Word Count: 153
Rating: PG
Summary: Care and cleaning is essential.
Kankuro inspected the knife carefully, taking out a specially prepared polishing cloth and wiping the blade clean before sharpening it. It gleamed, a bright little death in his hand.
Kankuro plucked a hair from his head and tested the edge. It split the hair cleaning, and he made a satisfied noise.
Carefully, he pulled a small brush from the pot of poison beside him. He didn’t dare let a drop touch is skin; while he had built up a tolerance to the poison, he had no desire to spend the next three days violently ill. He gave the blade a thin coating and let it dry.
Then, holding the knife carefully in gloved hands, he loaded it into the spring and pushed it until it was once again hidden inside the puppet.
