Oh, lol! That was funny, and it's a very likely scene, it feels as if like it would fit right into the movie. Jack is admirably patient, considering how stubborn Will is, and his reasoning is flawless. I completely understand why Elizabeth acted the way she did, even though I, personally, prefer Norrington, but that's an entirely different matter ;-) Some favourite bits...
A pox on all honour! I hope it’s not contagious.
Jack groaned. Bill, Bill. You should have let me make a pirate of him. It couldn’t possibly have been any worse than this.
The Governor looks at me as if I were an accessory to the furniture.
Have either of you ever considered whether she enjoys the life she’s always had? Very good question, and all that Jack says about Elizabeth is very true, I think. I really like that, too.
Yay! You enjoyed my little added scene. Jack is very patient, but Will is perhaps more constrained by his upbringing than his is stubborn. After all, he really didn't know how Elizabeth came to be engaged to Norrington. And then he's spent his whole life trying to do what he's told, be what is expected of him, behave properly, and here is this pirate asking him to toss all that out the window. Will's got to be pretty floored by the concept that such behaviour is even possible let alone praiseworthy. The arguments he gives Jack for why Norrington would be the better matrimonial prize than him are all the ones so many people use to split Will and Elizabeth up. They are logical ones, except they do not take into consideration the human heart. If Elizabeth loves Will, that leaves Norrington for you--and Jack for me. LOL

Hmm. Yes, that is probably true, considering his position in society, and to think that she could truly love him would, of course, be impossible, except in his wildest imaginations. And I agree with the idea that Jack would've wanted to take Bill's son on, and Bill refusing it, it seems logical. But, you're taking Jack? Now, wait a minute... ;-)
Even locked here in the brig, Will looked less imprisoned than he had when they'd first begun this little adventure. Oooh, shiny! Pretty!
Jack had sent him up with the instructions that he wasn't to come down until he'd figured out why he'd been ordered up there. Marvelous! I love the ideas you find swimming around inside Jack's head. (And it should go without saying that I thoroughly enjoyed the little light painting that began that paragraph.)
Could the boy really be that oblivious? Apparently so. That had been real anguish in his voice. Hmmmm... guess that's why Jack calls him “whelp.”
“Why embroidery floss?” he asked Jack. “Because it was the most ridiculous item I could think of,” Hee! The stitcher in me is doing some serious bouncing here! :)
And now we know how Will was able to tell Elizabeth that he loves her - hooray for Jack's prodding. Great scene. And the title snippet is wonderful.
More comments from thou! Wonderful! Thank you so much.
Oooh, shiny! Pretty! The increasingly un-starched blacksmith is looking very pretty indeed in PotC2!
I love the ideas you find swimming around inside Jack's head. Jack's head is a marvelous place to swim! Equal parts madness and brilliance.
(And it should go without saying that I thoroughly enjoyed the little light painting that began that paragraph.) Ah yes! My light fan. You're going to condition me to look for places I can add light to my stories. Unfortunately, "Crossing" is in such bad weather that all I can describe is gloom and doom. No light at all.
guess that's why Jack calls him “whelp.” The poor kid has had to bring himself up. He really needs a mentor!
The stitcher in me is doing some serious bouncing here! I'm afraid no one would want to see anything I stitched, but I'm glad to have provided some entertainment for an expert.
And now we know how Will was able to tell Elizabeth that he loves her Yes, Will won't waste that next opportune moment. It's funny how

Some storms do have lovely lightning, and sunset light against black clouds is beautiful. And the light that breaks between squalling clouds is the prettiest thing going. But I've just stuck my poor little pirates in a grizzly, rainy, windy day without even a lightning bolt or two to liven things up!

And, of course, the embroidery floss :-)
