"I could do magic with them too," says Amber.

"What magic can you do with them?"

He separates off an inch of some blue cotton without scissors and loops it in on itself neatly so it's an unbroken ring.

"Oh, cool. You could do--fabric chainmail--like that."

"What's chainmail?"

"...I don't know how to explain chainmail. Let's go find someone who can explain chainmail."

"Okay."

She puts the plant yarns in a bag and brings it with and goes to find an armorer, who explains chainmail.

And Amber starts making fabric chainmail.

Both the armorer and the servant girl think this is really cool.

Yay!

Servant girl starts crocheting a hat.

Amber makes himself a backless shirt of fabric chainmail in varying ring sizes and patterns. He can pretty easily fix if it he doesn't like it.

"Pretty," she says admiringly.

"Thanks!"

"It goes well with the scarf."

"What makes it do that?"

"The colors look nice together."

"Oh. I wasn't thinking about that, I guess it's a coincidence."

She nods.

"Is that something people are supposed to think about with their clothes?"

"Yeah."

"Ooh." He adds streaks of yellow to the shirt.

"...Nice."

Amber grins.
