He makes a cute little thermometer. WinkWatchful blue eyes and an eager little toothy grin...

Come to think of it, what all DID people use to measure heat for sensitive operations like clay IRL before thermometers? Was there some kind of a "is it hot enough to burn this thing yet" or "how fast does it turn a piece of metal red", or was it kind of trial and error and have you been working with it long enough to know by the feel+amount of kindling and time waited? Might be something to investigate...

Well, I know part of it was experience, and another part was specific rock-like stuff they'd put in there that would slowly melt. Looking at the rocks can act as a gauge of the progress/heat. Other than that, I don't know either.
And thanks about my bab, but it's a she Wink

      That's fine, it can be hard to tell if a dragon is lad or a lass

        Unless, perhaps, you are yourself a dragon. Wink

          Very true~ It would be interesting to show a dragon having a hard time sexing a different race, like humans.

            Sounds like a potential short story for somebody.

              Sounds like something I'd make a little story about.

                  Sure! I'll probably post it up here, after I finally get all of my older stuff up~
