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."

Seivarden turned away looking slightly nauseated.

"Perhaps try something made of plastic next time."

No, she wasn't being serious.

At some point, she might learn to stop giving Mae ideas.

“Plastic’s bad for the planet.”

This would not stop her when she had to find hand coverings at the last minute next week.

"Yes, because this is an uncivilized planet that can't deal with waste," Seivarden said. "Not my problem."

"I mean," Mae said. "You are living here."

"Not for long enough for people to make the whole planet inhabitable," Seivarden said.

"How do you know? Anything could happen at any moment."

"That's not the point of this class," Seivarden said. "Take your philosophical questions to someone else."

"The point of this class is stupid," Mae said. "What do you think fingers are even for?"
