Hans looks at Elizabeth as she complains about his messiness. He wipes himself off with relative speed and shrugs.<br/><br/>"Judging by the behavior of some of the crewmen, the captain has experienced worse."<br/><br/>He digs into a particularly large bit of beef before continuing.<br/><br/>"And I won't do any wenching, relax, but I really don't see why it's such a big deal."<br/><br/>He washes the food down with a bit of fresh water. He turns to the captain, who resumes the conversation.<br/><br/>"No worries about that, Hans is very much correct. I have seen worse - much worse. At any rate, you ought be more careful with what you say, Hans. Elizabeth looks to you to be better than the rest, I think."<br/>He smiles and keeps on eating, leaving the rest up to the children.<br/><br/>Hans looks at Elizabeth with a confused expression before looking down at his plate with a somewhat flushed face.<br/><br/>"Sorry, Elizabeth. Don't you worry about anything. In regards to training or anything else."<br/><br/>He keeps on eating for a while, finishing his plate with a far more restrained appetite. As he finishes, the captain gives a gentle cough.<br/><br/>"I suppose it is time to cast off. You two report to your positions, I need to get to the helm."<br/><br/>He rises from his chair and heads over to the door and opens it.<br/><br/>"Remember, you two - work hard, and you will be rewarded. Especially you, Elizabeth - the more you work, the closer you'll be to a peer of the crew. With effort and will, you'll get there. If not, I am sure Hans will carve some respect for you into the rest."<br/><br/>He chuckles lightly, and Hans smiles.<br/><br/>"You got it, captain."<br/><br/>He hops from his chair and makes for the deck.
