*Squeak* *Thump*

"Jack?"

*Squeak* *Thump*

" Aye?"

*Squeak* *Thump*

"Stop that."

*Squeak* *Thump*

"Stop what?"

*Squeak* *Thump*

"That!"

*Pause*

"This?"

*Squeak* *Thump*

"YES!"

"But I like doing that."

"Well, I don't like you doing that!"

"Why not?"

"Because."

*Squeak* *Thump*

"I said stop that!"

*Squeak* *Thump*

"Give me a good reason and mayhap I will."

*Squeak* *Thump*

"Jaaack..." *Warning tone*

*Squeak* *Thump*

"Yesss...?" *Mocking tone*

*Squeak* *Thump*

"If you don't stop I remove it."

*Squeak* *Thump*

"That... could be interesting."

*Squeak* *Thump*

"With tongs?"

*Pause*

"You wouldn't!"

"Try me." *Deadpan*

*Squeak* *Thump*

"Jack?"

*Squeak* *Thump*

"Aye, Will?"

*Squeak* *Thump*

"Don't say I didn't warn you." *Resigned*

*Squeak* *Thump*

"What's that supposed to mean?" *Indignant*

*Squeak* *Thump*

"You'll see soon enough."

*Squeak* *Thump*

"Is that a threat?"

*Squeak* *Thump*

"No, just a prediction."

*Squeak* *Clink* *Crash*

*Pause*

"Don't say it lad." *Petulant*

"Say what?" *Curious*

"That."

"What?"

"You know! That!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about Jack."

"Yes, you do."

"No, I don't."

*Pause*

"Fine, you can say it."

"I told you so." *Smug*

*Sigh* "Ye didn't have to sound so smug."

"Yes, I do."

"But still..."

"Jack? That's what you get for doing flips on the bed."

"But I was bored."

"So, you decided to jump on the bed?" *Disbelieving*

"Well, you were ignoring me. So, I had to entertain meself. And the bed
was there, and looking oh, so fine, just begging to be... leapt upon."

*Put upon sigh* "You are such a child sometimes Jack."

*Silence*

"Jack?"

"What?"

"Stop that."

"Stop what?"

"That!"

"That?"

"Yes! That!"

"What that?"

"The lip thing."

"What lip thing?"

"With the one... sticking out."

"What's sticking out?"

"Jack!" *Scandalized*

"What?"

"Stop pouting!"

"I am not pouting." *Indignant*

"Jack? I grew up with Elizabeth."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"It means, I know pouting when I see it."

"Well, I never." *Scandalized*

"Now, you just sound like Norrington."

"WHAT!?" *Squawk*

"You sound like Norrington."

"I do not!"

"Yes, you do. I have known Norrington just as long as I have known
Elizabeth."

"Still, you have no idea what yer accusing me of, lad."

"Oh, I think I have some idea." *Smug*

"Just what is that supposed to mean, lad?"

"Nothing..." *Amused*

"Now, I know yer accusing me of something."

"And just what would that be?"

"That's what I'm asking ye, lad!"

"I have no idea what you might be insinuating that I am insinuating.
Because, Jack, quite frankly I'm not insinuating anything, except that
you're insinuating that I'm insinuating something."

*Silence*

"Jack?"

"What?"

"I asked you to stop that already."

"Stop what?"

"Aren't we going in a circle?"

"What are you insinuating?"

*Annoyed groan* *Thump*

"Will, me lad, are you alright?"

*Muffled* "Except that I'm spending my night with you..."

"So what _are_ you insinuating?"

"Jack?"

"Take a blanket and go to sleep."

"But..."

"No buts. Now."

"Fine, fine."

*Shuffling*

"Not the bed, Jack."

"But where, then?"

"Floor."

*Shuffle* *Shuffle*

*Pause*

"Will?"

"What?" *Annoyed*

"I'm bored."

"Jack?"

"Yes, me lad?"

"That's what got you sleeping on the floor in the first place."
*muttered* "Why did I agree to share a room with him?"

"Ye know ye love me, lad."

*Silence*

"Me lad?"

*Silence*

"Will?"

*Silence*

"William?" *Worried*

*Silence*

"William Turner?" *Really worried*

"Shut up, lay still, and go to sleep."
