«Wow Boss, you look so skilled!» Tao stares in awe as Frankenstein blows air into a blowpipe, resulting in the formation of a bubble large as one of his fists.

«You saw me do this before, Tao, no need to get so excited every time.» He answers, letting the bubble cool down before starting to work it into shape.

Frankenstein had been alive for more than two thousands years so it's no surprise he knows his stuff when it comes to crafting, but his level of skill is something praiseworthy. As the perfectionist he his, Frankenstein probably spent a lot of time trying to master handicraft to obtain what he wanted the way he wanted it. His dedication is admirable, and maybe maybe - Tao is a bit jealous of it.

«Still, to think you are this good even after all those years you didn't practice...»

«Who didn't practice?» Frankenstein gives the last touches to the elegant cup he just created, leaving it to cool down and harden.

«Didn't you buy glassware from shops when it started becoming popular?»

«I never did.»

«Then what about the things we have here?» Tao looks puzzled, Frankenstein's vague answers leaving him more confused than before. He can't mean... Can he?

«Wait, did you make them? ALL of them?»

«Where did you think they came out from?» Frankenstein gives an exasperated sigh.

«IKEA?»

Frankenstein narrows his eyes to Tao's words, looking almost disgusted. «Please, I did not spend two centuries in the Roman Empire mastering glassblowing to end up buying cheap crap from stores.»


Notes:

I still can't believe I posted it. Really. I'd love to tell you someone possessed me and made me do this (because sure as hell I would never do it on my right mind) but I did it so yeah, my fault.

I was really motivated to write something because this is such a good fandom filled with kind people, so I guess I just wanted to contribute with something mine. Here it is.

IKEA I swear I love you, really. No hard feelings.

I thank you for the time you'll spend reading this instead of doing something else. Notice that English isn't my first language so 99% there's going to be some mistakes PLEASE point them out because I need to learn how to write prose. Thanks. 。◕‿◕。
