Toad looks at the knife in Moondrops hands...
"Yes, the crossguard needs to be replaced, it is memento of the time when that dagger was actually a sword... sadly the blade broke in a battle, and was not salvageable... so I sharpened the rest and modified it into a dagger... hmmh... We can make one more suited for you from hard wood, bone or metal... Oh, and what ever you do, do not try to knock someone senseless with the pommel... the ball at the end, that is a pommel... it is made to crack skulls rather that make someone unconscious..."
Toad speaks of cracking skulls while clearly deep on thought about the hand guard... then he looks at Moondrop...
"Oh! I know! we could use part of the beasts bone! it seemed hard enough... would that be alright with you, my good Swift?..."
Toads light blue eyes look at her, he has quite long eyelashes... there is experience in his eyes... Moondrop is young but Toad has seen a lot about the world and lived longer than Wander, or perhaps any of them in this tower... Toad suddenly says jokingly...
"Now now lady! you are making me blush!"
Moondrop might have looked him longer than intended!...
