[A first mate, eh? Now that's a valuable person to know.
Faris weighs the pros and cons of going further with this. On the one hand, the guy is ready to run, and he's not going to try anything with the two of them anymore. On the other, he might just try it on others--he's too drunk to turn down a bad idea. It's not just pirates who've been made messengers-in-a-bottle--that brightly-colored kid, for instance, might be in trouble if she runs into this bloke.]
Aye, no one could argue that. [He cracks his knuckles. Faris might be short for a man, but he's had years to learn how to turn that to his advantage.] Tell you what. We'll make it fair, and let you have the first swing.
