Aria showed her design off to Thal. She was commenting on the dragons so he smiled briefly. He knew she thought they looked good but still felt funny when people praised his stuff in front of him. Maybe it was a hold-over from his dad, but he still looked down on his stuff. It was negative thinking, though, so he rejected the thought and finished filling up the inks. There was still a fair bit of tracing yet to do. Then the shading. Then the colors. And then the touch-up. Yeah, a lot to do. He wondered if Aria wanted to space this out over days. He didn't have a problem with that. Whatever she needed. Even people without her ability (or was it curse?) sometimes did that. Not just because a piece was complex but because it got too intense.
Not for him though. He loved the intensity. The euphoria buzz that getting inked gave him was like nothing he'd ever experienced. Well, that wasn't strictly true. It was like the drugs. But it was a completely natural high. And it satisfied. He'd not had too done many yet. But maybe it was time for another. He'd have to think about that, about what he wanted to do.
Aria's eyes turned on him and strangely, an emerald city flashed into his mind, walls and buildings and spires of greens ranging from the deepest and blackest to nearly transparent glass, glowing in the distance. Interesting. Probably not for him. But maybe something in that vein. He'd give it more thought.
"You can start again when you are ready."
He smiled at her reassuringly. She knew herself. He trusted that.
"Alright."
And with that, he snapped the gun back on and got back to work.
[[Lucas and Sergei will both work until Aria and Rune indicate they are done or want to stop.]]
