Chico stood at the approach of the stranger. He proferred his hand and Chico took it.
"Hello there. I dont believe we've had the pleasure of meeting before. I am Silvan Argus, a Zoner from neighboring Theta. Perhaps you have heard of me? To my surprise, I seem to be rather well known amongst the Corsair people".

He had cahoonas this one. That was for sure.

"Hola Senor Argus. I am Chico. It is fair to say your name, among others of your kin is well known here. Welcome to Crete. I hope you come to talk with more determination behind your words than your predecessors we have been trying to resolve our differences with".

Chico glances left and right. Then quickly draws close to the tall Zoner "A word of advice Senor, beware Espi and his rum...it's rumoured he ran his Titan on it when the H-fuel shortage hit".

The Zoner, steps back at first confused, then smiles and the tension is broken somewhat.
