Anastasia looked at Gerald and smiled. He placed his hands on her shoulders, fixing her posture, "I know your mother said you are allowed to act as you wish tonight... But I would hate if any of the Lords and Ladies didn't believe in you because of what they saw tonight," he walked around to the front of her, "Chin high, neck long, shoulders back."

Ana tried to do as he said but it was a lot to take in and it was just walking. She sighed, this was going to be a lot of work. Gerald smiled at her, "Don't think about it too much. Just be confident and don't fidget."

Ana nodded her head, "Confident, don't fidget."

Gerald walked with Anastasia back to her mother and the guard slowly. He watched her as she tried to heed his rules, repeating them over and over in her head. When her mother came into view again, she smiled, "Gerald told me to pick a corset dress... So that we could pull it tighter if needed.... Does... Does it look good?"
