Evelyn smiled back at Will, "Mornin' sunshine."
Rory pulled up a chair next to her. Evelyn grinned and kissed him on the cheek, "Look at you..." she whispered. He smiled and put a hand on her knee.
~~
Jack smiled and nodded a little, "Oh I'm good." He took her hand and kissed it before taking it as they made their way to the dining room.
~~
Ricardo and Eliana walked in together, talking about next week's meeting. "Morning everyone." Ricardo smiled charmingly and took a seat.
Carlos came in after them, and glanced at Evelyn before sitting at the table and taking a piece of bread.

Ricardo's entrance was greeted with a chorus of "Good Morning" from the entire gathering of people before they ate breakfast. Will quietly ate his bread, Victoria nibbled at some fruit, all deep in thought and pondering on what to do before they undoubtedly had to fight...

There was an uncomfortable silence as they all ate. Awkward, weak smiles, the sound of silver against china...
Jack coughed a little, "Mr. Gibbs left this morning to check on stocks, 'e says that both ships are almost as good as new."
Evelyn nodded, "Mmm..." she swallowed down her food, "That's er...that's grand."

Will glanced around quietly then said to Evelyn...
"Do you want me to go and make sure we have all we need on board?"

Evelyn smiled, "Sure, that'd be great Will, thanks."
Given the circumstances, they'd be leaving soon. And heaven knows what will happen back upon the seas. There was a heavy tension in the room as they all felt their own burdens, their fears, pushing down on them.

Will stood and began to leave, nodding politely to their hosts. He headed for the front door, half glad to have something to distract him. He was looking forward to the pleasant walk to the docks...
Victoria glanced at Jack...
"We'll be sailing soon?" she asked him quietly, tilting her head as she waited for his reply. Much as she adored him, the prospect of going back to sea so soon was one she wasn't entirely looking forward to...

Jack nodded, "Looks that way, love." He frowned a little as he realised he didn't actually know what was at hand. Where were they even going?
~~
In the intervening time, Davy Jones had sailed along the turbent waters of the River Styx. Beyond the ninth gate, flames and eternal torture awaited Frederick de Bourbon. He was left at his final destination. Hell.

Sulking aboard the Flying Dutchman, Frederick examined the bloody wound gaping in his groin, and tenderly touched the bullet hole in his head. Noticing one of the hideous crew members of the ship watching him, he glared and said loudly...
"Well, I don't know what you think your doing. My soul may be damned, but it doesn't belong to you...and if everything I know is true...you'll be the ones in hell..."
He might be dead, but he certainly didn't stop him from being just as nasty as when he was alive.
~~
Meanwhile, at the docks, Will made sure there was enough food, drink and ammunition on board the Emerald Liberty, supervising as crates and barrels and bundles of rope, cannon balls and other paraphernalia were loaded aboard.

Davy Jones lifted an eyebrow, "Yer goin' ta hell you filthy b*stard. And you will not speak to me in that tone. You think you know what hell is? Take another look."
A blast of sweltering heat hit against them as they descended into the abyss below. Frederick had much to shout about.
~~
Evelyn walked aboard her ship with Morela, discussing their mutual interest in independence and their misfortunes with men. Carlos followed behind, bringing a wooden trunk with him, which had a bolt keeping it securely locked.

Spinning around at the approaching voices, Will flashed the two women a dashing smile and gave an exaggerated bow...
"Ladies...I mean Captain..." he gave Evelyn another cheeky grin just for her,
"Everything is ready, repairs are nearly done and the crew are resting at a nearby tavern before we sail...all is ship shape." He nodded and laughed lightly at his pun. He glanced curiously at the chest behind the two beauties and raised an eyebrow questioningly...
~~
Meanwhile, back at the mansion, Victoria sat peacefully in the garden, staring out into the distance at the twinkling sea...

Morela smiled back, "Good morning William." she gave Evelyn a wink and followed her brother as they went below deck. Carlos gave Evelyn a lingering gaze before carrying on.
Evelyn nodded to him, "Well, that's grand, good work Turner." Alex walked by with drinking stock, and muttered with a scoff, "Puppy..." Evelyn rolled her eyes, and gave Will a smile, "So...jealousy eh? I wouldn't have thought it to be honest."
~~
Jack approached Victoria, "Mornin' princess, come on then, we're heading back to the Pearl. I even have a little surprise for you." he gave her a wink, and grinned broadly.

Will laughed.
"Honestly? I thought it was fairly obvious. I suppose I have always been envious of the fortunes of others. Yet, there are far worse sins to commit though..."
He gave her a smouldering look and took her hand gently...
"Lust? Who'd have guessed?" he drawled sarcastically. He felt her warm weather beaten palms...
"You have always been a hot blooded woman?" he queried, tilting his head to the side as he waited for her reply...
~~
Victoria glanced up, her dark eyes shining. She flashed Jack a smile...
"Oh really...?" she asked, pretending to be half interested. She didn't stand, or move, "What's that then Captain?"

Evelyn's lip curled into a wicked smile. "What can I say...?" she leaned closer and whispered into his ear, "I've an acquired taste, an' yer wouldn't believe how fantastic an' utterly addictive it is..." Her lip brushed against his earlobe and she drew back, this time with seriousness, she added, "Some time ago...yer would've found me to be very different. But things change, stuff happens y'know? That's life. And ain't it a b*tch?" she smiled a little.
~~
Jack nodded, "Oh yes, I'm quite sure you'll be delighted, love." They made their way to the ship. "It's not much, really, but you'll like it."

Nodding gravely, Will watched her carefully, his breathing a little heavier...
"It certainly is." He kissed her hand gently and let it fall to her side.
"I could show you love Evelyn...perhaps that way we can save our souls..." he turned away with a smile and headed back to the dock to round up the crew...
~~
Victoria followed him, not saying much. Finding herself back at the Pearl with Jack, she was torn between happiness...being with the man she loved, and the familiar sorrow of leaving land which she hadn't realised she'd missed until she left it.
"Well then..." she said expectantly, glancing around until her eyes met Jack's..."What is this surprise?"

Evelyn watched him go. There was a lump in her throat, show her...love? She sighed deeply. It really was a typical situation. Everytime she refused, it would find her once more...
~~
Jack lead her below deck, he took her hand and walked towards the cabins. He swung back the door to a room by his quarters to reveal a bedroom, decorated with portraits and rugs..."It's your's..."
