        “Now, Now, Jack. You were perfectly happy to come along when I asked you earlier, remember?” She’s teasing, naturally, knowing full well he was only agreeable because of the voodoo. Still, she found amusement in the situation all the same. But as he continues speaking, her eyes roll and that subtle irritation is returning. 

        She does not need to be told how to captain her ship, or what — in his ‘expert’ opinion — made a good captain. Angelica did have a plan tentatively in place, left fairly vague if only for the necessity of changing plans when it helped things along. “If you are implying Tortuga, I’d already thought of that,” she said, “It’s been almost a week the Revenge came to port here. It is likely he’ll have already docked and left Tortuga by the time we arrive there, so I am taking things a step further and heading to Nassau instead. It is a large place, I’ll give you that, but we do have one thing to our advantage,” she grins passing control of the wheel to one of her crew members and motioning for Jack to follow her below deck.

        “If I’m not mistaken, you are still in possession of the compass, are you not? That little trinket of yours will lead us right to Barbossa if all goes well.” She knew well how Jack’s compass worked. Whoever held it, the compass would lead them to what they most desired. For Angelica, she most desired to find Barbossa and her ship, so it seemed plausible that the compass should be quite a big help.

“Of course I would, most anyone would when they were brainwashed to do so, love.”

That was mostly him just stating a fact, but his voice was also tinged with something akin to his dislike for that doll in general. For Jack to not being in control, even over his own body, he wasn’t exactly too pleased with it. Then again most people wouldn’t, but for Jack he wasn’t even more so. She knew that perfectly well, but of course she’d rub that power she had over him in anyway.

They were two captains stuck aboard the same ship for an undetermined period of time, how well did Angelica want to wager that that went? It seldom did when Barbosa and Jack were forced to reluctantly work together, but that never stopped the two of them from bickering like children quite occasionally. It’d be no different with Angelica, hell perhaps even more considering their history together.

He followed her when she started off and motioned for him to do the same. Their footsteps got lost amidst the men moving around them working as the ship continued on, but the noise from overhead died down as they moved downward towards the lower deck.

“You already know the answer to the question even before you asked it.”

That much was true, the compass stayed on him at all times without question, especially now that it was safely back in his possession and stayed that way. As they finished their descent, the compass got pulled from the waistband of Jack’s pants and held up a bit for her to see.

“Seeing as you’re the one who’s looking for something we don’t have you do the honors for a proper heading?”
