Yeah it matters! My own dang captain's already determined to kill me, I don't need to get off on the wrong foot with a new crew member as well as have two people after my head rather than one! I won't blame you if you sit back and 'see what happens' since I can't prove my identity to someone new anyway... All I'm askin' is that you don't try to kill me. I'm a dang raccoon creature for crap's sake. If I meant harm to the crew I'd have a lot of trouble accomplishing that in this pathetic body.

[plus if she's any kind of warrior he won't be able to fight her at all... He felt so annoyingly helpless without his muscles, size, and sword. Even these tiny teeth were useless compared to his shark ones]
