ii. tortuga; [The truly baffling and wonderful thing, in his opinion, about Tortuga, is how it can feel like a new place with every visit, with its evershifting population of pirates and honest sailors that are out to make some extra coin, and like home all at once. It's always been that way, since Nassau was lost when he was much younger, and Tortuga had become even more of a bustling hub of activity than it had been before.
It's always the same waterfront that greets a man when a ship moves to dock, the slips packed as tight as the bumpers will allow, camps hastily thrown together on the beach with captains' tents standing out like sore thumbs, dockwalkers all trying to make some extra money besides whatever they earn from whatever brothel, and a babble of languages from every corner of the globe, because piracy is a culture that crosses cultures.
He and Jack leave the Pearl together (last, always last, it's best to let the crew depart first after tying up and securing the ship, to let them burst free and commence the hedonism as soon as they can) before parting at the end of the gangplank, and Jack has gone his merry way, and Hector will go his own, with his own half of the errands to run, because in this circumstance, at least, while he may gripe, and he may complain, he can admit to himself that Jack will pull through on his half. For the Pearl, if for no other reason. That is, in truth, the one thing that Jack Sparrow can be trusted implicitly on: If it's for the good of her, he'll do what needs doing.
So he, much like Jack, can be found everywhere over Tortuga during the daylight hours, haggling with this shipwright, arguing with that carpenter, and most certainly intimidating the different shops that offer supplies such as food, canvas, and other assorted goods can be purchased, because with this many pirates in port at once, these fools think driving up the price is going to work with their lot. He's not having it.
When the sunlight finally begins to die, he can be found in the Faithful Bride, a tavern a bit out of the way, but bustling with activity and noise all the same, already planning what must be done the next day, and still ignoring the fact that he's bruised and battered from the battle with the Dutchman, because that's simply going to have to wait until the Pearl's taken care of.]
