All things soft and warm

Nelu shifted the case to give Samiri easier access, sitting down as he did so. As he'd grown his height was becoming more and more apparent. He now towered over his companions and had to adjust when they did tasks together. He examined the stitching as he moved his paws. He couldn't help but look at something and wonder how it was made, immediately thinking up ways to make his own version of such objects. Especially with Samiri's help. Her deft little hands made delicate work possible and there were days he found himself jealous of her flexible fingers.

After Samiri finished filling the pillow the first go around, Nelu reached his paw inside and patted everything down, trying to get the filling evenly distributed. He then patted the outside of the pillow to test the tension. Hmm… not quite. He reached a paw back in and loosened the wool in area's where it was to firm, trying to get an even spread before motioning to Samiri to add more. Between the two of them they were making quick work, soon finding a rhythm.

Nelu listened as his mother spoke, explaining that she'd had more down time since the rain. She spoke of foraging grapes and berries and the amount of time that took. "If you like, next time you go I am happy to assist." Between the two. of them and their companions perhaps the task would not take quite as long. Also, perhaps if he got first hand experience with everything his mother had to consider and do, perhaps he could find away to make the process swifter.

His ears perked up at the mention of the kiln. "Quite well! I will soon be ready to test it and we can make adjustments from there. It will be so much more convenient to fire the clay in the castle and I believe doing it this way will allow for higher heat. Possibly more options when it comes to adorning the pottery." He wouldn't know for sure til he started his experiments but he did hope to make his mother something special once he was satisfied with his progress. Perhaps he could make her an assortment of ceramic berry bowls.
