<div style="text-align: justify;">Elizabeth didn't think that kissing her friend would make things more awkward. It was just a gesture of kindness on her part, and she wanted to make sure that he knew she wasn't upset. <br/><br/>Leaving the immediate area after the kiss, Elizabeth went to the other side of the space below decks to wait for her friend. Her mind was also concerned with what they would talk about in the dinner with the captain. It was a good idea for them to ask him to have her as a full member of the crew. But would the captain say yes? Her little run in with Hans had made it clear that she was different. Well, clearer than it already was. She had always known she was different, of course. But that moment, and the awkward ones shortly after, really drove the point home.<br/><br/>Pushing these thoughts aside when Hans spoke up, Elizabeth peeked in on the place where Hans was. Making sure he was decent, she came closer to him.<br/><br/>"All right, let us go up", she replied. Walking up to her friend, the girl fixed his shirt and tried to make sure his hair looked better.<br/><br/>"Sorry I yelled at you, Hans. It was silly of me", she murmured, before grabbing his hand. "Come on, we must not keep the captain waiting".</div>
