Kaillyn walked down the marble staircase, after finishing getting ready. She was wearing the light, pink dress Elizabeth had bought for her, just that morning. Kaillyn put her hair up loosely, with wisps falling framing her face. She searched for Elizabeth, but found Will first.
'Kaillyn, you look lovely.' said Will smiling.
'Thank you, it's your lovely wife who bought me these.'
'Ahh, so that's where she hurried off to this morning. She was excited, no doubt about shopping. She loves it, I wouldn't be surprised if she offers to take you again today. For shoes no less.' he laughed, 'But you look lovely, and if you're looking for Elizabeth, she's in the parlor.'
'Thank you.' Kaillyn started to walk away, but before she got anywhere she stopped and turned, 'Ah, Will?'
'Yes, Kaillyn?'
'Where might your parlor be located?' she smiled, a bit embarrassed.
'Aye, that would be the door right after the dining hall... the dining hall is just after that door, there.' he smiled pointing to the direction she should travel.
'Thank you.'
She walked to the door, passed the dining hall, and into the parlor. Elizabeth's back was to her. Elizabeth had her hair flowing down to her mid-back, it was light brown, and curled at the ends. She was wearing a full, white dress with a pink bow around her petite waist.
'Good afternoon, Elizabeth.' Kaillyn said timidly.
Elizabeth turned around, her face beaming, her face was even more beautiful than her hair and her dress.
'Oh, good day, Kaillyn! You look beautiful, absolutely lovely!' she cried running to her.
'Oh, thank you, but I am in no comparison to you.'
'Oh, hush, they look like they fit you, does it feel alright?' asked Elizabeth, looking at her.
'Oh, Elizabeth, they're perfect. I am so grateful for your kindness. I've never had anyone buy me such beautiful things.' Kaillyn said. Elizabeth noticed how thankful she truely was.
'Oh, Kaillyn, you're welcome. It's just a little celebration gift.' Elizabeth looked at Kaillyn's stomach, 'And you don't even look pregnant in that dress.'
'They are so beautiful, I could have never imagined choosing such fine things.'
'Well, I was raised with all this. Fashion is the only thing I took a liking to in this over-the-top town.' she giggled.
'That's what Will told me.'
'Yes, he knows full well I love clothes... just not corsets. You will not find even one in this house.' she smiled.
'I've never even worn one, so that's fine.'
'Really? You're lucky. Where did you grow up? Surely not in Singapore, nor London. They were obsessed with them.'
'No, I didn't grow up in one place. My parents made James and I move around alot. We mostly lived in pirate- filled towns like Tortuga.'
'You lived in Tortuga!' Elizabeth cried in shock.
'Yes, we were there a lot, unfortunately.' Kaillyn said looking at the floor.
'Here, well i'm sure you had a rough childhood there. Here come sit down, lets chat about our plans for the day, shall we?' asked Elizabeth, walking toward two white, wicker chairs, with a glass tea table separating them.
'Yes, lets.'
Jack came in with James from outside, and saw Will.
'Well, 'ello, Will. Where be Kailey?'
'She's having tea with Elizabeth, in the parlor.'
'Ah, I better not interrupt girl talk.' Jack said laughing.
'Aye, i'd bet against it, too.' said Will, 'What have you and James been doing for so long outside?'
Then James cried, 'Jack was teaching me fencing moves.'
'Sword fighting moves, lad. Fencing sounds like your a daisy.'
'A flower?' asked James.
'No...well, sure.' said Jack looking up at Will, a loss of words.
Will laughed and said, 'Lets see what Jack taught you then.'
James put on his hat and pulled out his wooden sword.
'Alright, James, when I step 'ere, you step' James moved to a fighting stance.
'Aye, good.' Jack continued.
Will smiled at the sight, he remembered when he played this game with Jack years ago in his blacksmith's shop. Jack and James were waltzing around each other in fighting positions, and finally James pushed his sword toward Jack.
'Ahh, ye got me.' Jack whispered taking the sword and pushing it between his arm and his side. Jack wobbled around a bit, before dramatically falling onto the floor. Will laughed at the sight of the great Captain Jack Sparrow on the floor, to the mercy of a 7-year-old.
'I win again!' cried James, excitedly.
'Aye, but I want a chance to redeem myself, later, savvy?' asked Jack, still on the ground.
'Savvy.' laughed James.
At that moment, girls' laughter was heard. Jack's head popped up, seeing Elizabeth and Kaillyn watching them.
'Ahh...James and I were just playing.' Jack stuttered, jumping up from the floor.
'We see...' Elizabeth said smiling.
After Jack was fully standing, he looked at Kaillyn. He went from her feet, and his eyes slowly moved up her body. Elizabeth noticed and looked at Kaillyn, who also noticed, for she was turning pink.
'Doesn't Kaillyn look lovely, Jack?' Elizabeth said, interrupting the silence.
'Aye, very.' he said turning to Elizabeth, then he turned back to Kaillyn, 'Ye look beautiful, Kailey.'
Then Jack walked up to Kaillyn, holding his arm out for her to take. She did.
'Let's take a walk, shall we?' Jack asked, in his fake Euro accent.
'Let's.' she replied smiling.
He brought her outside.
'When did ye go shopping?' he asked.
'Oh, actually Elizabeth bought them for me. She's so sweet. I love your friends, Jack. It's odd, though.'
'What's odd, luv?'
'Well, I grew up hearing of the stories of you, Captain Jack Sparrow,' she laughed, 'And I even heard of the story when you came here to Port Royal and how you were almost hanged for an assortment of things-' Jack laughed remembering the good old days. '-and it's just odd meeting all these people in the stories.'
'Aye, but they weren't stories, luv, as ye can see.'
'Yes, you are correct about that.'
'So, do ye like it 'ere in Port Royal?'
'Yes, we've only been here a day and it's already enraptured me.' she smiled looking all around her.
'Umm...I got a question for ye, that i've been wondering about for quite some time.'
'What is it, Jack?'
'Why do ye talk so proper, although ye grew up in places like Tortuga?'
'Oh, well, when I was living with my parents, I made it my objective to teach myself to be as different as the people I grew up around as possible. So, whenever I had a chance of free time, I would go off and get books owned by rich people, and teach myself their vocabulary.'
'Ahh, it's all clear to me now.'
'You actually noticed my vocabulary?'
'Well, ye noticed mine, didn't ye?'
'Oh, yes, true.' she smiled.
'So, what do ye 'ave planned for today?'
'Well, Elizabeth and I are going shopping, i'm starting to think she does that a lot.' she laughed, 'And the rest of the day is open, you?'
'I'm going with Will to his work. See what the whelp did for himself. Will said that there's a 'ittle high tone and fancy to-do at the Commodore's. Will and Elizabeth are going, and Will wants us to be his guests, what do ye say? Will ye accompany me?'
'Yes, of course, but I thought you sad you didn't want to see the Commodore?
'Well, I forgot I had a lovely lass on me arm to show off.' he smiled, kissing her hand.
'Well, how can I refuse an invitation like that, I would like to see this lass of yours.' she smiled.
'Ahh, ye are me lovely lass.' he laughed at the thought of seeing the Commodore's face when he sees Kaillyn on his arm, 'This should be fun.'
