Pain in the Arse
BY: Kleio

***
The roar of the drunken sailors and the paid giggle of the women
swarming around them were getting too much for Will Turner. He had
emptied far too many pints and fought off far too many ladies of the
night - all he wanted was to find the door out of this hellhole some
insisted on calling a tavern, and stumble back to the HMS Interceptor
and sleep till hangover. What this drunken orgy had to do with hiring
a crew and sailing after Barbossa and darling Elizabeth, Will hadn't
the foggiest. Apparently this was how crews were recruited in the
world of the pirates: drinking, singing, and probably later on
shagging, in a stuffy and smelly tavern in Tortuga.

"Jack, I think I'll be heading back now," Will tried to yell over the
table full of poorly but merrily singing pirates.

No answer, not even a nod. Captain Jack Sparrow was too busy burying
his face into the bosom of a beautiful brunette and Will didn't have
the heart nor the nerve to pull him away from his sweet hideaway. Yet
another one to be added to the long line of women Jack was
practically begging to get a slap from, as evidenced earlier that day
when meeting the lovely Scarlet and the lovely... whomever.

"Aren't there any rooms in this place?" Will murmured and turned his
back on the obscene sight.

After fighting his way through wine, song and women, Will found
himself standing in the alley, breathing in the fresh air to slow
down the rapidly spinning world around him. He shouldn't have
accepted all those drinks, but Jack had appeared to be on a generous
mood, or perhaps it was just his nature. Either way, the pints had
been carried before him in a steady stream and he had felt obliged to
dispose of them. Somehow Will found it utterly impossible to say 'no'
to Jack. There was something in the man's look that made him uneasy -
and alarmingly ready to carry out any orders the pirate captain might
give.

"He's a witch, that captain," Will muttered as he stumbled along the
way, presumably towards the docks. "He'll just look at you and smile,
he'll smile that golden smile of his, and WHAM! you're under his
spell, and you can't think straight, and he will have you do whatever
he wants you to do, and you can't do a damn thing about it, not a
damn thing..."

Will stopped at a corner and tried to remember which way they had
come. The town of Tortuga had been a muddle of streets and houses in
the daylight, but at night it looked like a giant labyrinth where all
the ways seemed equally right and wrong.

"Oh, well, can't be helped," Will stated resignedly and picked
randomly one of the streets opening before him. "Who cares where I
end up? He probably won't even notice I'm gone, too busy with
his 'bonnie lass'. Well, *my* 'bonnie lass' has been kidnapped by a
mad pirate and all I can do is watch him get drunk and have his
little fun with that, that... that whore! He'll give her that look,
that smile, and he'll have his fun and won't even notice that I'm not
there, and why would he? I'm nothing! Although, it was I that freed
him from prison, and if it weren't for me he'd be hanging from his
neck, but nooo," Will drawled to exaggerate his point. Then,
remembering what he had overheard in the tavern, when Sparrow and
Gibbs had discussed the true nature of this journey, he
continued, "He makes it seem like we're really here to get him his
ship back, like it's *his* trip, when really-really we're here
because *I* want him... no, because I need him..."

Will's drunken monologue came to a sudden end.

"Well, well, what have we 'ere?"

Will could barely make out the tall and heavy man behind the voice.
He was about to inquire the way to the docks when he noticed two more
men, likewise disturbingly strongly built, standing beside him.

"Let's see wha' ye got there, mate," one of the men said and before
he realised it, Will's sword had been taken from him.

"Look here... gentlemen," Will started apologetically as another was
going through his pockets. "I don't have much money on me..."

"Ye got that one right!" said the man inspecting his findings. "Ain't
worth much this one, is 'e."

The drunken Will was soon knocked over and left lying on the ground,
prepared to take in the kicks. He knew he would be no match for these
men in his highly intoxicated state and, moreover, without his
precious sword, so he resigned to try and minimize the damage ahead
by curling up to protect his vital organs.

Silently he cursed himself for leaving the tavern alone, and Jack for
letting him leave, and himself for coming to Tortuga, and Jack for
bringing him there, and himself for getting Jack involved in
Elizabeth's rescue in the first place, and Jack for meddling in
affairs that need not have concerned him in the least, and, in that
short while when he lay on the ground, waiting to be battered, Will
cursed Jack for every conceivable thing gone wrong in his entire life.

"Maybe we oughta 'ave us some fun with 'im, eh lads?"

Will took a deep breath and tightened his muscles, but the kick never
came. Instead, he was rolled onto his stomach and to his ultimate
surprise, he could feel the cool night air on his behind. Through his
drunken haze the true meaning of the word 'fun' began to dawn upon
him and in panic he started kicking and swinging his fists
ferociously, trying to hit anything he could possibly reach.

"No-no-no-no-no!" he screamed from the top of his lungs, but the
voice was soon silenced as his face was pushed to the ground and his
mouth filled with dirt. The man behind him was forcing himself on
Will, while the other two grabbed his hands and pinned him down.

"Shut up, ye bitch!" the man hissed between his teeth and Will sensed
his warm skin touching his bare buttocks. He gathered his strength
for one final push to free himself, but to no avail. He closed his
eyes and prepared for the worst.

"I fear I see no bitches here but three dogs," came the slightly
stammering but overly polite voice from behind them. "Any chance you
fellows would cease to molest me companion?"

The man lying on top of Will jumped to his feet and the other two
followed soon after, allowing Will to turn around and confirm what he
had heard.

"An' who the 'ell be ye, then?"

"Captain Jack Sparrow," Jack announced himself with a due bow. "But
you, my fine gentlemen, will remember me as the one who took your
sorry little lives!"

All Will could see were four pairs of legs stumping back and forth
around him and four blades glimmering in the moonlight. He hurried to
pull his breeches up to join the fight, but when he finally managed
to get to his feet, he found Jack standing next to two men lying on
the ground with dark stains on their shirts. The sound of footsteps
disappearing into the distance accounted for the third man.

"There's always got to be that one that got away," Jack said to
himself bitterly, and then, turning to Will: "You all right, lad?"

"Yes, I think so," Will muttered.

"Better be getting you to your bunk, luv. Had quite a scare there."

"I was just going back to the ship when they..."

"Let us not think about it," Jack said to calm the young man down.
Will was shaking uncontrollably and the paleness of his face was
turning towards green. "It's a long walk to the docks. You appear to
have taken the scenery route here, mate."

"Sorry, I couldn't remember..." Will was cut off by a sudden wave of
sickness and falling to his knees he threw up right in front of
Jack. "I don't think I can make it..."

"Alrighty then," Jack said matter-of-factly and pulled Will back
up. "Back to the tavern it is."

Half-carrying, half-dragging, Jack escorted Will through the maze of
streets and alleys, till finally Will found himself standing once
more in the same tavern, which now appeared to be even stuffier and
smellier than before. After a quick word with the owner, Jack
returned with a key and pushed Will up the stairs and into a small
and dark room, the furniture of which consisted of a narrow bed with
dirty linen, and what seemed to have once been a chair, but was now
simply a wooden plank on three legs.

"Sleep it off," Jack said, grabbing Will's sword and placing it on
the chair, and hurled the man onto the bed. "I'll have you picked up
in the morn."

"No, don't!"

"If you wish to stay here longer," Jack replied, taking a look around
the room, "I'd say you have a twisted notion of taste."

"No, I don't want to be alone." Will was swallowing back the nausea.
He was sure that if he threw up again, Jack would be gone in a
flash. "Please."

A complacent smile crept onto Jack's face.

"I know where I'm wanted," he said, already removing his sword and
pistol and piling them on the chair. Finally covering the whole lot
with his beloved hat, the still smirking man gave Will a little shove
in order to make room for himself. "And I'm always happy to
oblige."


***

Will nodded off almost immediately, but Jack sat leaning against the
wall for a good while, smoking his pipe, deep in his thoughts. Will
slept peacefully beside him, undisturbed by the music and laughter
coming from downstairs. The cool night air streamed in through the
window, which had only one of its shutters still in place, though
broken enough to do any actual 'shutting'.

Just as Jack was about retire after finishing his pipe, Will's body
started twitching and turning.

"No!" Will screamed suddenly and jumped out of the bed.

"Oy, easy now," Jack said to calm down the highly agitated man.
Trying to bring him back to reality, he asked, "Bit of a bad dream?"

"I was back there, right back there, and they wouldn't stop," Will
muttered as he sat down on the bed. "I couldn't make them stop, I
couldn't!"

"Nothing you could have done, luv." Jack laid back and pushed his
hand behind his head. "I say, three against one, no fair."

"You don't understand. They took my sword! No one had ever taken my
sword."

"Apart from yours truly," Jack said smugly.

"You didn't take my sword!" Will exclaimed. "You pulled out a pistol -
that was cheating!"

"Must you cling to every minor detail..."

"I felt so helpless. I hated it," Will continued, ignoring Jack's
remarks. "And then when they tried to..."

"Have their little fun?" Jack helped.

"I can't believe they wanted to... to do that," Will said in
disbelief. "Why on earth would they want to do that?"

"We come in all capes and guises."

"Shapes and sizes," Will corrected absent-mindedly.

"You sure?"

"I think so."

"Makes sense."

"Either way."

"True."

Will laid himself down on his back in the narrow space Jack had been
kind enough to leave free for him. Looking at the ceiling he kept
wondering about the shapes and sizes. He had just encountered three
shapes, and of considerable size, for that matter, but was unable to
make out what that shape actually was. These were not the shapes
commonly known in the world of the blacksmiths'.

"It's over and done with. Time to go bye-bye." Jack yawned and turned
onto his side, his back to the pondering Will.

But Will couldn't stay silent for long. The dream had been vivid
enough to keep his eyes open till morning. And his curiosity was more
than willing to follow the fate of the cat.

"But why?" he asked, not letting Jack to fall asleep just yet. "They
could have just gotten themselves a girl from any of the taverns."

"Maybe they're the type that don't go for the lasses," Jack replied
briefly.

"You mean..." Will stopped, not knowing what word to use. "You mean
they're... sodomites?"

"Not the most imaginative name I've known them to be called, but yes.
And now sleep. Big day of pillage and plunder ahead."

Will laid still for a good five minutes. The uneasy feeling of
wanting simultaneously to forget all about what had luckily never
happened, yet also to learn more about it, wouldn't leave him in
peace. As much as he loathed those men that had attacked him, there
were some truly strange and unwanted thoughts lingering in his aching
head which he simply could not quite comprehend, let alone expel.

"But why do they do it? Does someone actually *want* to do it?
Doesn't it hurt? It has to hurt."

"It depends," Jack murmured sleepily.

"On what?"

"What you mean by 'hurt', luv."

"Pain?" Will said, stating the obvious.

"Aye, but there be all kinds of pains. That be the good kinda pain.
To that kinda people. Savvy?"

Nearly a minute's awkward silence.

"And how would you know, Jack?"

Will was certain he heard Jack gasp, and had he been able to see the
look on the pirate's face, his eyes would have confirmed that a
nerve
had indeed been touched.

"I'm Captain Jack Sparrow," Jack answered, the familiar grin audible
in his voice. "I know all there is to know."

"You mean, it's a pirate thing?"

"A woman on board is bad luck."

"So-o?"

"Men be on board for weeks. Sleep."

Will turned his back to Jack and tried to close his eyes, but
although the drink pulled him into sleep, his mind refused to give in
just yet.

"So, have you done it?" he ventured to ask. "With a man, I mean."

"Sleep. Now. You may consider that an order." The grin was gone and
instead Jack's voice sounded harsh and cold.

But Will had gone too far to give up now.

"Did it hurt? Was your... ehm... behind... I mean, was it painful?"

"Not more than a certain pain in the arse is being right now!" Jack
snapped and turned onto his back, burying his face in his hands and
hissing through: "Why won't you let me close me eyes and sleep?!"

"I'm just curious, that's all."

"So, the lad wants to know what it's like, eh?" Jack mumbled to
himself as he rubbed his face. "Won't let me sleep till I tell him a
bloody bedtime story? Well, why tell..."

With one swift move Jack flung himself around and against Will's
back, wrapping his arms and legs around the young man's body and
finally covering the gasping mouth with his hand.

"...when I can show it to you meself!"

Will tried to struggle but in vain. He was utterly helpless. His head
was hanging partly over the edge of the bed, so all he could see were
the dirty floorboards. And all he could hear was Jack's low whisper
in his ear.

"I'll show you pain, if that's what yer wee heart desires," Jack
hissed, sending shivers down Will's spine. The dread-locks fell on
Will's face and the beard tickled his ear. The smell of rum and
tobacco in Jack's breath would have been enough to intoxicate any
man, but it was not so much the odor as the words coming out of the
man's mouth that made Will wriggle even more vigorously.

"Now, if I were to thrust me knob up yer arse..."

There was no need to finish the sentence for Jack could already sense
the desired effect as Will's whole body stiffened beneath him. In
addition to hearing about it, Will could also feel the said organ,
pressing hard against his buttocks, and dispelling the last hope of
this being some sort of joke on Jack's part.

"Know that I could take ye right 'ere..." Jack breathed into his
ear. "Could have me way with ye all night long and no one would be
any the wiser 'bout it, either, no matter how much ye screamed." Jack
removed his hand from Will's mouth and grasped his hair instead,
pulling the man's head back and closer to him. "An' believe me,
me
lad - ye be screaming!"

Before Will could form a somewhat coherent sentence, Jack had already
pulled away, leaving him hanging face down on the edge of the bed.

"But to your very good fortune," Jack said as he fell on his back
once more and prepared to go to sleep at last, "Captain Jack Sparrow
has never been compelled to take anyone unwittingly... unwishingly...
no, unwillingly!" Jack sounded almost cheerful when finding the lost
word and added: "Now, that would be the bad kinda pain, mate."

Will stumbled to his feet, gulping for air. The shock started to pass
and was replaced by pure rage.

"You, you... you scared the life out of me!" he finally managed to
shout at Jack. "How could you do that?! How could you after, after
what... Damn you, Jack, damn you to hell!"

With wobbly legs but great determination Will walked towards the
door. However, Jack proved more nimble of the two and blocked his way.

"Whoa, hold your horses!" Jack squeezed himself between Will and the
door. "Look, I'm sorry and all that. I forgot! People forget!"

"Forgot?! That was all we'd been talking about!"

"Aye, but me mind was..." Jack said awkwardly while trying to push
Will backwards. "...on other matters."

But Will wasn't moving. He refused to be treated like a little boy,
like Jack could do what he liked and then simply plead human.

"Obviously!" Will snapped and reached again for the door. "Couldn't
care less about me, now could you? You 'forgot'?! Well, you can
forget about your ship as well, because I'm leaving!"

"Oh no, you don't," Jack said and by giving Will a harder push,
managed to knock him down onto the bed. Raising his hands as a sign
of surrender, he continued more soothingly, "No reason for you to go
wondering round the town and get lost - again. Why, you can have the
bunk all to yourself, and I'll stay way, waaaay over 'ere in the
corner, so you don't have to worry 'bout a thing, mate. Savvy?"

Will watched Jack retreat theatrically into the corner and with
plenty of gesticulating directed at him and intended as reassuring,
the pirate captain sat finally down on the floor.

"Worried about the ship, are we?" Will asked sardonically. "For your
information, I'm here solely because of Elizabeth and I *will* find
her. And if you want your ship, you have no choice but to help me.
Apart from than that, I don't care about you and you certainly don't
give a toss about me, so there. Just go... 'mount' someone and be
done with it."

"Anyone in particular?" asked Jack with the grin in his voice.

"Sod off, Jack," Will muttered as he snuggled up and decided to get
at least a wink of sleep before the night was over.

***


Both men lay silent for a while, Will in the bed and Jack curled up
in his corner.

Yet again it fell on Will to break the silence. Sleep refused to come
and Will's head was crammed with thoughts, most of them rather
disturbing, and all of them revolving around the man in the corner of
the room.

Slowly and not even himself knowing why, he got up, walked warily
towards the sleeping pirate and sat next to him on the floor.

"Missed me already?"

Will was startled by Jack's question. He could have sworn the man was
deep asleep.

"I can't sleep," Will said quietly. "You're an ass, you know that?"

"Agreed. So, you forgive me then, luv?" Jack asked with an evil grin
on his face as he pushed himself to sit up. "I knew you couldn't stay
mad for long."

"Who said I'm not mad?" Will said, but the tone of his voice told
otherwise. As indifferently as he could, Will asked, "So, are you
going to finish the `bloody bedtime story'? And I *don't* want you to
show me this time."

"Now, why would you come all the way across the room, leave your
comfy bed to sit around this filthy floor, if you didn't?" Jack asked
innocently and could hear Will gulp.

It was excruciating enough for Will to admit that Jack truly had a
point, but it was even more difficult to acknowledge the fact that
Jack had been the one to realise it. It had taken Will practically no
time at all to get over his anger after Jack's stupid stunt, which
should have been a clear sign in itself, not to mention that the only
thought in his head since then had been whether or not Jack would do
it again. And the most disturbing thing was that he was increasingly
rooting for 'yes'.

"It's not comfortable," Will managed to say. "The bed."

"I know, mate, always prefer the sturdy floor boards meself," Jack
said seriously, furrowing his brows. "Don't touch a bed if I can
possibly avoid it. An absolute murder those things are, no two ways
about it."

"Shut up, Jack," Will snapped and started to get up. "Should have
known it was a mistake, coming here."

"And why did you come here, young William?" Jack asked as he grabbed
hold of Will's arm, pulling him down again.

"I don't know Jack - why did you go after me?" Will's question caught
Jack completely off-guard. "I know you did, from the tavern, you went
after me. You couldn't possibly have found me otherwise. I was far
from the docks, you said so yourself."

Jack looked uneasy, a look which Will hadn't witnessed before and
thought wholly uncharacteristic of the great pirate captain. But
quickly the embarrassment shifted and Will's arguments had to yield
before Jack's golden smile.

"We're worried about you here, not me and me doings," Jack said
evasively, but still smiling rather smugly. "We now know what Jack
wants, so once more, what might Will want?"

"How should I know?!" Will cried out in distress as the focus shifted
back on him. "I was very nearly... you know, tonight, by those,
those... dogs!" he said finally, remembering the word Jack had
used. "And then you, you scared me half to death, and I should be mad
and scared, but I'm not! I'm not!"

"You want me to be scarier?" Jack asked smilingly. "That shouldn't
present a problem."

"No, it's me! There's something wrong with me!" Will exclaimed,
falling to his knees. "I'm *not* scared of you, I'm *not* afraid that
you'll do it again! Don't you see? I *should* be, Jack! I love
Elizabeth, I'm *not* one of them, I love Elizabeth..."

"Now, of course you do," Jack said soothingly, letting his hand push
the hair gently from Will's face. "I've seen the lass and can't blame
you, mate. But she's not here."

"No, she's not," Will said quietly as his eyes met Jack's. "So, would
you... finish the story? That is, if you want to."

"I think we've already established my sentiments on the subject,"
Jack said, and Will nodded smilingly as he remembered what he had
felt against his buttocks earlier.

"First I must tell you that I..." Will started cautiously.

"You're not going to confess to being a eunuch after all, are you?"
Jack asked anxiously.

"You *are* an ass, Jack. I mean that I haven't ever done... anything.
Ever."

"Never-ever?" Jack asked, amazed. "Never-ever-ever?"

Will shook his head slowly.

"Never been with a lass?"

"No."

"With a fella?"

"No!"

"Not with a sheep?" Jack asked cautiously, as if fearing the answer.

"Fine," Will said, declining to offer Jack any more laughs at his
expense. "Think of me what you will, but that's the truth."

Will felt ashamed and angry at the same time. He had been proud to
wait for Elizabeth, but in front of Jack it all seemed so naive and
even pitiful.

"So, if you don't want to anymore, I'll understand..."

"I'd be honored, luv," came Jack's simple reply, followed by a soft
kiss that took Will completely by surprise. "What sailor wouldn't
enjoy being the first to plow through uncharted waters?"

The second kiss threw Will off-balance and on his back to the floor.
Jack was all over him, nibbling, licking, tasting, sucking, and all
he could do was to open himself to him and let the man navigate him
through these unknown waters.

"Jack," Will hissed between kisses, "this will be the other kind of
pain, right? The good kind?"

Jack mumbled something reminding of 'yes', unable to tear himself
away from Will's lips for much longer. The shirt was almost off,
revealing a long-awaited sight for Jack to admire and explore.

"You sure?" Will asked panting. The pleasure was about to become too
great for his mind to work properly. Soon it would have to give in
for good and let other parts of his body to take over. Jack's mouth
was burning holes into his skin, and Will was seriously beginning to
worry, whether he would simply evaporate if the man were to continue
piercing him.

"Yes!" Jack cried out anguished. "Will you just trust me and shut the
hell up!"

Jack grabbed Will's hand and pulled him up, and before he knew it,
Will was on his stomach on the bed, with Jack behind him, pulling
down two pairs of breeches most vigorously. All Will was able to hear
was Jack's short sigh of triumph when the breeches hit the floor and
the sound of spitting, the meaning of which was left unknown to him
for the time being. Then, without further warning, came the pain.

"Jack!" Will cried. The surprise only added to what felt more like a
piece of sharpened metal than human flesh forcing its way inside him.
So far, the good kind of pain was proving to be worse than any other
suffering Will had ever endured. Through his clenched teeth he
managed to hiss: "You call this *good*?!"

"Wait, just wait," Jack panted into Will's ear. "It be better, just
wait."

Will concentrated on breathing while Jack dug his teeth into his
neck. Their already sweaty bodies were entwined, two skins melting
together. Between kissing and nibbling, Jack reached to pin Will's
arms down above his head, and was pleased to encounter no resistance
from the quietly moaning man. What Jack was unaware of was, that this
was precisely what Will had been dreaming of - Jack taking him over
so completely and mercilessly and he being the most willing booty for
the pirate captain to claim as his.

Just as Will thought the worst was over and his flesh began to give
in to Jack's, the man started moving himself slowly, pushing inch by
inch deeper inside him. The pain returned, although now it appeared
to be getting more tolerable, and with every new push it gradually
changed into sensations even Will had not dared to dream of.

"Oh my god, Jack..." Will murmured as the pain proved to be every bit
as good as Jack had promised it to be. "Jack..."


*****


Will stood by the window, letting the salty wind cool his body and
dry off the sweat from his shirt. The sun was already climbing up in
the sky, but the town of Tortuga was still fast asleep, including
Jack, who snored loudly on his stomach, looking most content.
Slightly disappointed and increasingly annoyed, Will watched him
sleep. That damned drink. Apart from the pounding headache the
blacksmith was also suffering from a bad case of remorse. He
shouldn't have drunk that much, not being used to it the same way the
pirates seemed to be. Or at least this one particular pirate.

Consequently, due to the rather large quantities of ale consumed in
the course of the even, Will had become a victim to the age-old
nuisance of his sex: his drunken mind had been more than willing, but
his equally drunken body had failed him miserably. So now, the only
satisfied man in the room snored blissfully, wasting the precious
time they had left before sailing after Barbossa. And after
Elizabeth.

There were simply too many things roaming around his aching head for
him to even start reconsidering his feelings for Elizabeth. The first
and foremost would be to rescue her and return her to home. All else
remained a blur. She would then be free to marry Norrington, which
was what her father wanted, and fathers usually had the last say in
these matters. And, more importantly, Will wasn't at all certain
whether he wanted to interfere anymore.

A sudden cough from the bed brought Will back from his thoughts.

"Will?" Jack mumbled, still half-asleep. "You're not here. Why aren't
you here?"

"I *am* here," Will said smilingly as he walked to the bed. "I was
just thinking."

"At this hour?" Jack's voice came faintly from underneath the mass of
black hair covering his entire face. "Come back to bed."

"What is it with you and sleeping?" Will asked as he sat down on the
edge of the bed. "That's all you could talk about last night, too."

"Ah, but that was only to shut you up and hence prevent me knob from
bursting."

"Oh, I see." Will chuckled, pleased at the thought of Jack wanting
him as much as he had wanted Jack. But he continued more
seriously: "But what now, Jack? Where do I stand now?"

"You're standing right here in Tortuga with me," Jack explained
sleepily. "Except that you are, in fact, sitting and I'm sleeping,
and you should be sleeping too, with me." The long string of confused
words had obviously strained Jack and after a deep sigh he fell
silent.

"But where does this leave me?" Will continued his musings. "Where's
*my* place after this?"

"Oh, I'm certain you will find your place soon enough, luv," Jack
said assuredly and dug his face deeper into the pillow.

And as Jack moved, Will noticed his shirt shifting, only a little,
but enough to reveal a hint of the bare buttocks underneath.

"Somehow I think I've already found a place," Will said, smiling to
himself.

"A good place, I hope?"

"You tell me," Will replied secretively as he moved closer to Jack
and pulled the man's shirt up some more. "I think my place should be
right here, between this cheek..." Will squeezed Jack's left buttock
gently, and then, moving his hand on the other one, he added: "...and
this one."

"Oh, that be a good place," Jack muttered seemingly more alert. "That
be a very good place."
