Ah, looks like the Inn was the only place you could drown your sorrows lately- though it was raining outside, it was still a good place to find a crew, have some rum, bad reputation really. The door drew open as a figure slightly recognised enterred the bar with a blank expression across his face. From far away he looked like Jack Sparrow to be honest, the same face, the same eyes- but that was the mystery, he was his son. Joseph sparrow- now he wasn't a pirate that's what was funny, he was just a normal boy who helped out in Port Royal came for a mug of rum for a change, maybe to find his legendary father.
He stepped into the light sitting up at the bar and waved his hand to get the over flirtacious bartender to get him a drink. He nodded as she came nearer.
"What can i get you handsome?"
"Rum please"
He muttered under his breath and sighed.

"Easy gents. No need to quarrel over spilt rum, eh?"
The last thing anyone would need is for five drunk sailors to rage over the fact that their rum was just knocked over, accidentally of course, by a clumsy pirate. Said pirate, Jack Sparrow. Reason behind the clumsiness...he was 100% sober. Ironic, isn't it? Jack being perfectly corridnated while drunk and completely clumsy when sober. Go figure. Backing up slightly over the broken pieces of glass from the rum bottles, Jack merely gave his grin as he slowly reached for his sword. The five drunken sailors circled him and then sneered as one by one they all pulled out their swords and/or pistols. Jack blinked and then smirked, yanking his sword out of its sheath and then slashing to and fro, hoping to scare them somehow. They didn't budge. He stopped and then thought for a moment, stroking his beard, if you could call it one, with his fingers. One of the sailors lunged at Jack thinking he was preoccupied at the moment. Think again, mate. Slash! Slash! Thonk! Jack stood behind where the sailor once stood and beamed down at him as he lay unconcious on the floor from having an over head flower pot land on his head, and his belt split so his pants fell down to his ankles, causing him to fall.
"Anyone else wanna 'av a go?"
Jack said, brandishing his sword infront of him and raising his eyebrows in amusement. The four remaining sailors gaped down at their fallen comrade and then growled as they all launched at Jack, who merely jumped up and caught hold of a rafter. Hanging there, he looked down at the four men collide and fall to the ground. Grinning, Jack let go and landed on his feet in the middle of the circle of fallen sailors. Triumphant, he sheathed his sword and made his way further into the bar and wound his way through the crowd. Finally reaching the bar counter he patted the top of it with his palm.
"Rum."
The bar tender lost no time in fetching the famous Captain Jack Sparrow a rum and then stood there watching him as he drank it. Jack blinked at the bar tender and raised an eyebrow as he set the glass down.
"Fascinating, arn't I?"

Joseph heard the stirr of disturbance and turned his head to see what only could of caused it, just a few pirates in battle- nothing of pure interest. When one of the pirates came over to sit where indeed Joseph was sitting he watching them intentively and gulped back the rest of his rum, giving the expression that it was either horrible or bitter- one of those but Joseph wasn't the one to drink rum, today was just a different sort of day, the outlook wasn't right. He sat there for a moment and placed his mug back on the table, taking a notice of the man sat next to him- why did he look so oddly familuar?
"You, what is your name?"

Jack glanced beside him and made a double take from the boy to his glass of rum.
"Captain Jack Sparrow."
He said slowly. He eyed the boy and raised his brow a bit.
"You look familiar. Have I threatened you before?"

Jack Sparrow
That was simply all Joseph took into notice at this moment, he crossed his arms as his facial expression turned almost serious- his eyebrows knotted into a frown as he hastily tried to gather his words.
"Jack Sparrow? Your name is Jack Sparrow? If that's the case, then your my- my father."

Jack had been taking a swig of his rum and then choked and spat it out at the bartender. He apologized and then glanced over at the boy beside him. He looked him up and down in disbelief but couldn't deny the fact that he looked almost exactly like Jack did.
"How? I don't recall ever having a son?"
He said glancing around incase this was some sort of a set up.

Joseph went wide eyed at that sudden moment- that was nice that he truely didn't exist. He glanced at Jack- this wasn't exactly how he planned to meet his father in any case, nothing like how he imagined, hmm pure coinsidence that he met him in the old Inn, not one of the nicest placed to be found really. Joseph frowned again feeling a little annoyed.
"I'd like to ask you the same question, but it seems you had no idea of my existence, incase you didn't know Father my name is Joseph- Joseph Sparrow"
His last few words faded as he repeated his name.
[Don't know who his mother is >.< ]

[Eh, we'll just say that she never told Jack about the baby.]
Jack stared at the lad and then shifted his glance around.
"Who was your mother?"
[Just make something up.]

He blinked and tilted his head to one side for a moment in mere though. He coughed gently into his hand and pursed his lips shaking his head and narrowed his eyes a fraction in shame.
"Jennifer Rosilier"
[ Made up. But still, i'm Still Joseph Sparrow >.< ]

Jack's eyes widened and then he looked away.
"Jenny.."
He said quietly.

"Ahh, you know of her then"
He blinked and looked at Jack with curiousity.

He nodded.
"Of course, I do. We had a 'thing' a few years back. Though she said she wanted nothing to do with me anymore. So I left. She never told me she was with child."

Joseph stood up and placed one hand on his hip with slight frustration and utter confusion. He tipped his head foward slightly and looked over at the bar tender.
"Another Rum, thankyou"
He looked swiftly back at Jack
"Well Father, she obviously did, as here i stand your son, and yet you have no idea how to welcome me"

"Perhaps it's because I'm going through an emotional state at the moment, eh?"
He said glancing at his son. Indeed, he hadn't really planned on running into his son when coming in for a rum.
"How is Jenny? Is she well?"
He asked after a few silent moments.

He stepped backwards, turning himself to sit back down at the bar and settled his small flare of temper- taking a deep breath and considerring what his father was saying to him, it seemed he was a bit considerate about his Mothers wellbeing which was a good sign.
"She's alright, still alone as it seems"
