Linde smiled as the others clapped and congratulated her on a fine performance, and she remained quiet and bashful about it for the remainder of the evening.

After they'd shot the breeze to relieve the tension for a short time longer, they all went back to their rooms to rest. Lonan back to his, Linde and Aetri back to theirs. And, as with the previous night, Linde cuddled into Aetri's arms, falling asleep with her head on her shoulder within minutes.

The next morning came all too quickly for the trio. Lonan would return to his studying of nobility while Linde and Aetri would continue studying the behaviors of nobles and slaves which meant another trip to the Noble District.

And on this day, Linde and Aetrius managed to observe several things which they'd either missed or not been fortunate enough to be shown last time including the following:

The nobility speak only to commoners in the event there is business to discuss. They do not speak to those of a "lower" social class than them. Lower nobility is fine, though there is condescension involved. But never to commoners unless they have some kind of business.

Secondly was that noble women in particular wore a decent amount of makeup when going out in public. If they knew they weren't going to leave their home for the day, or for more than one brief outing, they would wear very little makeup. But for extended trips into the city, heavy makeup was used including cheek blush, lip stick, powder on the face, and sometimes even face paints for family insignias or other cultural symbols.

Thirdly, they only saw two slaves today. But both slaves demonstrated a very particular action which was reflected by the one from yesterday as well... They walked with their eyes down watching their Master's feet, following directly behind them. And always at a distance of at least two paces (roughly 8 feet).

The day passed very quickly for the pair. They took a couple breaks here and there for meals and drinks, and overall caught two more things about slaves before the day was done.

One, slaves never spoke unless given permission by the Master or unless directly answering to the Master's request or orders. Two, Slaves never made eye contact with whoever they spoke to. It seemed like taboo for them to look anyone in the eye.

And that was their day. They returned to the inn in the evening and sat down to prepare for dinner, but first they needed to wait and see how Lonan's day went.
