"Yeah. Anyway, congratulations on your dirt!"

"Right! Should I do another thing first before cloth?"

"Nah, try cloth, I don't think it can turn out that badly."

Cloth!

She eyes the cloth speculatively. "Do glowing rocks continue to glow when broken? Are any of the plants you can make berry-bearing?"

"Yyyes, and... I think so? What are you thinking?"

"Dyes!"

"Are you going to make glowing clothes?"

"Why not?"

"Good answer!"

"Plus, glowing clothes seem likely to...behave less transparently."

"Maybe. I've never worn glowing clothes before."

"Neither have I, I'm just guessing from the way other light-related stuff seems to work."

"If it glowed and was still transparent you might get weird silhouetting stuff going on..."

"Silhouetting is still better than, like, details."

"Yeah."

"And if we do needles and thread eventually I can do glowing embroidery."

"Ooooooh."

"I'm not super great at embroidery but I know enough to start out with!"

"Cool!"

"Growing up in a Duke's castle leaves you surprisingly well-rounded!"

He giggles. "I'll bet!"

"What was your family's title?"

"Uh, I dunno if there's a good translation, but the word is ruir."

"Does your language thing give you any information if I say--Duke, Count, Baron..."

"A little? Does it help if I say there aren't - gradations like that, it's just a bunch of ruiri and a king?"
