Stede is out shopping for fabric for various inn projects. In a pile of scraps he sees a piece of red silk. It's not Ed's but looks pretty similar.
He has still never asked the story behind Ed's silk. And he hasn't asked what happened to it. All he knows is Ed used to have it and it was important to him and he doesn't have it anymore. So he gets Ed a new red silk.
Ed immediately starts crying when Stede gives it to him. Stede is briefly afraid he has made a terrible mistake until Ed assures him that he hasn't.
