Casa was unsure if she had been heard after the first, somewhat admittedly soft knock. She raised her had to repeat the sound, but the door opened from beneath her hand, leaving her standing there like an idiot. Blinking, she lowered her hand, following Ameris into the pleasant little hut. The sight of the homely place helped her perk up a little; she offered Ameris a hug and followed the woman past her son, making a note to speak as softly as she could. There was nothing worse than dealing with cranky tots.
As Ameris inquired as to what was wrong, she screwed up her face and sighed, her nose wrinkling in frustration. "Ameris, I need your help," she murmured, sitting at a seat she'd followed the pretty woman to. Sliding the pack off her back, she clicked softly and opened the top. Knack peeked his little brown head out from the top, offering a gentle, inquiring chirp to Ameris, and more importantly, Mizeath. He wanted to make sure it was okay before he left the comfortable blanket nest he'd snuggled down into as they walked over.
She paused as the brown glanced about, trying to figure out how to phrase what she wanted to say. It was hard, expressing she needed help. Even harder to say she needed it when she didn't want it, but knew it was expected of her. Finally, she just stated it as plainly as she could imagine. "I need to know how to girl." It sounded awkward, and she knew that wouldn't really explain why she'd really come.
"I mean, I know mostly about my parts, and I've a fair understanding of the actual act of sex - that's not what I came here to learn, I'm a smart enough girl - but I don't know how to be a lady. Alright, I don't want to, but it seems like all the dragon riders expect that from potential girl candidates, especially on the chance of a Gold, and...and...I'm bad at being a girl and I don't know the first thing about it!" The words came tumbling out of her mouth and she finally came to an end, glancing uneasily up at Ameris. "I came to you for help, because you are pretty and graceful and smart-" and here her voice dropped to a really low whisper, "And because you've got Mizeath, and she's bossy and a lady." This part she mumbled in a barely audible tone, frowning about at the world in general.
