*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"Will?"

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"Yes Elizabeth?" *Distracted*

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"Stop that." *Annoyed*

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"Hmm...? What?" *Still distracted*

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"Will, can you please stop the taping?"

"Tapping? What tapping?" *Confused*

"You have the habit of tapping your fingers when you read. It can
become quite annoying."

"Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't realize. I'll stop." *Embarrassed*

"Thank you." *Pleased*

*Pause*

"That's it?!" *Indignant*

"Huh? What?" *Surprised*

"Excuse me?" *Startled*

"All Will get's is a warning. Not even a threat. While I get attacked.
With tongs." *Indignant*

"Tongs?" *Squeaks*

"You wouldn't stop."

"Stop what?"

"I was just having me a bit of fun. You didn't have to go ruin it."

"Fun? What kind of fun?" *Squeaks*

"I did when you wouldn't stop. It was bugging me."

"Stop what?" *Annoyed*

"You weren't protesting when I started."

"Protesting what? Will you two stop ignoring me?" *Angry*

"I thought it was cute when you started. But it got extremely
aggravating, very quickly."

*Pause*

"You thought what was cute?"

"Cute? I don't _do_ cute. I'm a bloody pirate, not some... some....
some....eh..."

*Laughter*

"Some... what?" *Curious*

"I forgot what I was going to say. And stop laughing, Will!" *Petulant*

"Your doing it again, Jack."

"Doing what?"

"Don't you two leave me out of the conversation again!" *Pouting*

"So is she."

"Fine. Just ignore me. I'm just feeding and housing you."

"What's she doing that I'm doing?"

"That thing."

"What thing?"

"The lip thing." *Annoyed*

"What lip thing?!" *Confused*

"Don't you dare even insinuate that again." *Scandalized*

"Don't ever let it be said that I a mere blacksmith, would ever accuse
the brilliant Captain Jack Sparrow of...dare I say it...pouting." *Over
dramatized* *Mocking*

"I do _not_ pout!" *Scandalized*

"Damn right. And I don't either." *Agreeing*

"You both are."

"I am not." *Simultaneous*

"Actually, I hate to say this Elizabeth, but Mr. Turner's correct."
*Slightly bored*

"Hey! What about me?!" *Indignant*

"Like I care about what a pirate like yourself thinks?"

"Well I never." *Offended*

"Your doing that again, too." *Distracted tone*

*Indignant sputtering*

"Don't start that again, Will. Just tell me and try not to leave me out
of the conversation again." *Annoyed*

"Nothing really. Just something Jack was doing last night."

"And just what was Mr. Sparrow doing last night?" *Curious*

"That's _Captain_ Jack Sparrow."

"Nothing that wasn't as childish as his usual." *Distracted*

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"I'm not a child."

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"I know, I know, your _Captain_ Jack Sparrow. Get over yourself
already." *Distracted*

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"Well I never." *Huffy*

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"Stop imitating Norrington as well."

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"What was Jack doing Will." *Angry*

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

"He was...Mmph." *Muffled*

"Now ye wouldn't be saying anything that would ruin ol' Jack's
reputation would you?" *Threatening whisper*

"Mr. Sparrow! Unhand Mr. Turner at once." *Stuffy*

"Jack!" *Startled*

"Ump!"

"That was rude Jack." *Angry*

"Well ye didn't have to elbow me lad." *Annoyed*

"If you are going to act like a child I should treat you like one."

"I pity your child then if you would threaten them with tongs!"

"That was _all_ for you Jack."

"Why is it that everyone always forgets the Captain. It's always, Jack,
or Sparrow, never Captain Jack Sparrow." *Mutters*

"Will just tell me what the thing with the tongs is before something
else comes up!"

"I used tongs on the bed."

"What does the bed have to do with anything?" *Startled*

"Fine then just ruin me reputation. See if I care." *Mutters in
disgust*

"He was jumping on the bed and wouldn't stop. So I stopped him."

"With _tongs_!?"

"It's better not to think about it."

"Yer just evil lad. Ye know that?"

"Well according to you and Elizabeth I'm a pirate, so I guess I would
have to be evil."

"If it is not one thing with you Mr. Turner, it is the other."

"Indeed." *Pause* "Wait a second... who did I just agree with?!"
*Horrified*

"Me." *Pleased*

"That's new. Anyway here you go Elizabeth. I've finished reading it."

"So what do you think?" *Querying*

"I think that you're insane. But that's not new, so I'll just say that
it's interesting."

"I am not insane." *Indignant*

"Elizabeth, I have known you since we were ten. The entire time you
have been obsessed with pirates. And not in a healthy way. So yes, I
can rightly say that you are insane."

*Silence*

"I do _not_ look like that." *Indignant*

"There's a difference between a man and a woman pouting. But it's still
close enough."

"I've never been so insulted."

"Jack, I have seen you called a woman by a sober priest, in broad
daylight, while shirtless. I am just saying that you look feminine when
you get that look. A total poof, but feminine."

"Really?" *Surprised*

"I thought we agreed never to talk about that lad."

"You agreed, I just laughed."

*Pause*

"Maybe if he shaved."

"Commodore!"

*Laughter*

"Why did I agree to come here!"

"Because you accepted my invitation to spend the holidays here."

"Oh, right. Damn Lizzy and her logic." *Mutters*

*Laughter*

"And will you stop laughing, lad! It's not that funny." *Pause* "I get
no respect" *Mutters* "Fine, fine, I'll have a look see at this
'novel.'" *Exasperated*

"NO!" *Horrified*

"Come on, Lizzy. Ye let the lad read it."

"Well... He's read my writing before... he knows what to expect."

*Pause*

"It's terrible isn't it."

"Actually it's surprisingly good. I do _not_ want to know where she
get's the information, or even the idea's from though."

*Pause*

"Know I really want to read it. Come on Lizzy! Let yer ol' friend
Captain Jack Sparrow have a look see."

"No!"

"Ah, come on. I won't poke fun." *Whining*

"That is not it."

*Snorts* "That's for sure."

"What's that supposed to mean, William Turner." *Huffy*

"Oooo....she used your full name." *Simultaneous*

*Stunned silence*

"Did they just..."

"Uh-huh."

"Together?"

"Uh-huh."

*Embarrassed silence*

"Come on, Lizzy!"

"Don't start that again. Especially after saying the exact same thing
as Commodore Norrington, at the exact same time."

"Come now, lass. That was an accident. Ye know that. It was a little to
soon for us."

*Silence*

"It was something I said wasn't it?" *Confused*

"This is going to be a long day. And we just finished breakfast."
*Mutters*
