Barbossa sits at what has quickly become his usual spot by the lake, on a large flat rock from which he gets a good view of the Pearl. This time, though, he's busy with something entirely different, as he has occasionally been for the last few days. He holds a small, palm-sized leather-bound book in one hand and seems to be reading backwards

Gibbs is navigating his way along the shore when he spots Barbossa. for the moment, he makes himself less than visible (figuratively speaking) as to avoid offering any hint of where the Pearl. But after covering his tracks, he once again emerges. Even if he's not sure he wants to talk to Jack's betrayer.

Eventually, he notices Gibbs and nods, amiably enough.

"Good day, mr Gibbs. Glad you came along at just this moment. We are definitely going to Singapore as soon as that blasted door reappears. And your help will come in handy in that trip."

He seems pleased enough. Not even his usual faint amusement at how stupid the world at large is, but really satisfied with how things are.

"Y' mentioned that before. If you don't mind me asking, why would we want to travel all that way?" In for a penny...

"Just the kind of direct, to the point question I was expecting from a man like you, mr Gibbs. And if you care to come a tad closer, I will epxlain. Oh, and stop worrying about the Pearl. I have no interest at all in a ship lacking its soul."

He nods and waves the other pirate over.
