Strella's Sewing Tapestry

A small, handwoven textile spread across Princess Strella's lap as she sews, its threadbare edges and muted greens and golds blending into the dungeon's dim light. The fabric shimmers subtly as she moves, catching stray lantern glows that make the simple stitching appear almost alive. Romana notices it immediately upon entering the cell, its familiar, domestic presence contrasting sharply with the cold stone walls.
