[Jack hadn't gotten quite a clear enough look at the drawing before he blurts out]

Joyce?!

[this is startling for two reasons.

1 - she didn't realize there was anything for people to blurt out to.

2 - she hasn't actually been able to speak to Jack since Buffy told her what had happened.]

Jack?

[it's then that she realizes the filter is broken, but it's a small thought, quickly pushed aside at the fact of who she's actually talking to.]

Jilly?

[Well this conversation was going splendidly, wasn't it.]

[....moving on]

I haven't heard from you since-

[but those were dangerous waters and she'd rather know how he was doing before she braved them. She hesitates, before trying again]

Was that...about the Joanna Joyce?

Nothing, nothing! She's....nothing, darling. The Joanna Joyce, you'll be happy and glad to know, is resting at anchor and all is right with the world.

Love your drawings, Jilly.

I'm very happy to hear that. [though there's skepticism in her voice. It felt...off] Both thats.

I wasn't really planning on making it public. Filters just...aren't my strong suit.

[He is somewhat now recovered, thank you.]

Art. Art is your strong suit. And beauty and sweetness as well. One day I'll have to put a challenge to you.

[a laugh] I can agree with the art.

What kind of challenge?

Dunno...perhaps I'll ask you to paint a mermaid.

[Clearly this is a very big challenge.]

I could certainly give it my best effort.

I already know you can capture the heart and majesty and spirit of one Captain Jack Sparrow, so it would have to be a subject much more mysterious-er and terrifying.

A mermaid in love with a sailor....

Terrifying? I never thought of mermaids as frightening.

Possibly sad, though. That sounds like the beginning of a tragedy. [not to mention a well-known fairy tale]

Oh so very sad and tragical, that tale.

We never did find Philip's body...

You knew a sailor who loved a mermaid?

He wasn't a proper sailor, Miss Jilly. Philip was a ministerial sort. Missionary. Tried to win hearts and souls and minds to God among the foulest and most wretched of the sea. That sort.

Aye--and she loved him back, from what I could see.

If she loved him back...there's no way to make it work?
