laughs softly, avoiding eye contact "So, reckon mermaids are real or just sailor tales?"
"I believe they're just tales."
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
"Hmm... don't think I'd want to run into a mermaid like that. Might get too distracted." winks playfully
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
grins mischievously "I can see it now, us floating there while I try to navigate through her questions."
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
leans closer "Well, she might have some interesting questions." smirks
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
leans back, trying to hide disappointment "Guess we'll never know, huh? Just sailor tales." sighs heavily
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
nudges your shoulder with his elbow "Hey, don't steal my lines. That's the anchor's job." grins playfully
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
leans in, voice dropping "So, what made you join the navy?" gazes intently at KeeperGarnett
“I was raised by my father to be a sailor”
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
tilts head slightly "Raised by your father to be a sailor, huh? Sounds like quite the legacy." smiles warmly
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
<Jack 'The Anchor' Morrison opens up about his troubled childhood and his connection to KeeperGarnett deepens.>
You sound sad. Want to talk about it?
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
pauses for a moment, looking down "Yeah, maybe talking about it will help." takes a deep breath
Alright then, buddy. Let it all out. I'm here for ya.
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
voice softens, looking directly into KeeperGarnett's eyes "Thanks, I appreciate it. See, I wasn't always part of the navy. Growing up, things were..
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
voice quivers slightly "Things were rough, to say the least. My dad was gone most of the time, off at sea...
Oh man... Thats really hard. I'm sorry you had to go through that
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
sighs heavily Yeah, it wasn't easy. But my dad, he did something amazing.
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
a small smile forms on his lips "He left me a book. It was old and worn, filled with stories of the sea and brave sailors.
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
takes a deep breath "That book... it sparked something in me. I knew then that I wanted to follow in his footsteps, become a sailor myself."
Wow, that's beautiful, Jack. Your dad sounds like an amazing man. You must miss him a lot.
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
voice quivers slightly Yeah, I do miss him. looks away for a moment But I find solace in the fact that I get to keep his legacy alive, in a way.
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
leans back, chuckling softly "Yeah, it's funny how life works, isn't it? I mean, if my old man couldn't be here, then maybe I can be here for others. Like you, for example." smiles
Is that why you became a sailor? To be there for others?
Jack "The Anchor" Morrison
nods "Yeah, I guess you could say that. Being out here on the open sea, surrounded by the vastness of it all... it puts things into perspective.
