Oh? Do I?
[ Now he's a little amused - and flushed. ]
Should I ask?
[ Now he's a little amused - and flushed. ]
Should I ask?
I'm a tattoist~
[So surely it makes sense why her "fingers" trace over the impression of his "arm" in this unreal space. Just. Talking about tattoos.]
Do you have any ink, Your Highness? You have such a strong body, it feels a shame not to decorate it...

Of course. It would be shameful of me not to.
Ink...? No. Nothing except the mark I got when I arrived here.
[ Despite himself there's a little shiver that runs through his body. Or whatever this is. ]
I've never really considered tattoos. They're not common in my country.

You must allow me to open your mind to the possibilities... They were quite common in my world...
["Were", of course, because she is supposed to be Zenith and believe that her world was gone. Her fingers continue their casual, slow stroke along his arm.]
And I promise, I was quite well known for my skills.
Did you know even your Tribune has tattoos? Quite large ones, I hear.

[ It isn't the first time Yuri has told him such things. Previously, however, it was over Communion.
Will it be different, hearing such things from someone looking right at him? ]
You cut a dashing figure. Anyone with eyes can see that. You're gallant. You're kind. I know you've got a sharp wit.
[ He could say plenty more, of course. ]
As a bonus, though this is a matter of personal preference, your eyes happen to be my favorite color.

I hadn't heard that, but I also haven't inquired too much into his personal business...
[ She assumes a great deal of intimacy and it throws him off a bit. ]
As for me, that's something I'd have to consider very seriously before I decided to indulge.

[ Well, congrats Yuri. He's blushing again. ]
...that last part I was not expecting.
[ There's a low laugh. ]
And for some reason that's the one that makes me blush.

Oh, my~ Perhaps I was a bit forward, asking as I did, then... But I couldn't help myself... It's my interest, after all~
And I wanted his permission to continue my work in Springstar, naturally. I am not trying to ruffle any feathers just to get to my clients. ♡
[... Who are more in Kowloon than Springstar proper, but. Though he might expect her to be annoyed with his answer, putting her off with it being a serious choice...]
Of course you do. I do not do work on drunk men looking to mark their friends as fools or twitterpated women who think they are in love and want to mark their lover's name on their body.
I only tattoo that which matters.

[ Sure, Yuri can't see the one eye. Dimitri himself said this place decided to plant his Shard right there. But still. ]
Oh yeah? [ It's cue for him to lean again, propping his chin on the heel of his hand. ] Maybe you like the idea of being a favorite?
[ Teasing, of course.
But Dimitri is one of his favorite people. ]

It's a little new to me. But... it isn't unpleasant.
[ Understated, as always. ]

[ Here he was playing and Dimitri took it to heart.
What is he to do with this king? ]
It's not the only distinction you've got with me, but...
[ Yuri may as well admit as much. It might help Dimitri's confidence, and that would be worth being a little more forthright. ]
It is a lovely color, like the sky on a clear day.

I find that rather admirable, honestly, even if I've never really gotten into that sort of artisanal work myself.
[ And he does sound like he thinks that sort of thing is very impressive! Admirable, even. ]
Especially with tattoos. Those are usually rather personal, aren't they? If you mark your own body...

I'm happy to hear that it brings you joy to see it, then.
[ His reply is soft. ]
No - not just happy. I can't say what it is. But the fact that you can see that in my face...
[ He trails off thoughtfully. ]

[ That it brings him joy? Yuri hadn't quite meant to convey such a sentiment, yet he finds himself reticent to correct Dimitri.
It's not that he's wrong, exactly, but the word is strong. Direct. Yuri is painfully direct in some matters, but when it comes to sentiment... ]
Was it an odd thing to say?

No, I don't think so. It's just not something I'd heard before.
Well... no, I don't mind it at all. In fact, it's rather pleasant.
[ Dimitri almost does choke on his tea. ]
My - what?
My - what?
[ So it works every time.
Forgive him as he smothers a chuckle. ]
I mentioned them before, though that was some time ago.
[ And far more important matters followed since. Yuri simply remembers damn near anything to do with his people, and Dimitri counts. ]

...I think you're the only person who's described it like that to me.
