"So what do you make of that?" Pintel and Ragetti sat behind the barrels, talking in low voices, watching as the two Captains stood by the water.

Pintel continued, "'e looks like 'e's not very happy with 'er." They both peered out, watching as the two Captains talked. Pintel turned towards Ragetti. "Why do you think 'e chose 'er to be the Pirate Lord?"

The tall blonde man shuffled in his position, uncomfortableness evident on his thin face. Finally he sat back and started adjusting the leather on his shoes. In a conversational tone he replied, "I think that Miss Swann feels summat for the Capt'n but doesn't want to let on that she does, so she is telling him that she needs to get Mister Turner back. Capt'n, he doesn't want her to know how much she is under his skin, but doesn't want to get Mister Turner back since he went to all the trouble of gettin' him out there an' all, and she is wantin' him to go after young William." A troublesome pebble popped out from between his dirty toes. He sighed in relief.

Pintel peered out again between the barrels and frowned. "Do you think 'e'll give in to 'er?" He watched as the Captain started to walk around her.

Ragetti sat with his feet out before him, wiggling his toes. "I dunno. He might, what with all them womanly wiles an' all. But I think he's cleverer than that. I think he'll be smart and wait until she can't wait anymore and she'll probably do summat like physical to get him."

"What?" Pintel turned back to his mate and looked goggle eyed at him. "You reckon she'll hit 'im?"

"Maybe." Ragetti again played with the leather on his shoe, before resuming his former position of sitting on his haunches behind one of the barrels. "Perhaps she'll try to, then the Capt'n will get all physical back with her…"

Pintel gave a guffaw, "…and then we'll finally have two happy Capt'ns." Pintel turned back towards the two Captains. "Awww… ain't love just grand?"

Misters Pintel and Ragetti stayed sitting where they were and continued to watch Captains Swann and Sparrow, as they stood looking out over the water's edge.
