Alice had sat down to eat a little disheartened after Ophelia had ignored her earlier. She'd tried flirting a bit with Rivera and Sapphire, but sure enough, neither seemed to care. Which was probably just as well, they were starting to remind her how creepy the people at Emma's house had been.

So she focused her attention on Ophelia instead, leaning in very close to talk to her. "So, Ophelia, what kind of deserts do you like at a place like this?" she asked. "I kind of like anything creamy, myself," she whispered with a wink.

Um.. uh... hi... Ophelia starts blushing beat red.

[Esprit15]

Wait... Ophelia noticed her? ”Ah, sure... I assume you know the basics, right? Chewing with your mouth closed, elbows off the table, napkin in your lap once food is served?”

[Illven]

Wait... Ophelia noticed her? ”Ah, sure... I assume you know the basics, right? Chewing with your mouth closed, elbows off the table, napkin in your lap once food is served?”

The first two..... Ophelia remarks shyly.

[Esprit15]

”So, when food is served, you unfold your napkin and place it in your lap. The primary purpose of this is to prevent food from falling on your clothing, and allows you to be more discrete if you need to wipe food from your mouth.

Similarly, waiting for everyone to be served before eating is good manners. Don’t switch your knife and fork hand during a meal. Don’t respond to your phone while seated; at worst, excuse yourself to the restroom. Do not call out to the waitstaff; if you need something, a bent arm to get attention or a quiet word while they are passing is considered appropriate. Do not loudly criticize the food while eating.

It’s rather difficult to know what all you do and do not know... Is there anything that is not clear to you?”

[Zevox]

Um.. uh... hi... Ophelia starts blushing beat red.

"Hi," Alice says back teasingly, enjoying making the sorceress blush. "You didn't answer the question," she pointed out in the same tone.

[The TechnoGnome]

"Okay!" Emma said, before turning to Rivera and declaring, "Fetch me the Lost and Found Box!"

Bent arm up I'm guessing? Ophelia remarks showing it to see if she got it.

Um, I... desert.... Right... um.. I prefer sweet flavors. Ophelia pipes up.

"Okay!" Emma said, before turning to Rivera and declaring, "Fetch me the Lost and Found Box!"

"Right away your highness." Rivera curtsies before running off to get it,

[Esprit15]

"Correct. Don't look like a kid in class."

Ophelia tries to get the move down, and seems to do okay.

How's that?

Huh? Then why do like in stories, noble people always act like no one can ever learn it? Ophelia asked.

"For the same reason anyone would want to seem more important than someone else."

Emma waits patiently, and somewhat awkwardly, for her return. While she does, she watches the etiquette lesson that Athena gives and lets out an impromptu giggle at Ophelia's naivety.

Emma finds punching kunckles, a knife, a couple of wallets, odds and ends of jewelry, some purses, and a wand.

Want me to try, it could be dangerous. Ophelia warns.

But alas the wand is never tested.

For it is soon the latest hour. Time for bed.

Sleep comes, or does not come based on your carcadian rhythm.

The next morning though.

Ophelia seems tired.

How do you HALP?

Alice was the first of the little group to arrive to meet Ophelia that morning. With the weather warming and it not being a school day she was dressing even more shamelessly than usual, wearing just a fishnet top over a black bra, and a black mini-skirt that didn't even go halfway to her knees. She noticed as she approached how tired her sorceress friend seemed to be, and decided to try and help wake her up by running in for a surprise hug.

But Alice and running didn't mix very well. "Woah!" she said as she tripped a few paces from her friend, tumbling into her and ending up with both of them on the ground. With Ophelia's head resting right in Alice's chest. "Like the pillows, sleepy-head?" she teased as she got her bearings.

"Ophelia, are you alright?" Athena asks her friend. "I got a large, black tea this morning after I stayed up too late last night reading. Would you like some? It's around the correct time in the morning to get maximum effect out of caffeine... Don't worry, I'm not sick."

"Well I never, she should bow on the.... forgive me, Emerald Maiden." Natalie stops herself from ranting.

Oh... oh right. Ophelia remarks getting off of Alice before sipping at the tea not wanting to take too much.

”You should feel more alert in around half an hour if you take in enough,” Athena says as the girl drinks some. “Did something interfere with your sleep last night?”
