[After a little while, she gets something that looks mostly like the drink on the right in the reference picture. She connects it to the base/stem before getting a toothpick to start making some of the finer details]

This is fun, I haven't made anything like this in a while.

I'm impressed by everyone's alcohol tolerance. How does this look so far, before I fire it?

[It looks pretty great, actually. Obviously she can't get all of the fine details with clay but it's definitely a badass-looking dragon cup]

Oh good. Give me a moment.

[She'll carefully set the cup down and close her eyes as she gently curls her hands around the cup. Her hands don't glow, but if Catherine is close enough she'll probably start to feel some heat radiating from the cup as the clay starts to harden]

[Once the rest of the cup looks hardened, she'll pick it up to do the bottom before putting it back down]

Give it a moment before you try and touch it, it's still hot.

[nod nod]

You'd normally need an oven for this, right?

Yes. I still use one when I'm working on multiple pieces, or for larger ones.

Your blessings are so practical. You don't have to invest in clay, right?

[She'll help too, in addition to looking for a glass cup that will fit the base]

Not usually, though if I want a particular type of clay then it's easier to purchase it. I can usually make the clay I want, but not always.

Oh, there's different types? That makes sense, but I'd never thought of it.

[I need to point out that she (catherine) is awful in the kitchen and isn't aware of how ridiculously capable she's being now that she has been regaining more maomao]

Yes, it depends on the composition of the minerals in the clay. It affects the color and other properties.

[Good thing Maggie has no idea what Catherine should be like in the kitchen so this is definitely normal]

[hahahah Maggie might have to assume Catherine drank too much and that's why she stops and zones out looking at her hands sometimes a very very very very fair assumption]

I asked Rose Gold to help with the presentation too. I'm looking forward to this.




If Mr. Dokjaebi doesn't ask to keep the glass, I will.

Of course, of course--though your marketing advice has been very valuable already.
