Ark looks at him. Nodding his head. "Then Calypso herself deemed you worthy to survive in her dangerous waters." He says simply. Running a hand through the loose strands of his hair. "Well I imagine your quite the captain. Ya showed all signs of becoming one as a kid." he says with a goofy grin. Continuing to walk with them. Arching an eyebrow at Jane's suggestion. Looking to Diego to see how he reacted. A big old grin on his face. "Awesome. We can totally be hell on feet like we used to be. After I get the chores done. Which since I was slow this morning. Even though it looked like I was fast. If I speed it up a bit I can be done before the captain and crew wake and still have time for breakfast and to wrestle you out of bed." he says playfully. Pumping the air with his fist. He looks at Diego and smirks back. "Yes. Yes it is. The figurative shoe, since I hate wearing those things, is on the other foot. Though by the looks of it, even if I wore shoes, they totally wouldn't fit on your feet." he teases. Laughing a bit. "I only called you it because I knew in time you would be so much taller than me. And lookie here you really are."<br/><br/>He heard the cheering and singing. Seeing a lot of people he shifted a bit. Shaking his head and relaxed. He was NOT back at those damn navy gatherings. He was safe now. Back where he belonged. Back with the people he really belonged to. He looked at Diego after sitting down. An arching of his eyebrow as he waited for an explaination. Listening to him and paled. Remembering the ambush that was the cause leading to his mother's eventual demise. Closing his eyes and a smirk crossed his lips. "Nice Diego. Totally something I could expect from my old friend. Something you did once to mom before she totally captured you and induced tickle torture." He says playfully. Laughing a bit and nodded his head. Agreeing with the cheering pirates.<br/><br/>He looked at Jane interestingly. He laughed a bit and grinned impishly. "Now Jane that just isn't fair. I only stowed away on your ship because your cargo crate looked so damn comfortable. Plus with that oversized coat and hat I stole I could totally blend in with the cargo. Not my fault I was tired from playing dodge, run and kick the ass of the ENTIRE royal navy. It was their fault their top men are dead too. I killed them because they killed my mother. They just couldn't handle her." He grins a bit. "I also stole some of the queens treasure maps from the admirals ship that I'll be sharing with Captain Jane. PLUS I stole one of the navy's charts that I'll be sharing with all of you that indicates most, but not all, of the courses that the royal navy's ships follow."<br/><br/>He heard the laughing and cheering but everyone got a somber look at the mentioning of the woman's death. The ones of Jane's crew had already told Diego's crew about the special birthmark they all remembered on Ark's chest. He shakes his head a bit. "Mom would've been proud of all of you. Took an entire three ships worth of navy crew to take her down to kill her. She went out fighting." He gets a solemnly. "Anyways...anyone else have some fun and adventure lately." He looks at Jack. "How about you Uncle Jack? Bamboozle anyone of note worthiness? Perhaps have some crazily concoted adventures up your sleeve?"
