I don't own Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates characters.
There were two reasons why Billy Jukes scowled. The first reason? Billy Jukes focused on a bowl of stew in front of him. A bubble appeared. He began to slouch. Billy Jukes turned to Captain Hook while the latter glowered at him.
''It's not polite to slouch,'' Captain Hook said to Billy Jukes.
*I never enjoy eating any meals prepared by Cookson.* There was another stew bubble. Billy Jukes glanced at Cookson. His eyes widened as soon as Cookson seized a fly and added it to a pot. He was suddenly queasy. He refused to focus on his food again.
The other reason for the scowl? One glance at Cecilia. The woman Captain Hook was going to eventually marry.
Billy Jukes shuddered after he viewed Cecilia's long teeth and the sheet concealing most of her face. What remained of her face. Billy Jukes tried to remember how Cecilia was disfigured. If he remembered correctly, Captain Hook mentioned his older brother disfiguring Cecilia years ago. Wishing for extra gold coins? Selling a freak to a carnival? Perhaps the exact reasons.
Billy Jukes attempted to recall Captain Hook mentioning visiting Cecilia within a tent once a year. At least prior to saving up enough money to purchase her. He guessed Captain Hook forgot about his rule about women not being permitted on his ship. Unless maybe there were feminine prisoners. Then again, perhaps Captain Hook no longer considered Cecilia to be a woman. She didn't look human. Didn't act human. Most of the time.
A scowl came back as soon as Billy Jukes observed Cecilia slouching. Eyes settled on Captain Hook while the latter ate stew. Perhaps Captain Hook was too selective when it came to yelling. Perhaps he didn't wish to discipline Cecilia due to not being able to prevent her from being disfigured.
Billy Jukes had to get even with Captain Hook. How?
