[Another moment passes, and then she takes it.]
Thank you. I don't know what they're for, but I'll try to use it wisely.

[If Rita is the hostage, it makes more sense for Estelle than he to have her likeness in a positive depiction. Small comforts matter. He'll just have to ask Lucretia's forgiveness if he ends up coming back without it.]

[After a long look, she carefully rolls it up (not folding it, you animal) and puts it away.]
