How To Be Civilized, Friday, Period 3

[1000yearstoolate]

"This week we're going to have an easy class," Seivarden said, smiling at the students. "This might seem like a silly thing, but as I know most people on the island have a problem with it, I felt it needed to be adressed."

She gestured at a table where food has been arranged, a selection similar to what you would find at a Fandom picnic. Mainly finger food.

"Never, ever, eat food with bare hands. Not even with a knife and fork of course, but definitely not finger food. There's cutlery available, although of course you can eat pastries with your hands, but don't stain your gloves like a five year old."

Looking around the classroom, Seivarden continued: "Well, that should be easy enough. And of course there's tea for you all."

This really made Lana wish she'd thought of fingerless gloves. Ah, well.

She was going to eat a sandwich. With her (gloved, alas) hands, because that was how you ate a sandwich.

And she had a blue-milk latte with her.

"That could be eaten with a knife and fork," S ivarden pointed out. "Not that it's completely unacceptable to eat it with your hands as long as you're wearing gloves."

"You could drink with a spoon," Lana said. "That doesn't mean you should. Sandwiches are designed to be eaten with your hands."

"That's a matter of opinion," Seivarden replied. "But as I said, you can eat them with your hands. It just comes across as a bit provincial."
