There was a familiar feeling in the air. Elizabeth couldn't quite name it, but the adrenaline in her veins was telling her one thing: there was an adventure in the making here. It wasn't as appealing as it had been before she was supposed to be marrying Will, but...
A part of her admitted she was a little excited, at least.
"Heartless," Elizabeth repeated slowly, "Those are the black monsters?" She had never known them to have a name. People called them devils, monsters, beasts, but never by a proper name. Somehow, it fit. "I don't know if anywhere is safe, but anything is better than Port Royal at this moment."
"We can look for this Keyblade and the one who can use it once we get out of here. I don't want to stay here any longer than we have." Elizabeth sighed and risked a glance back in the direction of the mansion before looking back at the men before her. There were so many things she didn't understand... Keyblade, Heartless... but as long as they got away and were going in the general direction of saving what was left, it would have to be okay.
Jack's explanation seemed sketchy, even to Will. It wasn't that it didn't sound impressive. It was simply that... he had heard the captain use the same sort of descriptions before. None of it was that concrete or convincing.
Judging by Norrington's expression and question, he felt the same way. Though when Touma chimed in, Will was thrown for a loop. He had a lot more details about the Keyblade - and the fact that it would get rid of the Heartless - and that there existed a person who knew how to use it - was reason for excitement.
Noticing that Elizabeth was brimming with the same enthusiasm, Will smiled and turned to Touma. "I agree. So long as we get out of here and hopefully to a place where we can find out more about this Keyblade and the person who uses it..." Well, really, what were the waiting for? He and Elizabeth were going to go, at least. He didn't know what the other two thought about the matter.
Whether or not the whole charade was convincing was one thing he did not want any of them to dwell on, which it already seemed that they had started to. The pirate would be concerned a little later on whether he lost his edge in dishonesty later, but for now the goal was set. Unfortunately even the lad who was so full of information was not full of the location of the key.
Instead of answering questions or participating in vague information about the key he began to tip-toe his way to the ship. If they ‘ere to get out of there, best not left lollygagging around and wait for inkies, now deemed “heartless” to catch up and be heartless to them.
From what he’d seen, heartless be more merciful than men by getting rid of the people quickly-marriage seemed a lot more heartless in Jack’s opinion. Years spent withering away a mans soul.. But that was another subject entirely.
He worked his way out of the action (no doubt someone noticed him by now, he didn’t claim to be all that sly or stealthy) and tried to work his way back into the dizzying air vessel.
Keyblade, Hollow Bastion, Heartless... Words that were supposed to make sense but sounded like snippets out of fantastical yet completely unfamiliar stories instead. The existence of a legendary unknown wielder of that Keyblade only added to that effect. They were truly grasping at straws, if they went on their search based on this sort of information.
Norrington fought back the urge to voice just that. At the very least, Touma's information was something, he had to admit that. And if this 'Hollow Bastion' of his was a real location, it was possible that more solid facts would be found there.
However, while they were standing here, it appeared that a certain pirate was already trying to slip away again. Norrington glanced into Jack's direction as he made his way back on board the flying ship.
"I suggest we set out," he said, turning to the others again for a moment, "before 'Captain' Sparrow has any ideas that involve leaving with that ship, alone."
Narrowing his eyes at where Jack was trying - yet again - to 'borrow' Tenku, Touma headed towards his ship himself. "Good idea." He turned back to face the others. "Was there anything you wanted to take from this place? I don't know when we'll make it back to Port Royal."
Then something else came to mind, something that reminded Touma that these people weren't exactly used to the technology that he had. "Oh, and try not to touch any of the controls until you learn what they do. It's a little more...advanced than what you're used to."
Idly, he wondered what they would think of his laptop. He hoped they wouldn't try to destroy it for being posessed by a demon or something. Though he had backup copies of everything on the ship's computer, not having his laptop would be very limiting, and he would hate to go back home just to get a new one.
"Finally," Elizabeth muttered, perhaps a bit louder than she intended. She eyed Jack momentarily before returning her attention back to those in front of her. She looked down at herself.
Oh, right. She was still in her nightclothes. Looking back up at the town, she considered perhaps trying to find something in the abandoned homes. Then again, she hardly imagined she would fit into that ship wearing several skirts, and by the time she found something in her size, her father may catch them. So she kept her mouth shut and shook her head. "I've got all I need."
She had left with less, after all. This time, she had Will by her side.
A part of her admitted she was a little excited, at least.
