"Much better", Amalia nods, "but from the tone of conversation, I conclude you're all actually boarding here? IN that case, I apologize for treating you without appropriate respect. Now, that means I'm out of luck with help... that's a dilemma, though - do I have any dresses that can be put on without help?"
That pondering, however, is interrupted by a rather agitated question from the door, to which Amalia just frowns, "But of course, I couldn't expect you to actually know the rules... . King Iotas the Fourth's statute on court dresses from 1538 was addended, certainly, but, to my knowledge, never actually rescinded... meaning a court dress according to that statute should be considered appropriate formal wear for any kind of social event. The fact that at the moment of signing said statute the King was almost certainly insane doesn't change that situation. Therefore, despite this kind of attire might look eccentric nowadays, questioning people on that is downright ride. But, of course, being that you're commoners after all, I'm willing to give it a pass... Now, that issue resolved, I suppose it's time for introductions. Amalia Gertruda Forsworth, pleased to meet you all."
