Jairek had heard the return of the hunters but unlike usual he did not go out to meet them. Instead he stayed in his little hidden spot to continue his work on the blade he decided to make. It was not that he did not care about the hunters or was completely neglecting his duties; he was close enough to hear if there was trouble. There had been nothing so far to indicate to him anyone had suffered an injury that needed tending, no limping shuffles, sounds of pain, or worried voices. At the first sign of actual trouble, Jairek would be there in a flash but for now he had his work to finishâ€¦ it was so close to completion.<br/><br/>It had taken a while since he found an appropriate size piece of that shiny black rock, which they used occasionally for spear tips, to shape it as it required such care. The rock was carefully chipped down relatively the shape he wanted and then he went about slowly smoothing out the rough edges. It had taking him days if not more to get it smoothed down to the point he was at now and be able to keep the ultra-sharp edge it had. Just a little longer and Jairek was looking over his work with a small smile, while avoiding touching the edge that had cut him so many times all ready in its construction.<br/><br/>It was not completely finished, he had the blade but no handle for it as of yet and he was still wracking his brain on that one. While the blade could not really be used much for anything due to its brittleness, it was still of fine craftsmanship in Jairekâ€™s and its incredibly sharp edge meant if it did get used it would really cause some damage before it brokeâ€¦ He just needed a handle for it but that was a project for another day. He carefully wraps the blade up in layers of fur and hide to insure it would not get damaged and it would not damage his things before he put it in his hide satchel. He grabs his walking stick and starts heading back to the cave, it was about time he started helping with preparations for the celebrationâ€¦ as well as making his escape plan for when the dancing startedâ€¦
