He touched something on the handle of the hilt and it opened up. There was a tiny piece of blue core inside. And it was definitely tinier than my shards. 

"Isn't that a bit too small? And it was just a blue one?" Honestly, I was disappointed a little if nothing else. 

"Hah! You think I'd give you an expensive core for free? And trust me, I'll wring every penny out of you. Your old man made me work harder than necessary but never paid me. But you, you will pay me!"

His attitude sure wasn't making me feel good though. "So, how long will this take?"
