Drabble: The Right Words

[dwgm]

A hundred words, including the title, for the current potc100 challenge, "Farewell"...

~ The Right Words ~

What sort of farewell was suitable for such an occasion? Parting from one who was not only a recent comrade-in-arms, but the son of an old friend. One who'd given all in an effort to do right by ol' Jack! A bit startling, that. Not precisely unprecedented, but... unusual. A rarity. Something of an oddity. But that was a Turner for you. Came through, in the end, regardless of the sacrifice involved. Profound thanks were certainly in order -- but later. When he wasn't so rushed. A briefer encomium would have to suffice:

"Will... nice hat!"

So nice! That line had always sparked a bit of curiosity in me - because, after all, Will certainly deserved more! Very nice job of explaning it.

Thanks! I'm sure Jack would've said all that was proper if Norrington and his little battalion of Marines hadn't been hovering on the brink of foiling his escape. As it was, he said the first thing that came to mind. That hat was pretty special. ;)

You don't happen to have a particular fondness for that hat, do you? ;)
