With the threat of behave or die hanging over their heads, Hinawa is feeling very nervous. She's only tangentially familiar with the rules and regulations of formal dining and mingling, having only experienced it for the first time during the Celebration, and for the most part she's just a simple country gal. The last thing she wants is to get everyone in trouble because she used the wrong fork, and she can't help but feel like she's not the only one, so she comes up with a plan!

She only hopes it'll be enough.

[This is a mingle-ish! Jump on in!]

Peridot's here. She's mostly observing everyone else, trying to pick up some tips and tricks without interrupting to ask questions, because that just seems the most prudent way to go about things. It'd be hard for her to miss that scowl, though. They haven't talked much since Portland, but she remembers Miko's temper well enough.

"Wow. I don't think I've ever seen a human look so mad about food before," she comments, eyebrows slightly lifted.

Miko huffs, slouching down further in her chair and hunching her shoulders. "The food isn't the problem! Food is one thing, manners and rules and fancy people etiquette crap is another!"

[periphrasing]

"That, we can agree on," she snorts, settling back with a flick of her tail. "We really can't afford to mess things up for the Ringmaster, though, so at least be thankful that you have some prior knowledge of how this stuff works. I have to learn it all from scratch!"

[pullingamiko]

"Why would I know how it works?" She honestly sounds downright offended at that. "Like, I get that you don't 'cuz you're an alien, but this isn't a... basic human education thing."

She pauses, then adds, "And if it was I forgot. Like, the moment they told me, I definitely forgot because I don't care."

[periphrasing]

"Well at least you know how things like meals work! I've never even eaten anything!" She frowns vaguely. "Not unless you count that soda I put in my mouth and spat out that one time. Or all the stuff in Portland, that I definitely don't have any proper recollection of."

“Uh… well.” This seems like it should be easy enough to rectify. Miko kind of… gestures at her food. “You kinda just put it in your mouth? Then you chew, then you swallow. Y'know, quick three-step process.”
