Rebecca is the first person you think of when you see this face, probably because she's the one you actually saw the most. You didn't speak with her much - you were there for magic, not politics - but you both spoke with the captain often enough, so you have some idea of her habits.
And there were times when she didn't even speak. You saw her make a strange motion with her arm - it resembled a swimming stroke, now that you think of it. After which the captain would issue orders and then wander off with her. It mostly happened in the middle of storms.
So maybe it's meaningful to these lookalikes. You haven't exactly got a lot of other ideas, so you make the same awkward swimming motion, at least as best as you can remember it.
The anger in her eyes is swiftly replaced with confusion. She hesitates for a bit, then makes the "out of my way" motion again, but follows it up with a "come here" motion.
She's curious, at least. Well, it's progress.
You let her slip past, and then start following. She moves back to the hospital, then around it, and then towards the sailors' guildhouse.
She then hides in a dark spot. You follow.
"I don't know how in the hells you learned that signal," she says, "but don't think for a moment it means I trust you, wizard."
"I didn't imagine it would. I simply have some questions."
"And I don't have time or inclination to answer them. But if you help me out with something, I might be willing to reconsider."

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
