Will can't believe his eyes. It's him! Or, he reasons, a good doppelganger. But the similarity was uncanny. The other Will looks a little older, and has scars Will has never had.
"William, my boy," He cries, withdrawing his sword," Come greet your father!"
"You, Sir, are not my father, my father is dead!" Will says, belying the hope he feels in his chest. He then stands and draws his sword.
"If your father is dead, and I an not him, then how would I know about Snooky? Enough to tell this entire tavern about him," The man teases jokingly.
Will reddens and looks horrified. "No, you wouldn't!" He turns his head around to look at the people in the tavern none of them were looking, thankfully. His pet bunny would remain a secret.
Snooky was always with Will. That poor rabbit was dragged everywhere. And Will had never told anyone of him, not even Jack.
Jack. Will feels a searing pain. Jack. Will tried to not think about him, tries not to see his honeyed face, and tries not to remember his entrancing eyes. Will dreams about Jack. Dreams about him every night, and in the daylight.
"Will? Yoo-hoo, William?" Bill waves his arms in front of his dazed son.
Will, of course, wants to be free of memories of Jack, so he struggles to the surface. By then Will has tears in his eyes and a lump in his throat.
Will can't look his newly found father in the eyes. He knew what Bill and Jack were, what had happened to them at sea. Will has a new plateau of clarity. Bill's back. That means even if Jack had wanted Will back, Jack now has a choice to make. Bootstrap Bill or Will. Father or son.
