[ For the moment, he's just going to play with the clay a little, make the sides to up and push them back down, slow and steady, gentle and careful. He gets a little lost in it, in fact. ]

[Hange potters around for some minutes, checking on things, grabbing fresh clay so he can take his project from the top. When she's done:]

Randel?

[ She breaks him out of his seeming meditation hard enough that his hand shifts and he turns the 'vase' into a jumbled lump and he jumps a little before turning to look at her. ]

S-sorry! I didn't mean-

[ He looks down at the mess as the wheel slows. ]

I destroyed it.

Hahaha, Randel! [This reaction is not totally a surprise, but that doesn't make it any more necessary.]

Relax. It was just an example, not even fired. And even if it wasn't - I destroyed plenty of my own pieces learning to do this. The medium is great, because it's forgiving! Smush them all back down to the beginning again if you want!

[ He considers the advice for a moment before reaching forwaard and smushing it down. Then, considering, he wets his hands again and starts kicking the wheel. He's tentative but soon enough, it's going fast again. ]

Mess with that as long as you want, but the more you do, the harder it's gonna be to work with - it's already soft now since I worked it, and it's just gonna get mushier. Don't worry about the clay, though. We can reclaim it.
