Casa frowned when she heard Ameris' reply, beginning to open her mouth to argue the point before snapping it shut again. Ameris probably didn't want to argue the point, but it didn't make much sense to her...why couldn't it go both ways? Did men pull chairs out for other men? There were plenty of men who paired up together, especially with the green flights. Did all men pull out chairs for women then? Or was it for special occasions only...
Shaking her head and shrugging it off, she glanced at Mizeath when she inquired about her ability to walk. She had seen the way some of the ladies of the weyr walked around -little mincing steps that made them sway awkwardly and take forever to get places. She'd also seen how most men walked - like herself. Stomping around or moving heavily but efficiently. She knew she fell squarely into the second group, and she glanced at her feet guiltily.
Standing up, she walked from the table to the door, almost wincing as she could feel both Mizeath and Ameris' eyes boring into her back. She turned around slowly and walked back, clumping the whole way. She made an effort not to be so loud that time, but she knew she was still moving in big, awkward steps. She frowned, glancing from her boots back to Mizeath in partial dismay.
