Jack's face pale and he shrunk back when he saw the size of the guy. He opened his mouth to speak and then closed it again. He licked his lips and tried again.
"I'm just looking for a job! I'm not trying anything on!" Jack said, almost a whimper despite himself, thinking the guy was here to beat him up and kick him out for having no money.

The man looked down at Jack. "What's your name, boy?" He asked and folded his arms infront of his body. "Are ya used to work hard?"
In the meanwhile Ana watched them secretly through a hole in the kitchendoor, finding Jack's reaction pretty funny.

Jack stood up straight when he realised he wasn't going to get his arse kicked. "Jack Sparrow," He held his hand out to the man. "Captain, Jack Sparrow," He licked his lips again. It still felt strange to him, calling himself that, but he liked it. He liked it at lot. He never wanted to be plain old 'Jack Sparrow' again.
"Aye, I'm used to hard work, sir, Captain-ed me own ship I did," Jack said with a nod. "Until it ...er ... sunk," He added, thinking that sounded better than saying he got mutinied upon.

Ana giggled a tiny bit, even though she kinda knew how it felt to lose something which one really liked and loved. However, this young guy who claimed he had captained a ship sounded.. cute. The bartender on the otherhand narrowed his eyes, not entirely sure if he should believe that a young lad like this had owned his own ship. "You can stay here for a week.. show what you can. After that I decide if you can stay longer. Ana will show you around, right?!" He asked the last part over his shoulder into the direction of the kitchen. Ana opened the door a bit and smirked, not saying anything.. seeing it was obvious that she had been listening

Jack glanced across at Ana. A smirk spreading across his lips when he noticed she'd been listening. "Ana." He said with an nod, confirming her name.
He put his hands down on the bar and quickly vaulted himself over onto the other side with a grin, showing off a little to the girl. He was very glad she'd be the one showing him around and not the big scary guy.
"What do you want to show me first then?" He grinned, putting a hand on his hip.

Ana pursed her lips when he hopped over the counter. It was obvious that he was trying to show off and that amused her even more. "Well you can start cleaning the floor.." She said with a broad grin, realising that she kinda had some power over him now if she would play it well.. her eyes shifted to the bartender who just smirked and walked away. "I will show you where the cleaningstuff is.." She turned on her heels and marched off..

Jack watched her walk away, taking a moment to take her in, looking her up and down, before he jogged to catch up with her.
"So ... Ana." He repeated, with a smirk. "How long have you been working here?"

Ana opened the door to the stash with cleaning stuff and looked at him over her shoulder. "Four months." She sighed and pulled out a broom, after squishing a spider with her boot. "So.. Jack." She had heard his name earlier when he introduced himself to the bartender. "Ever worked in a bar before?" Ana handed him the broom and pulled out a bucket, which she handed to him as well.

Jack raised an eyebrow, looking down at the mop and bucket in his hands. "Now would be a good time to lie I suppose ... but no, I havent. Let's just say ... I'm used to being the one to give the orders, luv, not take them,"

Ana looked at him - he was taller than she was - "Oh really.. well, you will get used to it soon enough." She flashed him a pearly white grin. "I'll show you where you can find water.. for the bucket.." She nodded at it and walked outside to the back of the tavern
