Sookie certainly appreciated Lucas' can-do spirit. But had she heard his thoughts, she also would have cautioned the fact this was more difficult (and messier) than it had seemed like it would be! Although, perhaps it was good she did not know to mention that, as perhaps it was only HER that had not been able to get the hang of it. A very valid option that might have wounded her pride just the slightest bit.

A bowl was an excellent option. Not too difficult of a shape, but still plenty of surface area for customization once they reached the glazing stage. Hearing Lucas mention his plans to gift to his wife if everything went well, she gave a soft laugh. "I imagine your wife would appreciate it even if all did not go well." It was the being considered by one's partner that was important, after all, wasn't it? Not that she'd really had one long enough to know that for certain but... with the relationships she'd had over the years the little things had been what she appreciated the most.

Ah, yes. Atlantis. It was difficult for Sookie to repress the desire to flinch at the mention - the guilt she felt over that whole ordeal and her introduction to the ministry was immense. Even if she technically had not done anything wrong herself, her department had a large hand along with DIMC and the Minister's office in orchestrating the event. It had been quite regrettable for the captives to have been taken away from their lives and families for so long. She knew a many of them were still getting their life back in order. "Ah.. yes. I imagine it would be difficult to jump back into things outside of work, isn't it?" Probably difficult to jump back into things AT work too. She admired the fact he'd even shown up for another ministry wide orientation event after the prior. "I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. Is this your first time creating something?" If so, colour her jealous.

Seeing that Lucas was all set and she could not see anyone else in immediate need of attention, she decided she would take a moment to sit with the gentlemen and create something of her own. Taking the next open potter wheel, she adjusted her apron over her clothes again and reached for her own clump of clay to put on the wheel. What was she going to make? "I think I'll go for a vase for flowers in my office. Though, do not quote me on that as I might change my mind to whatever the clay tells me it desires to be." Which she was very much doubting would actually be the desired vase. She grinned at both of her companions before getting to work.
