His reply isn't exactly encouraging, the crossed arms not entirely friendly, but at least he's not attacking or running. She sometimes enjoys a good fight, but talking is often more effective. He doesn't speak English, but his words indicate that someone else might. First, of course, she'll try other languages. "Tu parles francais?" she begins, and then starts cycling through the other languages she knows, hoping he'll speak one of them.

No such luck. She eventually returns to English, since he at least speaks a few words of it. "Is there someone else who speaks English?" she asks, not at all sure that he'll understand, but before she tries to have a conversation through the language barrier she has to at least ask.

He seems wary of her, but there's none of the hatred and fear some people look at her with. Either he doesn't realize she's a pirate, or he doesn't care. In any event, she's not here to plunder and pillage, but to find out what sort of island this is and if the locals are going to cause them any trouble while they look for supplies.
