It's a terrible day for rain

Nelu had lost track of time. He’d been working on creating pigments and glazes for his ceramic projects. It was an intensive process and he didn’t want to stop midway and ruin his experiment. Of course the result was that he was running late to Audra’s funeral. He’d seen the woman around and knew of her but he’d never really spoken or connected to her. Still he knew it was important to his family so he cleaned up and headed to the gathering. He didn’t know what to expect and so slipped quietly in at the back.
