Sophie exhaled an audible sigh of relief. "Okay, okay, good. I've only recently gotten to work with real gemstones at all." She looked at Ivee. "She got her hands on a little bit of diamond somehow and gave it to me so I could practice." She smiled, looking back at the queen. "I'm glad I finally get to put that to use. Um. I had another question. Maybe you don't know, you've been trapped in the castle this whole time, but... does real silk still exist? I've only seen a little bit, back when I was younger, but it was on a traveler who left before I could ask where he'd gotten it, and I haven't seen him since. And nobody else has come through with it."
