"All right, let's go back", she replied, starting the walk back to the ship.<br/><br/>When Hans said she had done a good work, Elizabeth showed a broad smile. She was in a really good mood after climbing the tree. And hungry, too, she had to admit. It seemed like the exercise and the tension had made her hungrier than usual.<br/><br/>She smiled and fell silent as the two kids found Charles talking to the captain. She let her friend do the talking and watched carefully as the conversation went. In getting that word of recognition from the captain, Elizabeth smiled again. "Aye, sir", she replied at the order to be freshly washed in the captain's cabin. One hour, she thought to herself. Just one hour and they would know what the captain had to tell them.<br/><br/>Shaking these thoughts off, she followed Charles still with the nest in hands. "If there are living little birds, don't smash 'em, Charles, please". Elizabeth's voice was nearly pleading. "In that case, I will put them back to their mother".</div>
