"So, that was quite a lot of information he got during the telling of our story" Elizabeth chuckled later that night.
Her and Jack was sitting on the stairs watching the stars and the sea as the ship continued its journey. Jack smiled and nodded.
"Aye" he agreed. "It would seem that the young Mr. Jack Turner has had quite an interesting few days eh?"
"Indeed he has" Elizabeth sighed. "I'm just so relieved to have him back. I don't know what I would have done if something had happened to him. Part of me still can't grasp why they would keep him unharmed for a week… I mean, what did they hope to gain? If al they wanted was to hurt us then why not just kill him?"
"Well luv, I'm afraid it was never their intention to hurt the boy, at least not until absolutely necessary. I think they were trying to use him against Will seeing as they didn't have his heart to control him with. I think the esteemed Mr. Murtogg is trying to follow in Becket´s footsteps, albeit very unsuccessfully"
"I have to keep a closer eye on him then!" Elizabeth stated with determination. "There is no way I'm letting them have my son or that kind of power ever again"
"Don't worry about it Lizzie" Jack assured her. "I promise every member of the brethren court will be informed that any pirate is to watch out for the whelp, if for nothing else then for the sake of the pirate's survival in this world"
"You're an amazing man Jack Sparrow" Elizabeth established softly.
"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow luv… kind of comes with the territory" he reminded her.
"I suppose it does" she laughed. "But that doesn't change the fact that you're amazing"
"Thank you darling" he acknowledged with a nonsensical sense of pride.
"No, thank you. I'm so glad you wanted to help me with this…."
"Always" Jack cut her off with a matter-of-fact tone of voice. "Don't ever doubt that. If you're in any kind of trouble you come look for me and we'll fix it, I promise you that"
"I've really missed you Jack" she admitted.
"I guess I've kind of missed you too" he smiled.
They sat there in silence for a while, just enjoying the stars and the moon above, and the sound of waves crashing against the ship as it moved steadily through the dark surface towards its destination.
