potc_dogwatch yesterday was to write a memory, in character. Here's mine, which is also a reply to the drabble challenge at Black Pearl Sails...
~ The Right Words ~
"No! NOT GOOD!" Bloody hell, that's all I could manage to get out when I woke to the smell of smoke, followed by the sight of Lizzie burning all that beautiful rum – and everything else. Devious wench. I knew she was spirited, and hot-at-hand, but to risk both our lives on such a wager?
I could've murdered her! Which she knew, though she didn't let on, not then.
Not 'til I came back up the beach to her, Norrington's lot trailin' behind. She didn't gloat, looked a bit sick, actually, and says, "I had to, Jack. Thank you for not shooting me."
Well, I couldn't deny she'd saved us, so I just told her, "Don't mention it, love," and she smiled again.
Bloody, beautiful pirate.
