One spring evening, Elizabeth found herself sitting beside Captain Teague, mug of tea perched upon a belly swollen with the fruits of her months-ago wedding night with Will.
Watching Shipwreck's children gambol around an improvised Maypole, she asked, "Do pirates observe holidays?"
He turned his inscrutable face- still striking, like a wizened version of Jack's- toward her. "Y'know we do, same as most."
"No, I mean uniquely pirate ones…"
"Aye," he rasped. "Fer one, there be Code Day, honourin' Morgan an' Bartholomew…"
"Oh," Elizabeth brightened with interest. "When's that?"
The Keeper smiled, fingering his pistol. "Whatever day I says 'tis!"
