Who: Leilani
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Blue Fish, later
When: Now!
[ The feed opens with the camera focussed on someone's back - it takes a moment to settle, but then Leilani peers over her shoulder, a soft smile on her face. What she's showing off is quite clear; where her skin was once bare, there's a winding tattoo that covers her spine from the small of her back up to her shoulders.
The centre is a green stalk, like a plant, with roses of bright Fade green and blood red surrounding it, coloured in a watercolour style. Weaving through the stem of the flowers is a bright purple snake that seems to have... Bull horns on the top, and a pair of red, glowing eyes. The stem branches out into curves and patterns across her back: anyone familiar with Dalish vallaslin will recognise the design. ]
Leilani grins, even though it makes her wince a little - the tattoo is fresh, and it's red and a little sore from where it's starting to heal. At least she has the decency to make sure she doesn't flash anything by holding a shirt over her chest. ]
I used to have tattoos on my face. For my people, blood writing - the vallaslin - was a sign of becoming an adult. You would get the markings of one of the Gods placed on you, and you would have to sit in silence or you would not be allowed to be given the writing at all.
[ She takes a deep breath, quiet, before she breathes it out. It's obviously hurting, both the ache from the tattoo and the loss of her actual vallaslin. ]
I lost my vallaslin, so I thought it was time to get something new, something for myself rather than for the Gods. [ She finally smiles properly, tilting her head. ] And I'm fishing for compliments, now. I'd like to hear what you think - Loyalty.
[ She ducks out of view before she can finish the sentence, and whoever is holding the camera ends the feed as she goes. ]

Action
He hasn't put on a shirt yet, but he doesn't see how it might be odd for two people to sit alone in a bedroom without shirts on.]
no subject
[ Leilani moves, shifting to step to the side of her room, almost tripping over the cat as she goes. The tattoo artist had given her some suggestions of how to care for her back, and she does the best she can before she shrugs one of Dorian's shirts on and makes her way back over to Justice. ]
Smiling won't hurt you, Justice.
no subject
[Which is completely honest. Smiles do not come naturally to him even at the best of times, and the past few weeks have hardly been the best of times.
Loyalty, for her part, is coiling around Leilani's legs, rubbing herself on her calves and purring. Justice doesn't stop scowling, but he softens.] The tattoo is beautiful.
no subject
[ Bending down again, Leilani lifts the cat into her arms and smiles softly, fingers scratching behind her ears before she sits down on her bed again. ]
Thank you. There were lots of things I wanted for it... I'm glad it doesn't look messy.
no subject
[Loyalty purrs in Leilani's arms, happily basking in all the attention. Why she doesn't just stay with Leilani, Justice doesn't know.]
The artist said it would look messy only if you do not take good care of it while it heals. If you require assistance caring for it, I can help. [He's sure that she knows how to take care of tattoos, but she'd still have trouble reaching her back.]

Very nice, Leilani.
[ Just looking at it makes her wish she could trace the tattoo with her finger. ]

You like it?
no subject
Definitely, it looks amazing on you.

Have you considered getting your own?

You should come show me once it's healed. [ or before. you know, he's not picky. ]
video;
Oh? Are you interested in getting your own?
no subject
I certainly won't rule out the possibility. Besides, some of my favorite people have tattoos. [ i glances at zevran. ] You have any recommendations? I don't think flowers would suit me as well as they suit you.
no subject
[ But, ah. Zevran has some form of vallaslin, and that's a topic she's keen to avoid. ]
Something dangerous, perhaps? Or something for one arm.

What a lovely piece. I've been thinking about adding another to my collection.

Would you have me come and hold your hand?
video
But of course! I may weep without your support.

We cannot have that. I will gladly bear your pain with you, lethallin.

action, of course
He moves into the room with ease, sitting on the corner of the bed with his legs crossed. ]
As lovely as your video was, it is even better to see in person.
no subject
I'm generally better in person. [ Beaming, she moves and settles down, resting her head on Dorian's leg. Deal with it. ] Sometimes.
no subject
[ His hand settles on the crown of her head, fingers idly rubbing at her scalp. He studies the tattoo now that he's closer. It is beautiful, and it does suit her, running down her spine. It's hers, and he knows the loss of her vallaslin has tortured her, so having this is good. ]
I would have accompanied you, you realize.
no subject
I know. I asked Justice to go with me.
