Time To Unwind

Skælingr strolled to his travois and pulled out a bundle of sticks and wood logs for preparing a fire. He trotted back to the fire then set down two logs leaving a space between them. Next he set two more crosswise on top of the first two, continuing to leave a space for the kindling and tinder. Skælingr moved to the kindling bundle and took a number of small sticks added them to the middle. He carefully arranged them then added dead leaves and pine needles on top for kindling. There that was done.

He looked up at the sound of someone coming and saw a black and white yearling heading toward them. She asked if she could join them and he looked to his wife. She smiled back and nodded. "Sure, go right ahead. We're just taking in a nice summer day. Relaxing a bit, hobbies and the like. My name is Skælingr."

Skælingr meandered back over to the lump of clay just sitting there on the rock and he began to work and knead it. He wanted to make sure he got any air bubbles out of the clay so it would break or crack as it dried. Especially as he planned to fire these eventually. Once he was sure it was well kneaded he rolled it into a rough spherical shape.
