Aaaannnd just when they said to be careful and watch their step he saw a young Puff getting familiar with the ship's deck. Salander pressed his lips together into a line trying to look displeased but really he was trying his best to keep from guffawing and having a real good laugh at the boy's expense.

So instead he turned his back to them and started on his way again, snickering as he did.

Then another young stuttering voice caught his attention. He looked at her curiously, wondering what could she possibly be frightened about and then realized "Oh..... " he started. Yeah what did he mean by that? ".... just wanna make sure you kids dont end up getting a splinter or a cut or s'mthn." he shrugged. Should he also warn them about ancient ships carrying cursed treasures?...

Nahhhh. He doesnt know what kind of ship this is anyway. Hence the exploring.

And besides what fun is there of knowing whats luriking around the corner? heh.
