Casa glanced up as Ameris demonstrated the dragon's specific instructions, carefully sitting herself down calmly. She watched and pursed her lips. Careful, well thought out...she'd have to learn to think before she sat, and practice every time she went to have a meal or went to study in her rooms. Standing slowly, she pushed her chair in, waiting for a couple seconds.
She then pulled it out slowly, creating just enough space for her body when she sat. As she paused, she went to reach for non-existent skirts, but realized there were none. That made sitting MUCH easier! Sitting down, she went slowly, trying to emulate the gold rider's demure, gentle nature. She was sure it was much gangly limbs and awkward staring at Ameris, but it was an attempt.
"So...do we do that for other people too? The whole chair pulling out thing?" She'd seen men do it, but never a woman. But why couldn't women do it? If it was polite, shouldn't they do it? Already these things had more rules that she was used to having to deal with for things like chores and Hatchings. Chairs shouldn't have rules too...
