<div style="text-align: justify;">Elizabeth listened anxiously to the captain. She didn't think for a moment that she wasn't suited to be a full fledged member of the crew. She had been doing her share and pulling her weight, just like everyone else, after all. So why couldn't she be regarded as they were? Elizabeth didn't complain, though. It was good to know that people would not object if Hans chose to help her with her training.<br/><br/>It did sting a little to know that the crew would expect her to act like a girl. To act like a girl, she might as well have stayed home, after all. With a sigh, he girl nodded after the captain explained what she would be studying. Medicine would be fine. Cooking and tailoring would serve her well, too. In the end, she could make herself useful for the whole crew, Elizabeth thought to herself.<br/><br/>"Yes, captain, I will work as hard as I can", the girl finally spoke up.<br/><br/>Smiling back at Hans, Elizabeth nodded to him when he said he would teach her everything he learned. If he said so, she felt better.<br/><br/>When the captain talked about wenching, the girl blushed a little, and smiled again when Hans said he wouldn't do much drinking and wenching. "You better not be doing any wenching", she replied, half serious, and half as a joke. "But you should keep your shares for something you want to do", she completed.<br/><br/>Looking at Hans and how he spilled the juices all over his shirt, Elizabeth shook her head. "Hans", she called softly. "Where are your manners?", the girl scolded lightly, taking a peek at the captain's expression. She felt somewhat responsible for her friend as it came to manners and other such matters, and felt like it reflected badly upon her when he misbehaved.</div>
