Etiquette, Monday

He pulled open the back door of the sizable car.
"There is the matter of getting seated, as well," he said. "You are supposed to sit down first, then swing your legs in later. This is good for both decorum, as well as avoiding flashing any body parts at your fellows."
He gestured at the car. Nothing had gone wrong yet; this had been a good idea. "Let us practice these two rules, taking order of arrival as order of prominence. After that, we shall move on to the next exercise."

Inside the car.
From the ceiling.
And the rain's leaving rainbow stains on every patch of skin it touches.
