Elizabeth walks away from Gibbs without fully turning her back on him and stops beside the portion of wall she's just indicated. A quick check assures her that they are alone, so she applies the appropriate pressure to the correct spot. "I discovered a few others when repairs were being made."
The cannonball that killed Sao Feng had likewise made a wreck of the captain's quarters, after all.
"But this is the only one that leads," and she pushes it back, revealing the noise and light of the bar after an inch or two of darkness, "to the end of the universe."
The unfortunate thing is that the opening, small enough that she'd clearly have to duck her head and tuck in her arms when not pregnant, is not quite so easy to maneuver as it once was.
