Will hung up his newly made swords proudly in the shop. He hoped if anyone came in would buy one immediately. As he finished hanging the last one, he caught a glimpse of a black cat by the door. Without thinking, Will smiled and said "Hello. How long have you been there, lil' guy?"

Why do people always ask that question when they just notice something?

"You're the menace that gave me this, yesterday," Will said, pointing to a long scratch on his arm.

Juno's expression did not change. Will rolled his eyes, then walked up to a shelf. He dug a bit behind some items, then a rum bottle appeared. He took a quick sip, then hid it again.

"Elizabeth likes you, you beast," Will continued, forgetting the fact that he was talking to a cat.

And you think I wouldn't know? She calls me 'Silky Paw'!

Will put his hands on his waist and raised an eyebrow at the feline carelessly sitting on the stone step.

Yes?

Will sighed and shook his head, then resumed his work. Juno laid back his ears.

"ROWRRRR!"

"HOLY SMOKES!" Will lept three feet in the air. He whizzed around at the black cat sitting on the step. "What was that for!" Will stared at the cat a bit. "Are you smiling?"

Oh shoot. Caught.

Juno blinked. Before anything else happened, the door swung open and nearly hit the black cat, who quickly lept onto Will's shoulders and dug his claws into Will.

"HEY-O WILLY!" Jack Sparrow sang as he threw open the door.

"You startled the cat, Jack." Will stated, wincing as Juno clung to his shoulder.

I'm not startled. The door swung open and I jumped onto you because you were the closest object.

"Ah, you got a cat?" Jack said.

"No...uh..it just...appeared..." Will tried to find an answer.

"'Ello, puss!" Jack greeted, then stomped into the shop.

Will unhooked Juno off his shoulder. Juno plopped to the ground and bit Will.

"OW!"

Put me down carefully next time! I'm a delicate creature! Delicate creatures deserve delicate handling!

"You okay?" Jack queried.

"Thing bit me!" Will grumbled, rubbing his leg.

"You probably threw it down or something. Delicate creatures deserve delicate handling!" Jack returned. "Hmm... got any rum?"

Ooh! Ooh! This guy is cool! He deserves to know where the rum is!

"We don't have any rum!" Will stated simply.

Juno trotted over to a shelf, lept up, dug behind some tools and books, and knocked a hidden rum bottle to Jack's feet.

"Clever creature," Jack smirked, then swung up the bottle and drank heartily.

"That is for emergency only!" Will quickly lied, leaping for the bottle.

Jack turned slyly and drank the rest of the rum. "Ah, good stuff there."

Juno was enjoying the show. Jack turned to the black cat and smiled. "Pretty, graceful, quick, nimble puss, I am in your debt..."

A kick at Elizabeth would be nice.

"...except kicking Elizabeth. I could trip her though..."

Shoot.

"NO! Jack, what are you doing? You are conversing with a cat!" Will screamed.

Psh. Stating the obvious, are we?

"You're stating the flippin' obvious, Will. Ah well, came for a short visit, 'twas all. Hmm. I like your puss. Can I 'ave him?" Jack asked.

"He was never mine." Will muttered.

"There we go! Ah, let's go puss! There's a whole world out there full of treasure and death and girls! You need a girl, matey. I can see it."

Not necessarily. But I am up for going with you.

Juno lept off the shelf and padded after Jack as he left the shop.

"Oh yes, nice to see you, Will!" Jack said before stepping out.

-

Yay second chappy done.

Jack and Juno get along well, don't they?
