Some of these things I have heard of, but only in fables and myths of many strange manner of creatures. That none of said creatures are here, and I do not think any of our traveling companions are of a magical sort, so such items have me truly bewildered.

[Jack admitting that it bewildered him was a giant leap of honesty, but many a knowing companion would not have let that fool them. He was nicknamed 'Witty Jack' by Tia Dalma and that alone should be considered a warning to those that may dismiss him as a common seaman.]

There is no denying that, however it does lend some air of the fantastical that even I cannot claim to know much of. [He wiggled his fingers as if dismissing the idea, even though there was a strangely fey smile touching his lips.] Though I could always edit it for some ears, aye?
