The comment that Aeleus wasn't particularly knowledgeable about ships in general is met with a sigh, although he really wanted to offer up up another frown in return. But since he'd much prefer to not end up looking nearly as serious as Even does he settles for looking vaguely displeased instead.

After a moment or so of silence that was either consideration or a mild form of irritation at the remark about Even, he nods his agreement. The library would presumably have at least something on the ships, and they might as well go now. He's seen the docks and that will be enough for now.
