An altercation with a woman, and that she was locking herself in a cell for a bit. Not really clear on how long "a bit" was going to be, though when Adam tapped his foot, she managed to look suitably sorry.
But that's all she told him, other than the fact that Jack was there. Which could likely explain why Adam's currently tapping that same foot, but on the shore of the lake, looking out at the ship that's been parked there.

"She dumped her to the floor." A beat. "Name's Elizabeth Swann."

"Oh. She's the one who, uh."

It's mostly a question.
Mostly.

"Not so simple as all that, son." Quietly said.

There's something grimly forboding about the simple words.

Date: 2006-09-14 05:23 am (UTC)"Then it's up to you, mate. But I'll be here."

"After all, we've yet to drink to your children-to-be, savvy?"
A beat.
"All three of them."

...it's a good thing he took the rum.
