READER'S POV
"One, two, three. One, two, three," Vivienne instructed as I tried to waltz and my dance partner is Dorian except I kept standing on his feet a few times.
"Ouch!" Dorian yelped.
"Sorry!" I apologised for the 10th time today.
"My dear, you are way too tense," Vivienne spoke with a frown before she came over and placed her hand on my shoulders and made relax them.
"I've told you countless times to relax."
"I can't relax! I hate dancing," I complained.
"Maybe it'll help if we got Cullen as your dancing partner instead of me? maybe you won't feel a tense," Dorian suggested which made me blush.
"No! The last thing I need is Cullen laughing at me!"
Dorian chuckled before we felt Vivienne's strict glare. We got back into our position and then Vivienne gave us instructions.
"Now let's try this again and this time; relax and don't rush. You're supposed to glide, not stumble," Vivienne spoke before we tried again.
"Is she always like this?" Dorian whispered.
"Oh yeah," I whispered back before we continued with the lessons.
"I heard that! now get back to it!" Vivienne scolded us before we got back to dancing

Hours of lessons later, I am completely exhausted. I started to get the hang of the dance lessons after a while aside from Dorian having sore toes for a while. But, Vivienne is now teaching me how to walk and talk like a noble lady. She even suggested to Josephine about making up some noble background for me since I literally popped out of nowhere and I can't get in contact with my family for obvious reasons.
Thankfully, Josephine was able to make one for me and I was impressed that she was able to do this along with some help from Leliana so we were able to keep things discreet. Hopefully the Orlesian nobles won't notice anything off and they'll be impressed when they meet me and my brother. I headed for the tavern and headed for Sera's room. She looked surprised when she saw me before I laid down on the bed/couch that Sera sits by.
"Uh, hello Inquisitor, make yourself comfortable," Sera spoke sarcastically after I laid down.
"Sorry dropping by like this Sera, but I need hide somewhere for a while..."
"Everything okay?"
"Oh yeah, everything is fine except I've been stuck in Vivienne's lessons all week."
"*chuckle* lessons?" Sera chuckled.
"Yeah, with the peace talks coming up, Vivienne volunteered to be my mentor but she's so strict! During the dance lessons, she's instructing me by going 'one two three, one two three, wrong foot dear!' and when its not that, she's teaching me some table manners. What the frig is difference between a soup spoon and a dessert spoon?!" I told Sera and then she laughed at that last part before I laid back down and used my arm to cover my arms.
"Oh dear, sounds like you've had a rough time of it," Sera joked.
"It's not funny Sera. Vivienne is terrifying when it comes to her teachings and I can't say no to her."
"Don't blame you. It sounds like you need distraction and something to perk you up."
"What's that? buying a round of drinks?" I asked before she stood up and then she grabbed my hand and helped me up before we left her room.
