Jack, with a forlorn expression on his face asked Mr. Cotton to take the wheel as he departed to his cabin, as he made his way he grabbed a handful of bottles containing rum in which to drown his sorrows in.

Victoria watched him pass...."Mr. Sparrow....erm..." she trailed off. What did she want to say? Thank you? She let the silence fall between them.

Jack stopped for a moment and turned to face her, he blinked, 'What a beauty...' he thought to himself, "Yes?" he answered.

"I just wanted...well...I wanted to actually...errr...offer you my deepest and humblest thanks for all you have done for me. You will be greatly rewarded." She wished she hadn't put in the last part. It made her feel like a possession, let alone that she made out that he was some charity case.

He looked down for a moment, taking a deep breath. There was a long pause of silence before he looked back up at her and said, "Come join me.." he nodded his head behind him and started making his way to his cabin.

Victoria nodded sharply and followed behind with a swish of her elegant yet somewhat grubby dress, following him into the darkness of the cabin.

As they entered, Jack widened the door open and sat himself down, immediately opening one of the bottles and taking huge gulps. He patted the space the chair opposite him and offered her some rum.

Victoria frowned at the offer of rum. She sat opposite him, back straight, hands folded in her lap. She tilted her head a little and asked quietly..."So...where are you from Mr. Sparrow?"

Jack gave a little half smile at her, her ladylike manners amused him but he played along with the music set, "Around, here and there, everywhere, the seven seas..." he said with a shrug, "And what about you m'lady?" he asked as he took another swig of his beloved rum.

She smiled tensely as he drank some more, feeling that perhaps she should relax in this man's company. "I am the daughter of the Duke of Norfolk...in England. I was sent to Naples to negotiate marriage with the English Ambassador for the French court...but things didn't quite go to plan."

Jack let out a laugh, "Oooooh, of course, of course..." he brought the bottle to his lips but laughed again before taking another sip.

Her face fell slightly. "I suppose I was the laughing stock of the seas then?" She flushed a little in anger and embarrassment.

He looked at her for a moment, then shook his head, "I didn't mean it like that..." he sniffed and rubbed his nose, "Really...just amused me...'negotiate marriage' and daughter of a Duke...no wonder..." he smiled a little again.

"I meant the whole kidnapping and ransom affair Mister Sparrow" she sniffed, "Being the daughter of a Duke has it's....disadvantages." She turned away to look around the small little room the couple were sat in.

Frowning a little, he tilted his head at her, "It's alright...you're alright, I'll keep you safe...I promise..." he said sincerely, 'like you kept your friend safe eh Sparrow?' he thought to himself angrily.
