"When I was a little girl, I always thought silk was made from the cocoons of butterflies. Wonderful little gifts for us whenever they grew their wings."
"Oh?"
"But now I know silk is made from the cocoons of a different creature. Larvea... ugly wiggly white creatures that are boiled to death. Then their protection gets un-spun and threaded back together by the hand of a skilled laborer. It's actually rather back-breaking and disgusting work."
"What does this have to do with us?"
"You see, silks origin was never something romantic. Not a gift of a butterfly. It was hard work and experimentation of mad men." Her eyes twinkled in that heartbreaking way both men knew too well. "And now it is something to be sought after with passion."
"Are you...calling us larvae?"
"Certainly not! But... I am saying my favorite undergarments are a beautiful cut of silk."
