"If it doesn't work, we go through with the accord." I whispered to him, "But only when Elizabeth is safe." He nodded. Noticing Barbossa wasn't watching, he pushed his hand close to mine and pressed something to my fingers.

"First thing I'm going to do when we get back to the Pearl is name you first mate." He promised. I looked at him in surprise,
"I thought you were joking." He smirked,
"Luv, you're a born pirate. It's got to be in your blood." I felt my face flush at the compliment.
"Alright, but you have to help with the cleaning up and repairing the poor girl. She looks like she belongs on the seafloor right now."
"You don't have to tell me twice." He chuckled and walked away.
