[Buffy was doubtlessly a curious lass to someone like Barbossa. There were no small number of wannabe pirates in Tortuga who would abandon ship in the face of real danger, and those were all people who didn't have it in them to be suited for that job. This woman, however, didn't really strike him as somebody who would cower easily... And hey, she apparently knew who he was, and didn't seem particularly intimidated. At all, actually.

His brows lifted in recognition upon the mention of Elizabeth Swann, though. That was certainly somebody who would know a great deal about him.

A moment passed before he considered what she had said for a while, however, and it was then when he spoke.]

Aye... She would know me. Ye could say we go way back ourselves. Ye see, it was even I who ended up marryin' her to the son of Bootstrap Bill Turner on me ship. [In the middle of a goddamn fight, too. He was mentioning it now, but back then he certainly wasn't particularly thrilled about having to do it.]

[The pirate captain then leaned a bit forward and narrowed his eyes further in Buffy's direction. His gaze was clearly suspicious.]

I'm afraid I have not had the pleasure of seeing the fair lass since I lost me limb... And I hadn't heard of her husband ever since he became captain of the Flying Dutchman.

[One of his hands stroked his beard a bit as he spoke.]

...Which makes me wonder exactly how she knew that I kept rum in me wooden leg, miss Buffy.
