[ Okay, Will probably should have thought it over longer before agreeing to meet at the pool of all bloody places. He never had been one to think things through very well.
He had found the place easily enough, but there was no way he was actually going to go in there unless he was sure Killian was there. If he was a lifeguard like he had said, then that meant he was incredibly easy to spot. Will gestured to the man, still very much outside of the actual pool area. ]
[ He smiles and jumps down because he probably has one of those tall chairs that lifeguards get because those are great. As he approaches with all his swagger, he spreads his arms out to gesture to Will. ]
[ Who knew this guy would be so friendly? That was a welcome change for sure. It almost made him forget how terrified he was of falling in the water. Almost. ]
[ As a matter of fact, he even goes over to Will's side and puts his hand on his back, patting it briefly in a welcoming way. He's not about to hug him, but he's sure going to be welcoming.
Maybe he just recognizes a man with a broken heart and a boozy solution. ]
[ Normally Will probably would have told the other man to keep his hands to himself, but considering the mood he was in it was actually nice to have someone treat him with some enthusiasm. ]
I'll drink anything as long as it gets me where I wanna be.
Aye, mate. This prison isn't exactly filled with saints.
[ Still, as he leads him over and pulls up some of those big white chairs together near the edge of the water with his foot around the chair leg. ]
Is it so surprising? Rum, only one hand, [ he holds up his nub to emphasize ] a penchant for impressing the ladies with my good looks, and staying as close to water and lack of supervision as I can within a prison.
[ Will definitely noticed the proximity of the chairs to the water, but maybe he would sit down if Killian did first. Maybe. Couldn't look like a chicken next to a bloody pirate. ]
Guess it makes sense when you put it that way. Don't think there's many ladies to impress around here, though.
[ There was a part here that was great but I took it out because I accidentally pressed enter and now it's just embarrassing, so I'm excusing myself from this portion of the tag. ]
Miss Skye is my favorite contender so far. Miss Yang is quite beautiful but a little young for my tastes. Miss Oswald, the Babydoll lass, the Ushiromiya sisters, Miss Watson... That lady who fashions herself a queen-- haven't caught her name yet, but someone I know seems quite interested in her so I'm sure I'll see plenty of her as well.
[ Will didn't know half the people Killian had mentioned. He liked Skye well enough and considered Babydoll a friend, but the rest he had either barely spoken to or couldn't put a face to at all.
From what I understand she's on the list of people he likes enough to help get her out of here. I don't know her, but if she's on his list I'd wager she's not the most morally upstanding of lasses. I'd estimate myself a fair chance.
[ Oops. Hook raises both of his eyebrows and opens his mouth for a moment, then smiles. Let's get the charm back. ]
Then for your sake I hope he decides he likes you as well, mate.
[ After all, Killian wouldn't bet against Pan. He would never agree with him really, but he certainly wouldn't doubt his ability to get exactly what he wants. Which means Hook assumes if he really wants this woman out with him, that's what's happening. ]
When that child's stock and trade is kidnapping, corrupting, and killing other children, yes. If that girl of yours is truly working with him you may ask her if you don't believe me.

... bloody hell. At least if I die I'll be so drunk I won't remember it in the mornin'.
Meet you there.

[ Well not if there's not one around at the time, but he can joke. Hook will be waiting by the pool for Will. ]

You Killian Jones?
[action]
[ He smiles and jumps down because he probably has one of those tall chairs that lifeguards get because those are great. As he approaches with all his swagger, he spreads his arms out to gesture to Will. ]
That would make you Will Scarlet.
[action]
Also the one and only, mate.
[action]
Maybe he just recognizes a man with a broken heart and a boozy solution. ]
What's your poison of choice, Mr. Scarlet?
[action]
I'll drink anything as long as it gets me where I wanna be.
[action]
[ There's a statement with a slightly distasteful tone to it following that ]
Except for those jello-shots they sell here. Never thought I was having a hallucination before I drank enough of something before.
[action]
Priorities. ]
Rum ain't bad at all.
[ Jello shots? ... yeah, he had tried those once. ]
Mate, I could have told ya ahead of time that those ain't worth a dime.
[action]
[ He had to try them at least! ]
[action]
You're a bloody pirate?
[ Not that he cared. Thief, pirate. Same thing. ]
And here I was thinkin' things wouldn't get weird til I was sufficiently wasted.

There are a fair few I've taken to noticing.
[ Like at least two or three. ]
[action]
Such as?
[ DO NOT LOOK AT ANASTASIA. ]

[action]
Except Ana, that was. ]
Interested in what way?
[action]
[action]
[ Will narrowed his eyes. Suddenly he was feeling more irritable than chummy. ]
You're talkin' about my bloody girlfriend.
[action]
Then for your sake I hope he decides he likes you as well, mate.

Would be nice if I knew who you were even talkin' about.

[action]
A boy? You're honest-to-god putting merit in threats from a bloody kid?
