Abby's World

Ressa frowned. "Don't I already do that? How come ladies are so elegant though? When they walk they don't bounce up and down with each step. I don't get how you do that."

"Well, I guess that you should watch I walk and try to copy me. Cause it's all in our hips." Abby said and hiccup.

Ressa's hand flew to her mouth, horrorfied. "All in the hips?!" She shivered visibly. "Wait a second... Are you sure you should be giving demonstrations? You're pregnant." She bit her lip, knowing that she was really looking for excuses. She couldn't help imagining herself in a dress, tripping over her hemline becuase she was ridiculously swaying her hips. The image was not pleasant.

Abby cleared at her. "You miss will watch, if you want my help." Abby said then she smiled. "Just watch." And Abby took a few elegant steps . She gave Ressa a small curtsy.

Ressa almost cried at the small mannerism. She had forgotten that she couldn't even bow. It was such a fundamental trait to her. "Um... OK. I'll try now then. Hey, does this mean I can hit girls now that I'm one of them?" She joked. She felt very babyish learning to walk all over again.
Stepping forward, she immitated the elegant steps but it felt very forced to her and the steps felt very small like she would topple over. Her curtsey was terrible though.

"Yes you can get into fights with other girls." Abby said with a chuckle. She walked over to help Ressa with her curtsy. "Don't lean to far forward, because you end up throwing your center of gravity off." Abby said showing her again.

"What am I supposed to do with my hands if I'm not wearing a dress?" Ressa asked quickly as she stumbled through another curtsey, only slightly less likely to end up on her face than the first.

"They should hang at your sides. However I tend to box out." Abby said. "Maybe you should stick with a small bow."

Ressa grimaced, chagrinned. "I've never seen a girl bow... except when I looked at my reflection. I'll work on tonight. Can we skip to table manners?"

*Shall we skip to the next day, everyone? I don't really want skywalker to have to come up with tons of research about Arthurian table manners. Remember that Rea and Ressa share a tent.*

Abby nodded. "Table manners. That's gonna be hard for you." Abby said "Why don't we call it a night?" Abby asked.

*Fine ruin my fun, I like to look things up.*

*When we skip to morning, Ressa's been taught all the stuff about being a lady basically. She practiced it at night, sneaking out of her tent when she judged Rea to be asleep.*

Ressa blinked in the bright light and stretched. Today was the first day of the 'holiday' and she actually dreaded it. She rolled over in her sleeping sack, remembering that she was sharing her tent. "What would you like to eat?"

Abby woke to wanting food. "Dante will you get up and get your pregnant wife food?" Abby asked and smacked him on the head. "You good for nothin lazy bum get up."

Dante let out a snort. "Yes sir." He yelled, casing Abby to roll her eyes. Dante looked at her. "My love how are you feeling?" He asked with a coy smile on his face.

"Did you call me sir? Well I'm hungry." Abby said getting up.

Marie was still half asleep.
"I know I've got to milk Bessy but can't I do it later?"She said rolling over as if to go back to sleep.
A few seconds later she promptly sat up and looking at Ressa went bright red.
"Oh yeah, food.I'm not fussy."She mumbled.

Ressa chuckled and sat up. "Is Bessy a cow or a goat?" She got up and went to grab some eggs. She went outside, still being able to converse with Rea, and started a fire.

Marie pulled her blankets around her and crawled to join Ressa.
"Cow."She answered simply, almost drooling at the smell of the eggs.

Dante join Ressa and the girl. "Good morning, do you mind passing me the eggs. I need to get food to Abby before she gets all mad at me."

Ressa sighed mournfully as she passed Daunte the eggs. She went to get more. "Sorry, Lady Rea of the milkmaids, you're going to have to wait a tad bit longer for breakfast. I'm afraid pregnant women get served first." She grumbled underneathe her breath.

Dante took the eggs and muttered under his breath. It sound like why me? He quickly fixed some eggs for Abby and passed them back to Ressa. "Sorry about that, Abby has a bad temperas it is, and now with these hormones her temper is increased." Dante said with a sigh

Marie was looking darkly at Ressa when she noticed that Henderson was walking near their tent. This sight sent her scurrying back into the tent faster than a cheetah.

"What's up with- Good day Sir!" Ress exclaimed suddenly, getting to her feet quickly and saluting. "The holiday set to begin Sir? Are you doing something special for it?"

"No." He mumbled and stalked off.

Ressa blinked and sat back down. "He's not in a very good mood..." She turned to Rea, coming back into the tent. "You want breakfast?" She held out the eggs.

Marie fell upon the eggs at once and soon there was not a siece of egg remaining on the plate.
"Thanks."She said.

Ressa ate some herself and then took a deep breath, steeling herself. "Hey, Rea. Entertain yourself- without breaking any laws or annoying Henderson please. I'm going to be gone for a while." SHe walked out of her tent and ran over to Abby's. SHe peaked her head in. "Abby!" She hissed. "Can I please borrow-" She gulped. "Borrow a dress?"

"Well you're not the one I wanted." Abby said looking mad. "You can borrow a dress. Come in, in that trunk there." She said pointing to the trunk that was open. "Did you see Dante?" She asked.
