Ambrya held her breath as Casa leaned forward to study her embroidery. She knew that her stitches were perfect and her technique was excellent, but it was always a bit disconcerting to show her sewing to other people. It was like revealing a secret part of herself. She exhaled in relief when the other girl said it was pretty and reached out to touch the silky shapes. “Thank you,” she said simply.
You should have more confidence in yourself.
Unfortunately, that's easier said than done.
Not for me. The gold sounded utterly self-assured and Ambrya couldn't help chuckling. She hoped that Casa knew she was talking to her dragon and didn't think she was insane for suddenly bursting into laughter.
“I probably wouldn't be good at it either if my sister had not begun to teach me as soon as I was old enough not to stab my finger with the needle. She's one of the seamstresses here and her embroidery is much better than mine. I remember how strict she was with me whenever I got impatient or sloppy. Now I'm glad she was hard on me. I make most of my own clothes too.”
She smiled at Casa. “If you;d like, I could embroider a couch cover for Thallyath after I finish this one. Though if she would rather have it embroidered by you, I can teach you. It's not difficult once you get the hang of it but it does take a fair bit of practice.”
