Krem smiled nostalgically. "I did a lot of the fine-craft mending. Things that needed needle work to cover up things, it couldn't just be patched. Not the most handsome embroidery you've ever seen, but remarkable, especially when I was ten or so."
He tilted his wine glass to her, shrugged. Ate some more of everything before he continued. "My mother wanted to marry me off to that clothier or his eldest son so badly."
