<div style="text-align: justify;">Elizabeth made an expression she always made when upset. She knew that the captain had probably seen worse in matters of behavior. But she didn't want Hans to behave like all of the other crewmen. She wanted him to behave properly and honor her teachings. Still, she didn't argue with him. "I do", Elizabeth replied simply when Hans said he didn't see why wenching was such a big deal.<br/><br/>She sipped some water herself and smiled at the captain.<br/><br/>"It is all right, Hans", Elizabeth replied at her friend's words. She finished eating her own plate and nodded when the captain said they should report to their position.<br/><br/>She stood up and started organizing the table as the captain gave them the last bits of advice. It was part of her chores already, as she would always lift the table after the captain had eaten. So, it was carrying the dirty dishes and silverware that Elizabeth moved to the door.<br/><br/>"Thank you, captain", she still murmured before slipping out and reporting to the cook to help him with the cleaning up and anything else he needed of her before she could go back to the deck.<br/><br/>While she washed and scrubbed, Elizabeth's mind worked. She didn't feel particularly happy with the idea of learning what were considered women's tasks. She wanted to be treated like a crewman. But that was apparently not about to happen, at least not easily. So, Elizabeth decided she would heed the captain's advice and try to be patient. Her chance would have to come, one day.</div>
