It was one thing for her to be so undignified as to fail to manage her meal. It was quite another for Jack to actively take note of it. Reinette felt hot color come to her cheeks as he reached to blot the stain on her gown.
Her fingers itched to press his away, but on some level she recognized how inopportune that might be so instead the caught on silk as she willed them not to move.
"Truly, Jack." Reinette closed her eyes briefly on the idea that when she opened them this particular embarrassment might have passed. "It is fine. It is just a gown and I suspect hardly suited to this place anyway."
Reinette reached past him to place the food down, not accounting how awkward it might be. She only wished to prevent any more incidents.
"And I will master it soon enough."
That was directed towards her offending dinner, now matter how pleasant it tasted.
