Ressa's eyes widened. She didn't know what to do. "Um... Are you alright now Abby? Do you need to sit down? Drink anything? Is it the baby? Your wound? Why were you crying?"

"I'm fine. It's the morning sickness. I'm crying because I'm scared and that you want me to help you makes me happy, no wait needed." Abby said giving her a smile. The she felt movement in her belly. Her smile grew, and she placed a hand on her stomach.

Ressa was extremely confused but she had heard vaguely of pregnancy mood swings. "Um... Maybe we should get you back inside. You're not dressed well for this day." She thought it would be better to be around people who knew what was happening to Abby. "But please," she stressed, "don't tell anyone. I want it to be a surprise plus I'm not even sure I'm going to do it. It's just... an idea at this point."

"I'm fine. I don't need to go back. Don't worry I won't tell a soul about your plan." Abby said with a smile on her face. "Do you have any more questions?" She asked

Marie sat.
"Umm...Thank You. So do you like travelling?Do you often travel? Do you have a nickname for the general-person?"She asked attempting to make some kind of conversation.

Ressa thought. "No questions really. Just sort of teach me what you know. How do I walk? How do I talk? How do I sit? How do I eat? What should I eat? What should I drink? Who should I drink with? Just teach me how to act like a lady. I've acted a man for too long."

"Would you like to start learning now?" Abby asked her new friend.

Dante smiled. "Yes I like to travel. Abby and I travel all the time because we're knights." Dante stopped for thom to add.

"I like to travel too, but not as often as my brother, and his wife." Thom said with a smile on his face.

"We call our general just Henderson." Dante said.

"Why not?" Ressa asked. She sighed.

"Okay." Abby stood up to her full height. "Now for walking like a lady, your shoulders must be back, and walk tall." Abby said.

Marie frowned.
"Henderson is a bit boring isn't it.Why not something more intresting like purple-face."She informed them.

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.*
