The grinding stone. Maestro delighted in it, delighted in it as much as he did in chess or murder. It was a simple device, a wheel-like device that rotated in place, sat upright, against which a man put the curve of his blade. The high pitched squealing of the metal wrecked havoc on the ears, but Maestro loved it, seeing the edge of the blade growing sharper and sharper,the point refined so that it would cut through a man as easily as through butter. His palm lay against the flat of the blade, turning it at just the right angle, allowing the knife to strike the stone so that it sharpened without breaking.
It grew loud enough that the mammoth Goobbue startled awake and, gripping his malformed head, rose upwards. At seven feet tall he nearly touched the roof of their room overlooking the nearby waterline, and the sun pouring in offended the newly-awakened giant's eyesight. He groused as he looked away, finding Maestro there, turning his blades onto the grinding stone.
"So glad to see you alive," Maestro said with a grin, waving the knife in the direction of the large, deformed Hyur. "We've got work for you, you know. Or the Leader does, whatever. Not like I need your help." His smile spread over his face, teeth like daggers cut against each other. "Not getting started til it's real late though. Why don't you head outside and get some food? I know you're hungry."
