Will stared in amazement at the way in which Jack could order people around and how quickly they were to submit. Jack dropped into a chair: "Ye jus' 'ave te give'em what they want. Or at leasht make them feel as if you were." He grinned at Will, golden teeth flashing, and pointed to the other chair: "Sit down, whelp, and learn from Captain Jack Sparrow. Women are so easy te read. Clara fer example..." - "Jack?!" The addressed man startled at the sound of the shrill female voice and leaned forward as if to hide his face in the shadow of his ragged hat. Of course it was too late. A chubby whore came speeding towards their table and from the expression on her face Will could tell that she was not at all happy to see Jack around: "Jack Sparrow, ye seedy scoundrel!" Just in the moment that Jack lifted his head and an explanatory "But." slipped his lips, she smacked him hard.

"It's Captain Jack Sparrow.," the pirate mumbled as the whore stormed off again. Will bit his tongue trying to keep himself from laughing out loud but his sneer was evidence enough. After rubbing his cheek, Jack regained his composure enough to whistle at another wench. "Rum all'round, and put it on me tab!" Everyone in the room cheered with delight, making Jack smile once again. Will blinked, a bit astounded at how well the captain had handled the situation. Jack, noticing Will's confusion, leaned over the table and whispered, "I told ya, boy. Give 'em what they want.

He smirked, and Will finally realised it. Jack would never have to pay that tab. He would never really be in trouble. Everyone loved him because he seemed to love everyone. He appeared careless and spirited. There was something that just drew them all in, and he had finally figured it out.

It was already dawning when the innkeeper asked Jack to leave and take his friend with him.

Jack stayed safely in his chair and eyed Will's motionless body for a moment before getting up slowly, trying to gain some balance. All in vain. When Jack took a first step in Will's direction he tripped over his own feet and with a loud thud hit the floor. Will stopped snoring abruptly and lifted his head a tiny bit, mumbling incoherently. Halfway crawling over Will's lap Jack managed to get up again and grinned over at the innkeeper: "We's gonna pay temorrow." He grabbed his hat and placed it on his head before starting to pull at Will's arm almost violently. Reluctantly Will got up. He was heavily swaying and incredibly heavy which didn't make it any easier to keep standing for Jack and in between his muttering Jack got the basic message announcing Will was feeling terribly sick.

"Ye're pretty un. unco. uncopa. heavy, matey.," Jack panted while dragging Will towards the door. They didn't get far and landed on the floor. Jack exhaled frustrated and waved towards the innkeeper: "Get us te a room."
