51st of Spring, 513 A.V.
Gaius rushed into the Inner Fire Glass shop in Syliras, ducking inside and moving as quickly as he could into the back, hoping to avoid Leena. He'd been away for some time, and he knew it. He was surprised if he still had a job. But that was the way of it sometimes, getting pulled away by life and tossed about a bit before being allowed to return to the things one enjoys.
He quickly donned an apron and a pair of gloves, before moving to the large oven set near the outer wall of the workshop. Gaius opened it and stoked the coals, ensuring the oven was hot, before checking the crucibles inside. There were only a few, one of which was obviously meant for a piece of Leena's own work, and so he made a mental note to avoid dealing with that one.
Gaius took several molds off the shelves. The molds themselves were simple, almost crude pieces of metal and stone. They formed basic shapes, vases, glasses, simple things that any novice could work well with. He set a total of five molds out to work with, two that would shape simple, curving vases, two for a set of glasses that would require a bit of free handed molding to get right, and one that would, if used properly, form a perfect sphere. Useless in almost every aspect, but they generally sold well to the wealthy looking for interesting trinkets.
Gaius grabbed a set of tongs and went back to the oven, gripping a crucible of melted red glass in the tongs and slowly bringing it out. He moved it carefully over to the workstation and poured the glass into one of the vases and glasses before placing it back. For the other two, he pulled out a crucible of molten blue glass, carefully transporting it and pouring it into the molds. When those molds were filled, her placed the crucible back into the oven and withdrew the last remaining one that he could use. It was filled with green glass, melted and hot. This he poured into the spherical mold before replacing it in the oven.
Gaius quickly sealed the molds together and set them aside to form properly, smiling at his work. That done, he checked to make sure everything was sealed properly and taken care of, leaving no openings or chances for a disaster to occur while he was away. Then, he went off to find Leena, hoping that a profuse apology would be enough to save his job.
