Drabble: "Sharp"

[dwgm]

Wow, it's been a while since I posted any fic. Here's a drabble for the 'Eye' challenge, which was actually last week's at Black Pearl Sails.



~ Sharp ~

"Keep a sharp eye!"

A sharp eye?! Will stared after Sparrow, who swayed away to where the swinish newcomer, Joshamee Gibbs, was seated. The man seemed oddly familiar, but Will didn't trust him or Sparrow an inch.

Nor any of this company, for that matter. Raucous. Ill bred. Violent. Not a decent soul amongst them.

Sparrow and Gibbs hunched over their tankards, intent on mischief, while vice roiled around them.

The Faithful Bride. Someone's idea of a jest?

He'd have to have a dozen sharp eyes! A hundred!

Well, he'd a sharp sword. That would have to suffice.

Bloody pirates.

Poor Will would need to be Argus-eyed to catch all the threatening vices in that den of iniquity! :D I like his decision to depend on his sharp sword instead. That really sums up Will's gut reaction. Fight first. Look later. Poor dear William. And great drabble.

Happy Thanksgiving, missy! I hope all is well with you.

Very happy you enjoyed the drabble. Den of iniquity, indeed. Will might be hot-at-hand, but he has reason, doesn't he? And there is a distressing lack of communication that exacerbates the problem.

Very happy you enjoyed this!
