The Monk's Scroll
The Monk grips this scroll outside the monastery, eyes fixed on it in pretended study as Edith approaches with food. He maintains the pose through their exchange, apologizing for his 'distraction' to sell the humble cleric image. Once Edith departs, he abandons the scroll for binoculars, its folds discarded on the ground.
