Voice from Open Habitat

Real-world / in-world transferral of etiquette

As the students arrived there was chat about appearance etc. One of the students shared some revealing clothes with Marianne who became a little uncomfortable when she tried on a top with a plunging neckline more suited to the oldest profession in the world rather than a philosophy tutor. This did help to break the ice though as did each time a student arrived and sat down facing away from the group by accident.
