The servant sits down and keeps an eye on him and when it becomes clear that this is going to take a while she takes some crocheting out of her pocket and starts working on it.

"Ooh, what are you doing?" asks Amber, who is not even facing her.

...Weird, but he's a strange kind of magic. She takes it in stride. "I'm crocheting a rose."

"Why?" He turns around.

"Because roses are pretty."

"What's crocheting?"

"It's when you take a hook like this and use it to turn yarn into bits of fabric."

"Ooh." He watches.

She continues crocheting.

"I want to try that."

"Okay. Um, I don't have a spare hook on me, we'll have to go back to my rooms."

"Okay."

She puts yarn and hook back into her pocket and leads him to her rooms. There she gets out another hook and asks what color of yarn he'd like to start with.

"Yellow."

She gives him the hook and a ball of yellow yarn and shows him the basics of crochet.

And he merrily crochets.

Once he has gotten the basics down she offers to show him how to read a pattern and do something more interesting than rectangles.

Oooooh. He will do this shawly thing.

She keeps an eye on him and corrects him a few times when he's made a mistake.

He fixes these and goes on diligently through the pattern.

He has not finished yet when, "It's getting towards dinnertime. Do you want to eat again?"

"I'm not hungry yet."

"Okay. Let me know when you are?"

"Okay." Crochet crochet.

She retrieves some snacks from a drawer and eats them.
