[ Finally, the promise of some rum. He was going to grab some anyway, of course, but company makes things infinitely better. He's not above getting more advice, either, he's just particular about how, and a shared pint sounds like far more even ground to him.

There's a twitch in the other's handshake, and one of Jack's brows shifts down while the other remains up, trying to read the ripple of lord knows what. Maybe his new drinking acquaintance is secretly mad. Maybe he's planning on killing him.

Maybe he's heard of Jack, and a slow, small, toothy smile begins to poke out of the moment of confusion. The other's pulling himself together, recognizably so, and that tone of voice is the same one he's heard himself slip into when he talks of Avery. For a brief moment, he's reminded of a young girl in Boston with a pretty face and dressed in pretty silks asking about Charles Vane and Captain Flint and Jack Rackham himself. Still a pretty face in this situation, but less expensive clothing and far more of a strange accent. ]


Heard of me, have you? [ Jury's out on whether or not the punctuated expletive the other's given is a good thing or not. Either way, it's a great day for his ego. ]
