Engrossed was a bit of an overstatement. Granted, to an outsider, he probably did look interested. Really, he was spacing out as his thoughts went back to the pearls. Of course he'd been drawn to them. He was a smuggler after all. He was wishing he could fill his pockets and figure out a way out of here... thinking about how rich he and his crew would be when something stirred him out of his reverie. Looking up he caught sight of Rose again.
