Um, the idea for this drabble came to me when I was watching John Safran's Speaking in Tongues and they had a Muslim woman on. John picked up on the fact that she was wearing eyeliner, when the Qu'ran said that she shouldn't. The woman countered that it was in actuality, kohl, and that it was a loophole because kohl had medicinal properties. This of course, got me thinking about the good Captain.
Title:
Medicinal Properties

Disclaimer: I own nothing and
nobody would pay for it anyway.
A/N: In my mind this was set in
some sort of cell or room, in which Jack and Will had been
locked/couldn't get out of, and were bored out of their minds.

"You got any stories? Anything you'd been wanting to ask, but was 'fraid to tell 'ol Jack?"
Will hesitated. "Well, there is one thing…"
The pirate sat up instantly. "Good lad! Let's hear it then."
"Why do you wear… whatever it is you wear around your eyes?"
"Kohl."
"What?"
"Called kohl. 'S got medicinal properties."
Pause. "So you wear it for its medicinal properties?"
Jack looked perplexed. "Why'd I do that?"
"You look like a woman."
"I do look pretty," he agreed.
Will snorted and sat back. "You're a strange man, Jack."
Jack's grin flashed gold. "No stranger than most."
