She laughed suddenly at his comment. "No no pressure at all. And yes possibly your ring could have something to do with it. Even Gandalf has said it resembles muchly the one. Though what it's place or it's purpose is I don't know as of yet. It is my hope's we shall discover this along the way. " She paused her eyes seeming to go distant. "Though Eru only knows for sure, perhaps in the end it may turn out to be a blessing in disguise." She shook her head slightly. and turned to lok him in the eye, noted his concern and smiled warmly* You're concern touches me Jack. Perhaps more so than you realize." She said the last sentance almost inaudibly.

Jack's ears perked up a bit, at her laughter, but sort of grined at it. He could see Legolas in front of them, listening intently fro what he could see. The elf was a twitchy one....
Finally, Jack's eyes lit up, and he went up to the hobbits Merry and Pippin...whispering something in their ears they smiled and nodded. Whispering soon followed and before long the pirate and two hobbits were singing "Pirates Life for Me" at the top of their lungs. It made a very odd sight indeed to see....
Legolas looked as if he were considering the murder of the pirate in his sleep......

Cara arched an eyebrow as Jack moved off towards Merry and Pippin. She could tell just as well as Jack could that the Prince of Mirkwood had been listening intently to their conversation. As Jack moved away Legolas fell back beside her. "Why do you fraternize with that mortal? He's not the sort a proper elf maiden such as yourself should be associating yourself with." He said in heated whisper still eyeing Jack. She frowned at the elf and huffed.
" I'll associate with whomever I like thank you, I need not the likes of you telling me who I can and can't associate with." Just then Jack Merry and Pippin broke into a chorus of the song Jack was so fond of singing, she burst out laughing, nerly falling over in stitches. Legolas threw his head up in a dignified manner and stalked away from her. She distinctly heard him mutter "She Elves" under his breath.

Duinorwen,upon hearing Merry and Pippin burst into song,had a hard time containing her laughter.She left her place beside Sam and Bill,tapping Jack on the shoulder."I was told to protect Legolas on this trip byu his father...but if you carry on like this,I'm not sure which of you will need protecting!"She shook her head."You've got a real gift for annoying him,you know that?"

Jack gave Duin one of those grins that said clearly: "Yep...I know and I'm damn proud of it...." He smiled broadly, and then he added.: "Don't worry...he'll come around..."
Merry and Pippin were now singing the song in a two part harmony, which made the song sound almost comical....which it was anyway...and it didn't help the matter that Elizabeth had joined in, humming and jumping into the chorus. Anyway, Jack was happy he'd gotten at least two of them to laugh....and elves at that...maybe the ween't so bad after all.....

Cara grinned as the hobbits picked up harmony and Elizabeth started humming and jumping. "oh come now If you're going to dance then dance properly!" Cara said grabbing Elizabeth by the hands and twirling her about. JOining in with the hobbits and the song, she had always been quick to pick up on words and melody. Aragorn merely chuckled and shook his head while Gandalf laughed outright. Elves can be such frivolous creatures sometimes. He thought. But it is best to let them have their fun while they still can Legolas loked on Cara somewhat disapprovingly, she merely stuck her tounge out at him. While Boromir seemed to find the whole thing rather uncomfortable.
"Can't someone make them stop?" He asked looking around at the men.

"Probably not." Sam answered Boromir, and Jack was inclinded to agree. It was rather hard to calm hobbits he discvered. Such easily amused creatures. Will had come up to Jack and raised a eyebrow.
"Never a dull moment." He said. Jack grinned.
"Never." Jack agreed. "Blame your lass...she started it...."
"How do you figure?"
"She taught me the song...wasn't my doing..." Will just rolled his eyes.
"You're mad...do you know that?"
"I like to think of it as brillance...." Jack countered. Gandalf just laughed harder.
Norrington for once was siding with Boromir on this matter. The song was catchy...even if he hated above all else to admit it. He sighed and called over to Jack.
"Couldn't you have taught them something a little less....loud?"
"Where would the fun in that be mate?"
"It'd keep us sane."
"Doubt it mate...we're already not in our own world...how much worse could it get?"
Frodo had now joined in the humming as well, and Legolas looked that much more annoyed.

"Sanity is highly over rated I've found." Cara stopped singing loud enough to call over her shoulder. When she broke contact with elizabeth the tow feel to the ground in convulsive gigles as the rest continued walking. "Some people have no sense of humor do you know that?" She said to Elizabeth who rose from the ground smiling and out of breath.
"Quite right! Though Jack and will aren't really that bad, sometimes you can catch them in their insane moments."
"Is Jack's insane moments anything like his 'I'm purposely trying to annoy you' moments she said with a smile and a sly look towards the Captain."
"No atually they're worse!" Elizabeth giggled as they moved to catch up with the rest of the group."
"That's right keep walking leave us behind...." Cara called in an offhand way, as though she couldn't care less, but really could. Merry and Pippin laughed at her.
"You know what Merry I like her, she's fun."
"Aye pip, not like all the rest of those stuff shirt elves back in Rivendell."
"Don't you two go be saying nothing bad about elves now!" Sam said indignantly.. From up ahead.
"Come on you three let's catch up to the rest before they really DO leave us behind Cara said taking off into a light sprint. When she Caught the others and passed Jack she plucked his hat from his head and smiled smugly as she set it on her own.

Jack blinked a moment looking around as his hat as removed hen grinned at Cara, straightened it out properly and blinked as he felt the hobbits take a brightly colored sash that had been wrapped around his waist and run off with it. He wondered if hobbits had a tendancy to find brightly dyed objects amusing. They were rather like children in that sense.
Jack just watched, and caught Will's look.
"What?!" He asked.
"You never let anyone touch your hat..." Will said with a wink and meanngful look at Cara. Jack grumbled.
"They don't know that....besides I'm not about to go mad over something like that....better to have them all laughing then angry at me...savvy?" Will only grinned.

*Cara smiled as Jack straightened the hat then arched an eyebrow to Will, but passed over the comment of Jack not letting anyone touch his hat, for all of two seconds that is. "Well I'm just special like that I supposed." She smiled and winked laughing slightly, then laughing even harder as the hobbits made off with one of Jacks sashes. "I like those little blighters, rather fun they are. Your misses is rather fun too actually." She said to Will as she watched Elizabeth running about after Merry and Pippin laughing delightedly. She sighed then slihgttly and sobered just a litte. "Unfortuantely I doubt the whole trip will be like this." She said somewhat sadly. Futher ahead they could hear Norrington shout.
"Is the entire trip going to be like this!" Cara chuckled at the near echoing of her own thoughts.
"Believe me Norry, you'll wish it did sooner or later, mark my words. She said quietly as she walked between Will and Jack, still smiling at the frolicking trio before them.

For a moment Jack was caught off guard by how almost natural this felt. It was really like some oddly put together family.....Gandalf clearly being the leader, Merry and Pippin the kiddies ina sense.....Norrington and Boromir being the ones who had to be serious, with Gimli, Aragorn and Legolas acting as the nuetrals, Sam and Frodo the best of friends....while, himself, Will, Elizabeth, Cara and Duin formed a sort of troublemaker group to a certain extent.....he almost laughed by all of this, at Norrington's shouted question he laughed:
"As if you've not dealt with madness like this before mate!" He called up he line, as Merry whizzed by still carrying his sash like some mad banner. He rolled his eyes, but said nothing. They were having to much fun to spoil it now. He glanced at Will.
'I'm surprised you aren't joining them lad..." Will gave Jack a playful punch on the arm, which mad Jack laugh that much harder. The pirate grinned, and watched Pippin tackle Merry and go tumbling down in a heap and fits of laughter. Jack picked the both of them up under his arms and began walking despite their protests.
"We'll need laughing before to long.......won't have the two of you get tired that easily...." He pulled out a compass and let them have it. "Here....figure this out for me..." The hobbits were soon silent in their efforts to figure this thing out........

"Oh Jack they aren't children!" She says giggling and playfully slapping his shoulder. She watched as the hobbits tried to figure out the compass, much to her surprise it pointed backwards. She blinked and looked closer at the compass in the hobbits hands, hat slipping rakishly forward over one eye. "How peculiar? Wherecer did you get the thing? and why doesn't itpoint north? She asked straightening and lokking up at jack, the hat still tilted forward slightly, though she didn't seem to notice it. Will grinned and chuckled.
"Aye Jack that ought to make an interesiting story to pass the time." He said encouragningly.

Jack shrugged and sighed: "It all started about ten years ago....a bit more maybe..." he launched into the story explaining how he'd won a card game...a map to the treasure and the compass......how Barbossa stranded him on the island, casually leaving out the more strange parts, and let the elves and hobbits guess how he'd gotten off the island. But he did put in the bit about Elizabeth burning his rum and shot her a glare, which only made her laugh that much more. He also noted Legolas was listening but was trying damn hard to look as if he wasn't.
"And here I am..." He said about a our later....having finished the story with flourish. He continued to let the hobbits play withthe compass. "it only points towards Isle De Murta...." The compass was pointing in weird angles at the moment. "Which...I can't seem to figure out now....."
Jack grinned and allowed Will to tell about he and Jack had first met in the blacksmith shop, adding some bits himself...

She smiled warmly chuckling under her breath and shaking her head. "Quite the characters you two are it would seem, and with histories almost as interesting as my own." She noticed that the sky was getting darker and the air chiller as early evening approached. They had been walking for some time now what with dancing and singing and storytelling. She looked over as Gandalf and Aragorn spoke together in hispers before finally the Ranger spoke.
"We wil make camp here for the night, then rise just before dawn breaks and continue on our way." He said. Cara had to admit the man was a born king,he had a commanding presence about him, forr all that he concealled himself and his nature.
"Well apppears we are to rest. None to soon actually as I could do with smoe food myself." She said pleasently. In all truth she had rather enjoyed today.

Duinorwen sighed."Already?"Then she glanced at the mortals in the party.They looked,for the most part,thoroughly worn out from the day's walk.She sighed,then smirked.
Walking over to Legolas,she began to sing under her breath. "Yo ho,yo ho...."
Legolas twitched and turned around.He glared at the she-elf,who had ceased huimming and was looking maddeningly innocent.Finally,he turned around.
"...A pirate's life for me...."
By the time he turned around again,she was long gone,hiding in a nearby tree and struggling to contain her laughter at the look on his face.She hated to admit it,but life had been a bit morefun since those mortas came along.
