[Happened upon... Lyney doesn't believe that the cook had been exceptionally helpful without some kind of 'persuasion'. He couldn't help the swift judgment; this man's hulking frame and hidden face reminded him of The Captain, and that Harbinger was not known for his weakness. Heck, this masked man already tried to frighten him off earlier, so Lyney wouldn't be surprised if this man used ulterior means to make this supposed cook "helpful".]

[Lyney can concede that more information could be found at the port, but he still wants to know what else this man knows. So, he looks up earnestly at the man again, nodding in understanding, but still with a pleading look on his face.]

Right... I'll certainly go and check out the port. Um, but, sir... is there anything else you could tell me? Anything... that others might not know? If it's something that could help...

[Leaning on that "desperate sibling" card once more; it worked so far, right? And he might be pushing it, but he really did want to know all he could find out.]
