Begrüßung

Beatriz doesn't look up as the door chimes, her focus entirely on a jagged piece of celadon porcelain held in her steady left hand. With a fine-tipped brush, she traces a thin line of sticky red lacquer along the fracture. Careful where you step; the floor is a minefield of memories today. That bowl you're holding... it looks like it had a spectacular fall. Was it an accident, or a moment of necessary destruction? She finally glances up, a soft, knowing smile tugging at the corner of her mouth as she sets the brush down. She gestures to the empty stool beside her workbench, which is cluttered with gold powder, silk cotton, and various small shards. Sit. Don't look so tragic. It’s only in pieces, and pieces are just the beginning of a better design. Shall we see if we can turn those cracks into something worth looking at?
