At the description of the lawnmower, Guy tried to imagine what it might look like. He knew he could have gone to the shed in the courtyard himself to see, but they weren't allowed to access it during the day and he wasn't going to go there at night unless he had to for some other reason. Still, the name (and Edgar's handy explanation) made it pretty easy to figure out what the device was meant for, even if that wasn't what Edgar had in mind for it.
Pere would probably get some use out of a machine like that. Maybe Guy would mention it to the man once he made it back home. Even though he no longer lived with the gardener, he wouldn't mind dropping by for old time's sake.
When the journal was set down and extended toward him, though, Guy was out of his seat in an instant, leaning forward so he could examine the drawing closely as it was explained. He followed the scratchy lines with his eyes as Edgar went through it all. It all fell into place quickly, and before long Guy could see what it was meant for. The blade would spin at a high speed with the help of a motor and cut apart anything in its path. It was destructive, but the monsters here were dangerous enough to necessitate it.
"Looks gruesome," he said, smirking slightly as he fell back into his chair. "Where are you going to get the motor from? The lawnmower?" If Edgar ended up being able to utilize both the blade and the motor from that machine, then he'd really made a good find! Even though the man's first invention wasn't even completed yet, Guy was already excited to see this next one in action. It looked like it might be cumbersome to carry, but it would probably be worth the overall function.
