"Is that why you gave me the diamond thread?" I asked her as I continued to watch. I almost could not spare less than a second for a blink to rest my eyes as I looked at her.
"Diamonds are hard, it will be difficult to make one into a thread but I am sure I could find someone capable to make one for you and I will give you one," she feigned ignorance as she told me.
