Note: I work Mon-Fri and I'm basically away 11 hours a day but I do tags in gdocs and I try to do a round a night. Timezone is GMT.

A content noise escapes from Korrin, and she's happily savoring every moment of Araceli's touch where it's needed most. A lot of her muscles are sore and stiff, and the warm water is already helping but she still has a way to go. That remark gets a soft laugh out of her, though she tries not to move too much.

"It really is armor, sort of like how mabari have kaddis that protect them in battle. I think I'll stick with my usual sort most of the time, but when in Val Royeaux, do as the Royans do...or the Avvar, in this case. Besides, I have a pretty awesome chest, why not paint it?

...paint aside, I've been thinking about tattoos. I've never really bothered since my scars are enough decoration for me, but...I think it's time to break that. I want something to remember Asher by...Mal, too."

"Mal...." Korrin sighs, both due to heartache and Araceli's wonderful, magical fingers. She'll take off what she can on her arms, though not moving so much as to undermine Araceli's own work. "...he's leaving for a while. Asher's death hit him pretty hard. I know he'll come back, especially since he's sweet on Merrill, but he's in need of a breather. Anyway, we talked about getting matching tattoos in memory of Asher. Think I could pull off a honey badger somewhere?"

Just where on her body would work best, she hasn't decided. But maybe Araceli with her eye for detail and past tattoo experience will help her narrow it down. For her part, it almost doesn't matter where as long as she can see it and think of the times when all three of them would raise hell together.

"Don't give in, kaddis would ruin Lux's beautiful fur. Mabari can only get away with it because they're short-haired to begin with.

And I was told that it doesn't hurt after a while, that you get used to it. I don't know; I'm sore all over anyway, so at this point it doesn't make much difference. Maybe I'll be feeling it more tomorrow."

That burst of laughter is contagious, and Korrin joins in, needing it more than she had realized. The image that comes to mind keeps surfacing and making her snicker, so give her a moment. She'll manage to control herself, honest. "Andraste's tits, indeed. I think I'm pretty damn good at stunning them anyway, but you know it never hurts to have options."

She flashes a grin then lifts her forearm to have a look, tracing along where the tattoo might be located in the future. "I like that. Asher would want us to remember him when we're having a few at the tavern--or getting outright shitfaced. Funny, I always thought that if I ever got around to a tattoo, that I'd go for a dragon first. Maybe I will at some point, but it's not what's calling to me right now. I could get the Inquisition symbol, too, I guess, to make Shokarakar roll her eyes. She keeps calling it 'that hairy eyeball'."

Korrin shrugs before remembering to stay somewhat still for Araceli, watching the paint swirl away from them as she continues on her arms. "It probably would, if it weren't for the sword right in the middle. I might risk the eye-rolling, though. The Inquisition's brought many good things into my life." She turns enough to smile warmly at the woman who's at the center of a lot of that.

"Hm, that's a good point, about Zevran. If he's not too busy with his bear-elf baby, I'll see what he has to suggest. And I'd love to see what he does for you, of course. What are you thinking about getting this time?" Several things come to mind, but Korrin will wait to hear directly from Araceli rather than assumed.
gatheringstorm: (you're adorable)

That new shyness in her tone doesn't go unnoticed, as Korrin is aware by now of what tattoos mean to Araceli and her people. She smiles and lifts one of Araceli's hands up for a gentle kiss where there is no Avvar paint getting in the way. "I love that about you, you know. How personal it is to you, that none of it is without meaning. You do it for yourself and no one else, and that's beautiful.

An octopus would definitely suit you. Seeing it will remind me of the one we saw off the coast in Rivain." That morning birthday dip will forever be a fond memory, and whatever other meaning the octopus would hold for her kadan, that's what would come to mind for Korrin herself.
