Álarr turned to Ivy as the boy asked a good question about firing clay pots. "Firing the pots changes the way the clay holds together so that it holds water better. If you just leave your pots in the air and then fill them with water it will moisten the clay and cause it to lose its shape over time." An unfired pot could still be useful short term of course but he hoped to aid the pups in making something that would last few a through more uses.

Álarr used his paw pads to lightly smooth the outside of his own bowl. He pushed the walls out a bit farther until he had a decent bowl shape. His experience helped him move quickly and he paused every now and then to watch the pups. Ulmaria asked how she was doing and he nodded. "Yes, you're getting the hang of it. Try pushing the walls out a bit farther so you have more room to work. "
