Drabble: Sore Eyes (Heroes/PotC)
I'm blaming this one all on blackcurrant. Consider it as a follow up to "Worldly Appetites", although in canon, it takes place significantly after "Four Months Later".
Takezo Kensei. Jack Sparrow. What happens in Singapore, stays in Singapore. (More to come, hopefully.)
Sore Eyes
As far as drinking partners go, he isn't picky. (No, really, he isn't.) But if it is a legend you are after, well then the circumstances are a bit uninspiring, aren't they?
Pirate. Kaizoku. Wolves of the sea.
The man who can find that which you want most.
A rogue by any other name could not smell any worse than this swaying, brine-pickled specimen pronouncing itself, with an enormous sweep of its battered tricorne, insalubrious propositions like crooked pennies in the dark eyes:
Captain Jack Sparrow, lad, remember that. And that there is the Pearl.
The name is not a problem, the mercenary thinks to himself a little sourly. It's the bearer that is not living up to expectations.
