<div style="text-align: justify;">Elizabeth smiled and nodded. "I had considered that. Will you see if the captain allows it when you talk to him?" After this request, Elizabeth listened to what Hans planned. It was clear that both children had big plans for their future. "That would be good. You could help a lot if you did".<br/><br/>When the boy said he could build his own ship one day, Elizabeth showed a bright smile. She thought for a moment while they picked more berries and she took in their scent for future reference.<br/><br/>"A woman as a first mate? Do you think you will find a crew of men who aren't afraid?"<br/><br/>The girl laughed and shook her head. "I will not cut my hair short and act like a man, no matter how much I like you".<br/><br/>She laughed again after this comment. "I will go wherever you go, Hans. If you have your own ship, I will be happy to be your first mate. And I know you will be a good and fair captain."<br/><br/>The girl was about to say something more, when she saw the men who had left the ship returning. "I think it is time for us to go back", she warned, poking her friend's arm. "Race you to the deck", the girl completed. She placed a cloth over her basket firmly and smiled. "Do the same to yours, otherwise all the berries will be lost when we get there".</div>
