[kentucky_mcgiygas]

[ The dawn of a new day brings a new game! Ronald is silent today — perhaps sulking? — but a new challenge has been provided on your tablets. ]

[locktouching]

Don't apologize. I wanted it.

[As he gets up, he pushes the same bottle towards Corrin's lips, even helpfully tilts it for him to encourage him to take a gulp.]

Better take this and drink up, Milord.

[Moves behind him to straddle him the same way.]

[locktouching]

Absolutely. My massages are famous where I come from. I've been practicing my techniques for years.

Do you want one now? Feel free to make yourself comfortable.

[locktouching]

That was quick. Shall we get started, then?

[That okay was affirming a massage, right? Niles moves to put his fingers on the back of Link's neck.]

[locktouching]

You're missing out on the best part. But very well... what do you want a tattoo of?

[andascholar]

That depends on what you can draw.

[locktouching]

Oh, my expertise is more in massage than in art, but I could take my best shot at anything.

...The most recent thing I've drawn is star charts.

[andascholar]

[Interest piqued!] A star chart may work nicely.

[chosemyfate]

[The bottle was... generously offered before Corrin could ask why. Manages to not spit it back out, he has to cough a bit after managing to swallow the sudden alcohol. Not too much of a drinker, this one.

He will stay perfectly still when he comes closer. ]

[locktouching]

I haven't been able to see the stars since arriving here, but I would watch the stars and moon every night.

I suppose I could give you a nice constellation. I have them memorized. Any in particular you favor?

[andascholar]

...With any luck, you'll see them again soon. Orion, perhaps. Or Taurus.

[locktouching]

I'm a Taurus myself.

Pick a spot for me to draw it. Unless you want me to pick for you~

[andascholar]

[That is a DANGEROUS proposal] My arm will be fine. It was your birthday the first day here, wasn't it?

[locktouching]

It was. Happy birthday to me.

[Reaches for her arm to roll her sleeve up for her.]

[andascholar]

[Hnghhh SHE CAN ROLL HER OWN SLEEVE UP THANKS but not saying anything about it. Whatever!!]

That's quite bad luck.

[locktouching]

I've had much worse luck.

[Worse than being in a murder game show? Yes.]

[Takes a brief drink from a bottle, then puts it down next to Zelda and picks the tattoo gun up.]

I'm going to begin. Shouldn't take long.

[Starts tapping the dots of star arrangements onto her skin.]

[andascholar]

[Any questions she can have about that worse luck are cut off by OW FUCK OW PAIN. Zelda clenches her fists, trying not to react, it's only dots it's fine it's only dots.]

[locktouching]

[Smiles as he watches her struggle with her composure. Sorry, but dots just aren't much of a tattoo. He adds a faint outline of the front half of a rearing bull to finish it, with two long horns tipped by two of the stars.]

[andascholar]

[THAT'S A LITTLE HARDER TO DEAL WITH and she makes a small grunt of pain, biting her lip. Once he's done she's reaching for another drink.]

[locktouching]

Are you pleased? Oh, I bet you'd like to give me one now, wouldn't you? Better share that drink with me when you're done.

[jinglebros]

[ He flushes a bit. ]

Pffft.

[andascholar]

[But she wants to drink all the drinks. Sighs, putting the bottle down.]

What would you like?

[jinglebros]

Numb? Oh shit. Maybe you better go somewhere else.

[jinglebros]

[ Oh boy, this hurts more than the other people with her doing it, but he tries not to show that. ] Suuure. [ He switches the colours. ]

[jinglebros]

Last night isn't very important right now. [ That's Santa's way of avoiding the answer; however, the fact he's holding so tightly onto Corrin's hand is a definite nonverbal sign that he's not really doing all that much better. ]

[jinglebros]

Anything.
