Raising her head, she looked over at the Headmistress.

"Professor," she inquired curiously. "Have you ever taken classes like these?" It was not impossible for her to see a younger version of Professor Rae in the same kind of excercises as she and her friends.

"I did have to take a class just like this one when I was a girl," she said regretfully. "But I had to take it with my younger brother, and he was my gentleman, and he was too small to push in the chair so I had to help him... it was quite a mess."

"Ow." she let out a small noise, as she reach down to rub her newly stubbed toe. That probably wasn't proper etiquette, but this was also just a lesson.

Vaguely listening as the professor went on about table etiquette, the seventh year turned slightly pink as she slid her wrist off the table and placed her stubbed toe foot on the ground. "Er Professor? Just one thing. If we happen to er, injure ourselves when sitting down, what would be proper protocol for that?"

"You should politely request from your host that you be excused, and have your companion escort you from the room," Rae put her hand to her lips.

"Now, the serviette should never be used to blow your nose, although you may politely dab at your lips if necessary. Should you need to leave the table, don't crumple it, as that is a sign of dismissiveness. Do not fold it up, as that indicates that you believe they will just reuse the serviette without cleaning it. Instead, fold it in half and leave it on your chair. This indicates that you intend to return to the table."
