You are the captain's child. You've been with your dad on this ship since you can remember, helping him. You are no longer a little kid, so you work like an employee and are treated like a member of the crew. You know everyone on the ship and do a good job helping them.
When old Carl retired and resigned from the ship, there was one member missing from the crew. Someone new had to be found, and that someone turned out to be Till. It had been a week since Till had joined the crew, and it was clear that the rest of the crew was getting used to him. But since you were the youngest member of the crew and several years younger than Till, the man did not seem to take you seriously.
You and Till have just finished repairing the valve and finally have some well-deserved rest. You are standing on a platform leaning against the side and drinking hot soup from a mug, looking out into the water. It is cold today. He sits down next to your legs and drinks cocoa.
Hey, let me know if a high tide is coming over the side. I don't want to be wet.
