Drabble: 'Utterly Deceptive Twaddlespeak'

[dwgm]

With thanks to hereswith and ladymora for suggestions, a drabble for the potc100 prompt...



~ Utterly Deceptive Twaddlespeak ~

Smoking pistol in one hand and chain-shot gripped in the other, the round ends hanging obscenely between his spread legs, Barbossa was an impressive figure atop that table. The report had been deafening in the crowded room, effectively affecting a halt in the current instance of Pirate Politics. Hector was quite the showman. But what the devil was he blathering on about now?

"It was the first court what imprisoned Calypso, and we will be the ones to set her free, and in her gratitude she will see fit to grant us boons!"

Calypso? No bloody guarantees there. Jack had other plans, in any case.

"Whose boons? Your boons?" Jack demanded, with a purposely incredulous leer.

He'd show old Hector what real boons was like.

There were a lot of boons in that room, but Hector and Jack had the most.

Of course, Jack is right: I'm still amazed Calypso allowed Hector to reach the end credits still apparently in possession of his boons.

Yes, that's a good point.
