Chapter 203 - For Me?
The next morning passed for Ren without incident. He had asked Ereka to make all the arrangements to move the silt operation out to the mines at the end of the week, and even managed to give the list of items to be made for the shop to Tee-one. Ren was a bit surprised when he arrived at the mines for his medical inspection, and the healer Deresdra never mentioned anything that had happened the other day; then he remembered that Nathalia had told him that if he didn't mention it, neither would the healer. Everyone was back to working in the mines, and Ren worked his full 8 hours before he knew it. After checking on the baby fire elemental, he gave it more food; then decided to work on the stained glass windows now that he had a bit of spare time.
Ren called Nathalia on the Sending Ring to tell her he would be working at the mines for a little while longer, and would see her at supper. He took out one of the crates of diamonds that he had, picked a good-sized one, and grabbed a handful of molten steel from the smelter. He worked it into a formed handle, and set the diamond into the tip of it, with the pointed end sticking out instead of the flat end. Once he had a good scoring tool made, he needed a larger place to work. The baby fire elemental's pen took up most of the space on the workbench that he had there, so he built another larger one to use.
Ren wanted to do the Fire Deity stained glass window first, to honor Fire Dancer, so he took out several panes of glass and dyed them red, orange, yellow, white, and blue. He thought about an appropriate picture for light to pass through, and smiled as he drew out a design. Once the design was done, he memorized it, and repeated it on each pane of glass. He took out one of the normal panes of glass to practice on, used his new scoring tool and ran it along one edge of the practice pane, firmly gripped the cut part and the pane of glass, and broke the piece of cut glass off. Ren stepped back to wait for the popup.
