Jeremy's Child's Klingon Robe

A small, child-sized Klingon ceremonial robe—dark, heavy fabric tailored to a twelve-year-old frame with traditional Klingon trim and simple fastening at the throat. The garment reads as well-worn but reverent; Jeremy wears it during the private R'uustai rite while Worf removes his sash and places it over the boy. The robe absorbs candlelight and frames Jeremy's hesitant, solemn posture as he repeats the honor phrase.
