"And there's downed lumber aplenty back in the village. People have been clearing it from their yards for weeks.

It just needs...actual lumbering. Cutting and sanding. Whatever that's called."

[all7seas]

"I can do that. Luceti, though -- needs a sawmill." Planing wood was such hot, sweaty, laborious work, especially with the tools they had available.

"Thunderaxe might loan me his chainsaw if he's feelin' magnanimous."

[herotypical]

"I can get you his chainsaw. Seriously. Me and him are practically besties. Nothing glues two friends together like the great paste of punnery.

Except, perhaps, real glue. Have you ever done that? Accidentally superglued yourself to someone or something? It's not a good time."

"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the face of a man who's never been in the third grade."

[all7seas]

[herotypical]

"Mmhm. And now the sudden bafflement of the same man who probably never knew the school-kid source of joy that is pizza day. Arguably the best day of the week."

[all7seas]

Jack made a mental note to make her a pizza. "Derek made good pizza."

[herotypical]

"...Derek made amazing pizza. Something about the crust. It was perfect."

[all7seas]

"I'm going to try. To outdo him." Because perfect was too good a challenge to pass up. The pirate made to stand -- a bit stiffly, to tell the truth.

[herotypical]

"Good luck with that. You'll need it. Derek's family was Italian. Pizza is kinda like Italy's raison d'etre -- along with suits and cars. Possibly fine art, if I'm to believe what Andrew keeps e-mailing me. Kept. Kept e-mailing me."

Gathering her gift-shells, she also stood. "...Need a hand?"

[all7seas]

"Nah." He was already on his feet. "Want to bring me home, now?"

Jack meant Seven. It still felt almost...like he was violating something sacred, calling it that.

"Happily."

There were too many shells to carry in one hand. She split them across both, swinging her arms a bit to feel their nearly-not-there weight shift in loose fists.

"And then I'll put some ice on that bruise."

[all7seas]

"Afterward you can put some you on it. Even more better."

[herotypical]

"Hey, unlike you? I have pretty much zilch in the department of magical healing. There's not much good I'll do you. Ice, though...maybe we have a bag of peas in the freezer."

She slipped her feet back into the sandals she'd left in the sand at the dock's beginning. "I just can't shake this crummy feeling over the whole thing."

[all7seas]

"Hmmmmmmm?" Jack sought her hand. "Over what whole thing, love?"

[herotypical]

"Me. You. The projectile soda pop."

Her fingertips touched the X on his palm. It signal-boosted her guilt.

[all7seas]

"Woman, I'm not damaged. Just a bit bruised up. Feeling better even now." He squeezed her hand in his. "No more crummy feelings. Savvy?"

[herotypical]

"You practically groaned while standing up. Any more pitiful of a display and I would've expected to have to carry you."

[all7seas]

"I'm not pitiful. Captain Jack Sparrow is never pitiful."

Except for those moments when he was.

[herotypical]

"Fine. I take it back. Never pitiful; always a marvellous example of manliness and, uhm, what else should I be saying right now?"

[all7seas]

"Virility. And exceptional balance. And his own brand of elegance and ferocity."

[herotypical]

"Fine. But can you wrap that all up into one word? I'm looking for parallelism, here."

She twisted to face him, entering the fort with a dramatic backwards step.

[all7seas]

"Ferocibalegance." He followed, equally dramatically -- trying to pretend like it wasn't just the tiniest wrench to leave the shore behind.

[herotypical]

It was cooler in here. Buffy even found herself experiencing the odd shiver as she descended the narrow fort staircase.

"Neologisms don't count," said the arguable queen of made-up words. "At least, not bad ones."
