"Of course." She pinches the brdige of her nose between a thumb and forefinger. Somehow this was more of a cage than what she had before, and not because she lived out at sea. There was a newfound respect for Preston for a moment, though it faded when she sighed and her posture shifted when her hand went back to her side rather than her lap.
And then eats the little cake because she needs to. He probably hates the portions she bites off, but at least she's not shoving the whole thing in her mouth. She's just used to eating in a rush, even when she tries to be mindful about it.

When she reaches for another cake her hand would get swatted by Francisco's wand.
"If you want more, eat like a lady! Hands in your lap and dainty bites!"

Roz makes a note to get a pocket or two on the inside of her clothes so something sharp and stabby is available at dinnertime as she places a hand on her lap, glaring at him as she barely takes a bit this time.
The air is full is silent snark.

"Good."
He would say as he too continued to enjoy his tea and cakes.

"So what else is actually expected of my position?" Nibble. Nibble. Freakign taking a freaking ten minutes to eat one cake? She hoped not.

"That's not for me to say or decide. I'm just here to teach you etiquette. Speak with the High Chancellor if you wish to know more about your position."
He would say as he grabbed the last of the cakes.

Rozalin decides to rephrase!
"You mentioned needing to speak to servants at some point?"

"Ah, yes. That's for cases when you need to organize a meal, sleeping arrangements, or keeping up with the cleanliness of the estate and such."

Surprisingly, Rozalin nods without any form of aggression or backtalk! It makes sense, even if it feels a little weird to think about. But a crew had to receive orders from their captain and those in charge, including keeping a ship in shape. It made sense; she just knew now what her role in that system was.
The books start to slide with the motion; she raises a hand to re-balance them.

"Alright. That's enough of a break for now. Continue reading!"
He would say, but he wouldn't be as intense this time...

A couple of hours go by and Francisco stops her.
"How far have you gotten in your reading?"

She stops and looks at him.
"A few hours' worth." She had no idea what he was actually asking, but takes a moment to look at the book and pinch a section of pages between her finger to display how much of the current book she thinks she read.

"Hmph, your reading skills are still a little low, but I'm sure those will pick up in time. But for now, let's review. Show me your posture and how to walk appropriately!"

She'll take it, since she never claimed to be a high-bred lordling. Letting the pages fall back, Rozalin would rise and walk, square shoulders and chin high. She had enough practice to go with the motions she remembered earlier. Small steps. Heel toe. Feel like she's barely crawling and be glad she's not wearing a gown or anything to make it worse.
She hated the sense of caution that it triggered. Being this particular meant walking on ropes in the wind or a slick deck, or trying to sneak past someone who would leave more than bruises in the morning. But she would endure, turning to face her tutor and await his grade.
