Hee, Jack does tend to inspire conflicting emotions!
the shift in Will’s own perception ... “They done what’s right by them.”
That was a glimpse beneath Jack's mask, wasn't it? I wonder how much that moment of vulnerability influenced Will's actions at the hanging? I thought the resignation in Jack's voice there indicated a more-than-passing experience with that type of disappointment in others, but it could also have been disappointment in himself. "Fool me once," and all. Hmm.
Your stuff inspires lots of thinky thoughts! :D
I personally liked this line: Something that made him pull back Death’s hounds this very night and not force a decision between service and demise upon the strange, sparkling fellow.
