More than Myth

@riggingfreedom | Jack Sparrow [x]

“I’ve never seen a black mark before - I always thought they were a myth.” | tidehearted's Armando to Jack

Jack’s eyes were downcast, a strange twisting of shame rolling through him as the mark on his calf received scrutiny. He had not thought to expect remark from this quarter as he walked barefoot along the balustrade of the Silent Mary, his pants rolled up from having been off her edge helping with repainting. He considered what to say, before in the end settling for a simple, “No more a myth than ghost ships, mate.”

At first, Armando had merely been admiring the sparrow’s balance, but then he had seen the mark, a blackened stain upon Jack’s leg. He lifted his hand, tracing the edge of the mark softly. “I would like to meet the one responsible for this- if only to wipe their stain from the face of the earth,” he growled. “But I will not press you.” 

His hand traced upwards, then, to the bottom of what appeared to be another mark, hidden by Jack’s pant leg- a point, of some sort, though he could see no more. At least this one did not seem blackened.
