<div style="text-align: justify;">Elizabeth was already standing by the tree and checking the branches. She was younger and smaller than Hans, and she was also a scrawny little thing, small for her age and very light on her feet. Elizabeth thought to herself that at least for this, the fact that she was tiny worked to her advantage. For everything else, for her entire life, it had been something she was secretly ashamed of. But this feeling was kept buried deep inside Liz, not shared with anyone. Not even with Hans, who had, in a short period of time, become the closest friend Elizabeth had ever had.<br/><br/>"Good enough", the girl replied when Hans said if nothing else he would break the fall. She didn't mind falling from a short distance, but if it was from a height that could get her seriously hurt, having him break the fall could mean the difference between minor injury and some broken bones. Hans' promise to break her fall, though, meant she didn't have  to worry about that. Not if she trusted him, at least - and she did. She would trust him with her very life, and she sincerely hoped to deserve the same trust on the part of her friend.<br/><br/>Listening carefully to Hans instruction, Elizabeth nodded. They seemed like sound pieces of advice. As Hans folded  his hand that way, Elizabeth promptly placed a foot there and grabbed a branch. "Aye, I am going to climb", the girl replied, her foot already landing on a branch. She looked up the tree and moved up a little.<br/><br/>"Stay where you can see the nest. If at some point I can't see it, I will need you to guide me".</div>
