"Thank you." It was the only thing she could say that really seemed fitting. All the same, embarrassment dropped her eyes to her lap and the decoration in her hands.
"Do you- " Rue began, but faltered, quickly editing her words. "This is a wonderful skill, making lace like this? I imagine it brings your family pride..." She let the words hang for a moment, questioning whether her intent was rude, or lent falsehood to her words.
"Is it- would you be able, well, willing to teach me?" She glanced up at the girl hoping not to have caused insult, to not have caused burden.
"Of course, you have other duties, so I would understand if you can not." She offered. It was a polite way out for the girl should she not have interest in such a thing.
