"You'd think there'd be nothing left on these things with all the smoothing we do." She said, plopping down by the tree and taking the gandr in hand. Not that it was starting to look near naked or anything but she didn't want it to end up like that plant she was meant to give a 'healthy trimming' in Herbology. That...that would have been a disaster.
She was being extra careful, trying not to smooth away too much of it for just in case reasons but there just always seemed like another edge or bump that needed attention.
"Here you go."
She tossed the tool to him when she was done. This had become like a routine by now.
Mo had abandoned his hazel tree a few days ago, since the directions didn't say a single thing about where he was supposed to sit while he did his smoothing. It seemed safer, since Lex liked to chuck things at him and Mo wanted to keep his face 100% intact.
He accepted the tool from her and started smoothing, gently now that all the bumps were gone. "I think it's about handling it for a month, rather than about it needing much smoothing now. Like I wouldn't smooth too vigorously or you'll end up with a magical toothpick." He made long smooth motions across the length of his gandr that removed almost nothing each time.
"So that's it for today."
