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!"

Jack was talking a mile a minute, whatever nonsense came to his head, to keep them from coming to the conclusion that he'd risk death and jump.

Well, that's true -- they probably didn't expect him to jump. Hadn't thought about that (lately) as it seems like such a crazy Jackish thing to do and why wouldn't they think so too?

Boo for lack of time -- and inspiration! ACK! We are all biting our nails waiting for Jack's trap to spring. Have some tea. Watch CotBP when you get a chance.

Or a little more Kidnap Caper wouldn't come amiss...
