The Clay woman is in the middle of her work. The belly of a clockwork elephant lies open, and she is placing the gears to drive its trunk. "WE TAKE NO COMMISSIONS," she says. "WE ONLY FIND HOMES FOR OLD HEARTS."Description summary:
The beginning of the description depends on your progress in the story and if you have an Albino Rat.
 Playing with Broken Toys | First Paragraph |
|---|---|
| 10 | Behind the worktable is a Clay man – no, a Clay woman. She wears a gown, one made for a human, and she has torn the sleeves to leave her upper arms uncovered. |
| 11+ | The Clay Artisan is hard at work, just as she was when you saw her last. Either she does not recognise you, or she does not choose to acknowledge that you have met before. |
 Albino Rat | Remark |
|---|---|
| Yes | The Albino Rat squeaks surprise. "Whoever formed her face, they tried to make her look like the Watchmaker's Daughter. It is the same nose." |
