[ that's all the convincing it takes. their little side quest!! ]
It sounds fun! Maybe I'll get something to commemorate our battle with Vah Ruta... [ the sigil for the elephant or something ] Come, let's find an artist that suits us!
[ it's not going to work for him but i want to see a result pic of hers if you have one ]
Oh, you have to tell me about that. Yes let's do it!
[EXCITING! She selects a design, which I am still searching for a nice rendition of, and settles in for this impromptu appointment. She'll wink at Sidon as she goes, eager to see the results.
AAAAAND TIME SKIP?
She's all down, frowning up at him as the bandage is applied to her freshly inked shoulder.]
[ he's looking down at his own shoulder for his intact arm, where he's taken off his accessories. there's a chipped scale or two from the attempts, but otherwise nothing. ]
It's all right though! [ he's a little disappointed, but energizes as he takes a peek at her bandage ] Am I able to see yours?
[ otherwise forces you to show me in our next thread ]
[also while i'm on our pc page, just to justify the scale thing]
You lost some! Oh, that's a pity. [She picks one up, turning it over in her hand. It's a very pretty thing, quite fetching in the light. Not at all what you might expect once it's off the body.]
Oh, I think the bandage is supposed to stay on for a while? But I'll show you straight away, once it's ready. Tomorrow I think?
anyway he will temper his excitement solely because this is an INJURY. ]
Please do! [ he dies soon after this conversation ] An eternal picture... what a romantic notion.
[ but oh, he looks over the raw skin on his shoulder, rubbing it gently. no big loss. ]
Ah, it's all right, they'll grow back in no time at all. [ the scale she has, now that it's dislodged, does seem to sparkle at the right angle in its slight translucency. ] Why don't you just keep that one?
[ ... ]
...Oh, maybe that's a strange sort of gift for humans! But they have some significance for us Zora.
I could? [She blinks.] I — well, I'd be honoured to. It's really quite pretty. And I think it's not so strange, actually?
[She smiles warmly. Sure, locks of hair were something curiously intimate, but in the realm of story there was a strong culture of taking pieces and prizes from the bodies of friends and foes alike.]
Thank you very much Sidon. I'll keep it close, always. [She presses it to her heart as if to commit to the bit right then and there.] Though it's a pity we couldn't get you a tattoo today. Maybe we'll find you another souvenir somewhere.

he's snapped out of his contemplations as he watches one of the artists work. ]
—An inkwell? [ it is on the nose, but it's a curious one. ] Is there a story behind that?
no subject
It's just a thing. To remind me of what's important.
After all, would you want someone else to write your story for you? Or take the pen for yourself?
no subject
Oh—well put! Of course I'd rather steer the course of my own destiny!
[ it doesn't have the same weight to it for him as it does her, but he immediately understands the spirit of her choice, and what it speaks of her. ]
Is this the next chapter of the story you're writing? Getting a tattoo? [ IS SHE GONNA COMMIT ]
no subject
I don't know that it's enough for a chapter, but a little side quest suits me just fine!
[She grins bright and moves to sign up.]
You should get one too! Come on, I dare you.
no subject
All right!

No, it seems that my skin is too different...
