Bootstrap laughed humorlessly. "Yer one to be talkin' about abandonin', lad," he muttered. Truth be told, death was looking more and more inviting, but his attention wasn't on the differences between the two offers; it was on what they had in common. Either way, Will would be stuck serving 100 years under Jones-- a fate worse than death. "Ye have to find another way, Will. Stop thinkin' about me. This is goin' to make me sound like a horrible father, but seein' as that's not too far from the truth, there's no need to worry: I want ye to be completely selfish in this matter. For once, put yeself first and get off this ship by any means necessary. I don't care if ye have to lie, cheat, and steal...just get off. Yer far too young to be condemned to this fate." Roughly brushing away the solitary tear that threatened to spill over, Bootstrap sighed and leaned back against the wall. As he sat there staring at Will, another barnacle slowly grew on his face. Seeing the odd look he was receiving, Bill explained, "Jones' thrives off of pain an' suffering. The more ye suffer...the more you're his."

Will stood against the wall next to his father sniffing and wiping away the tears. He fixed his eyes straight and said, "How could I not think of you first? I thought you were dead.....now to learn you're not....and that you're suffering here on this bloody ship....." he shook his head in disbelief.
He then turned his head to face Bootstrap and said softly, "I'd rather have you free than suffering for an eternity."

"An' I would sooner suffer for an eternity than have ye serve even a hundred years," Bootstrap countered stubbornly. "I deserve this fate; you don't. Ye have a life to go back to, Will. A woman who loves ye. The chance to raise a family an' do an honest day's work to support them. I had all that, an' I gave it up for piracy... Jus' look at it this way, lad: I gave everythin' to be able to sail the seas, an' now I get to do it...forever. The greatest service ye can do me is grantin' me the peace of knowing my son is alive and safe. Don't worry about me."

Will watched his father's emtions and listened closely to his voice. It brought back odd and blurry memories in his mind. Just to have his father standing next to him made Will feel whole and safe.
At the metion of Elizabeth, Will's heart soared. "Elizabeth...." he said quietly. Will then leaned in close to Bootstrap and said, "How do I escape then?" It seemed like his focus was back on the love of his life.

"Ah, is that 'er name, then?" Bootstrap said quietly. Smiling sadly, he turned his focus back on the task at hand. "Well, ye obviously cannot escape in the manner ye did last time. Jones'll be expectin' that, an' it couldn't happen anyway if he already considers ye one of us...A bargain, perhaps? Surely ye still have something left against him."

Will nodded as Bootstrap metioned Elizabeth. He then turned his thoughts to the conversation at hand. "All I have is the key, but Norrington has the heart." He threw his hands up in the air and shouted, "I don't have anything else but my soul.....what else could Jones want?" He then placed his hands on his hips with a confused look.

"Unfortunately, just that," Bootstrap replied defeatedly. "An' ye best watch yerself, William. It's exactly that kind o' hopeless thinking that draws his attention. When ye seemingly have nothing else to lose...that's when he strikes. Makes a bargain with ye, then takes the last thing ye do have to lose...yer soul." Sighing, he closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the wall. "It's been almost-"
"Liar," a strained voice interrupted from behind them.
"Bloody-" Bootstrap exclaimed, turning around to address the speaker. "Blast it, Wyvern! Ye can't just be poppin' up behind people all the time! Why don't ye go bother someone else on th' crew?"
The old sailor didn't reply, but started looking around frantically. "Liar...liar...liar..." he kept repeating, as though trying to remember something. "Can't bargain...Make a bet...No, don't bet, he always wins!...Play the dice..." Still muttering something about a bet, Wyvern slowly disappeared back into the wall.

Will's heart skipped a beat and he jumped back slightly at the sight of Wyvern. He listened intently to all that Wyvern was saying....since he did open his big mouth before about the key.
Will's eyes squinted as he said softly, "Play the dice? Make a bet?" He smiled slyfully and crossed his arms.
Once Wyvern had disappeared back into the wall, Will looked at Bootstrap and said, "I will challenge Jones once again to Liar's Dice, but this time, you MUST stay out of it!" Will then placed his hand on his father's deformed coral shoulder.

Jack raised an eyebrows and eyeballed Davey Jones with a digusted look, "Ye know for havin' such a bleak outlook on me, I was well on my way in takin' yer beloved heart all to myself."
