Once you've mastered sitting, try spreading your skirt a bit as you sit in order to avoid creasing it in the back."

HAH! Wait till Issy told Fredreich that one. A good dining companion doesn't remain seated while a lady is standing. Hehe, she would have to tell Fredreich and Mattio. Thinking this to herself, she giggled. Then for good measure, she practiced the standing. Rising slightly, having to hold on to the table to hold herself up (how shameful, she couldn't reach the floor until she slipped out!) she nudged the chair back. Heehee. There we go!

Again, she tried the seating. It was easier now that she anticipated the chair coming to slide in. Once slid in all properly, she pursed her lips. Spreading her skirt...? But... shouldn't she cross her legs?! Chewing her lips, she spread the skirt out on the chair, keeeping her legs together at the knees like a proper little lady.

This was like a biiig tea party. With out the tea. Or Fredreich. Fredreich always attended her tea parties.

Turning to her other side, she grinned at Melly.

"This is FUN!" she squeaked, delighted.
