Gentle Fires

Kina settled in amongst the Runestones as she watched her fire burn down to coals. Aka was nearby, tending to a few of his own projects while Kina waited to try firing one of her clay pots. The man had showed her how to do the process and now it was her chance to try doing it herself. Kina took a long stick in her jaws and tested the coals. Ok, it was about time to give this a shot.

Kina had a few flat stones set up near the fire, forming a stable place to place her pots. She took a scrap of deer hide and placed it next to one of the pots. Then carefully, setting her paw near the base of the pot she scooted it onto the scrap of hide. Taking one corner and gently flipping it over the pot, she then took the other corner to meet it. Taking the hide in her jaws she carefully walked over to the fire. She set the pot down on the furthest stones and left it on the hide for now. She would need the hide to rotate the pot to ensure even drying anyway.
