dwgmThis is in reply to the current challenge at Black Pearl Library, a "missing scene" from before CotBP starts, with Groves, Will, and Estrella. Many thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hereswith for looking it over!
~ Fine Men ~
The clash of swords rang in the still, humid air, startling... frightening.... then an irresistible lure. Estrella peeked into the clearing from the shadows of the trees and her eyes widened. Lieutenant Groves and that lovely Will Turner at swordplay!
They were both in shirtsleeves, gleaming, gay, and intent on the task at hand, but it was soon evident that Will was every bit the master here, and him only a blacksmith! Lieutenant Groves didn't seem to mind, though. On the contrary, he was laughing when he yielded at last to a clever gambit, and shook Will's hand with hearty affection. Ah, what a handsome pair, fine men both!
Estrella slipped away, before they should become aware of her, and hurried home with a smirk on her face. Oh, Miss Elizabeth would be green and no mistake! That'd teach her to lie abed so late on market day!
