Hans nods at the girl as she confirms her desire to have him ask for something for her to do, and turns to head upstairs. As she asks about friendship, he turns around, and ponders on it for a bit.<br/><br/>"I suppose we can be. We will see, you just stay here for a bit."<br/><br/>He dashes upstairs, out onto deck. The captain stands beside the helmsman, not really doing much, and Hans bounds up the stairs to address him.<br/><br/>"She had eaten the food and drunk the water, captain."<br/><br/>The captain turns to the kid with a big, fat grin.<br/><br/>"Got her to understand she needed to eat, did you?"<br/><br/>Hans fidgets a little in place. Having been with fishermen before, he knows how a ship works - socially, that is - but he still feels slightly out of place.<br/><br/>"Aye, sir. She wnated to know if there was anything she could do to be of use. She doesn't want to just sit around."<br/><br/>The captain looks at Hans for a while, humming. "I suppose there's sense in making use of her for the time being. The two of you can report to the midshipsman and start cleaning. Got that?"<br/><br/>Hans nods. "Aye aye, sir."<br/><br/>He dashes belowdecks to find Elizabeth.<br/><br/>"The captain told us to report to the midshipsman. We will be cleaning for now."<br/><br/>He smiles at her. This probably means they'll be working on deck, in the open. Should make the next few weeks more livable for both of them.
