Splitting the work

"Okay, so those are the five items we will work on and, as is my hope, complete before running out of the time we can secure in this place."

I took a deep breath as I displayed a total of five pieces of paper, each covered with intricate yet only roughly sketched drafts of an item.

This was the culmination of all ideas that both I and Claire came up with during the long process of sorting through all of the items we had on hand and then spending a whole other cycle doing nothing but studying various crafting manuals prepared here.

Now, however, with two whole cycles completed and acts ranging from standing cuddles, through both shallow and deep kisses, all the way to outright caressing each other, I could feel the pressure of the time mounting.

Because while coming up with ideas put a great strain on our creativity, it was never meant to be the most time-consuming process to begin with.
