| Oh, my, did I enjoy this chapter! I think I mentioned in past reviews or journals that I used to do pottery myself, so much of this chapter really spoke to me. I can see why pottery was relegated to men; although we are lots freer with gender assignments these days, it still takes a tremendous amount of strength to manage the large amounts of clay required for truly big pots - even with the assistance of electric throwing wheels. Clear and excellent explanations for the preparation and creation! And as always, your characters are vividly realized. I particularly loved the potter's common-sense approach to marrying one of his daughters to his apprentice, and the same approach to the Elf over-paying for his wares. I also loved the bright spot of hope that visiting with an Elf brought to the family. Author Reply: Heh! I was thinking of you specifically when I decided to write about the potters. I've owed you this one for quite some time. ;)) | |

| Ah, indeed a day of good omen, particularly as the healer Elf has benefitted Euney well. | |
