Croix watched the events unfold with mild curiosity. He had a feeling that the old man working on the patient was telling the truth when he said he knew what he was doing, though he seemed to have a twisted sense of humor. Hana and Tera had finished their preparations and were crouching next to Doc, bundles of clean, steamed linen torn into strips to be used as bandages. His mind was racing...Val had certainly brought them something interesting if the man really was involved with One-Eye...the story made sense, Croix did vaguely recall seeing someone looking like this man during the brawl. One-Eye...he'd been a problem for the crew for quite some time now. Very much the opposite viewpoint to their own group, that man was rumored to rule his criminal empire with an iron fist, thinking nothing of employing blackmail and exploiting innocents. If this man would be able to provide some sort of information that would help against One-Eye's lot he would be useful indeed. His attention was caught by Val's inquiry and he noticed Ryelle glancing towards the exit.
"Her name is Ryelle. She was caught up in the blaze as well, helped me get out. Some kind of trader, evidently. We brought her here until things died down. Don't worry, Ryelle" he smiled kindly at her "he won't be able to start anything with us here. Besides...from what Val says, it sounds like he's got some trouble with One-Eye. As they say, the enemy of my enemy...he could prove useful to us. Regardless though, once the Doc here is done with him we'll make sure he's well restrained. We'll have quite the amount of questions for him..." His attention turned back to the nodachi resting against the wall. "Fascinating...this isn't a weapon that would be carried by some random thug. Whatever this man's issue with One-Eye is, he's got resources. You said One-Eye's brother is dead? Killed by this one?"
