It is possible to embroider with only one eye. If you have enough practice at it, it is possible to do stunning embroidery with only one eye.

It is also possible, if you know exactly what to ask for, to get the softest and most fragile of materials from the Bar, which is why the...well, in her hands it looks like an over-large handkerchief, but is actually a small blanket...seems to be ready to nearly float away but for the stitches set into it.

It isn't a tapestry. Its...a pictorial Edda. Or bits of one.

Hel's choice of baby gifts may be weird.

The girl bows her head. There's a slight hitch in her next breath.

"Thank you." Her voice is meek, grateful, pained and quivering, all at once.

If Hel were the slightest bit maternal, she'd offer the child a hug. She...really isn't, and is awkward and apologetic because she didn't mean to hurt the girl.

So she nods, and puts another stitch in the baby's blanket.

Sansa could speak of all that's in her heart, but she's too busy feeling it to think of putting it into words. She looks back at the blanket, her eyes blinking rapidly, an awkward smile on her face.

Eventually she curtseys once more. "It will be a wonderful blanket," she murmurs as she leaves.
