While she explained the situation as she was hearing it, he looked the pair in the corner over again. Her declaration of what "they" should do had him almost choke on his ale. "Wait you want us to whaa.." Before he could finish speaking, she was starting off toward the duo. He reached out and grabbed her hand, yanking her back toward him. In a hushed voice he calmly, but sternly said, "Easy there tiger!" He moved her to sit back down before taking a glance around to make sure they hadn't garnered to much attention to themselves.
Satisfied, he looked back to her and continued, "Look...we have absolutely no proof of who they are or what that man is up to outside of what only you and your great ears overheard. Not only that, but if this guy really did kidnap the little girl...I seriously doubt he's going to fall for any feminine wiles at the present time." A small smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth for a moment. "No matter how cute you may be." A more serious expression soon replaced the smirk and he sighed. "Now IF, we are going to try and get ourselves mixed up in somebody elses affairs. We'll need to think it through for a moment and come up with something clever, that doesn't land ourselves in the brig for some reason."
Looking back to the big man, he noticed him calling the barmaid back over, along with the drink in his hand. A mischiveous smile slowly appeared on his face. "Ok I have an idea. But you're going to have to move fast. Once I get him good and distracted, take the girl and get her out of here. Just...try not cause as big of scene as when you first "bumped" inte me, ya?" Without wasting another second as his opportunity was about to pass him by, he gave her a quick wink and got up making his way toward his target. As he got closer, he began to stagger along as if he had WAAAAY to much to drink. In just the nick of time, he was able to cut in between the barmaid and the big man. Wrapping his arm around her shoulder, he laughed and said, "Well hey there pretty lady!" As he did, not so accidently bumped into the big mans mug of ale, spilling the drink all over him.
He turned around and feigned a look of complete shock and regret. "By the godss...I'm shooo shorry my friend.. *hiccup* "Here....let me help ya with that!" Releasing the disgusted barmaid, he grabbed his cloak and went to dry off the man, but "tripped" and fell into him instead....
God, this is soooo going to hurt, he thought to himself. He only hoped, Velody was going to be able to move fast enough to get the child and sneak out before the man could figure out what just happened.
