Lucas shrugged. "No plans. Now is fine."
The man sat down slowly and Lucas wondered why he was getting this tattoo when he was so old. Aria and Rune were both young and athletic. He didn't fully understand what it meant but his impression was that you got them young. Aria had been what? 16? This guy had to be in his 70s. Not weak by any means. But embracing a new life?
Oh well. Not his problem. In fact it gave him an idea. The projector embedded a light film of tracing ink on the skin. Lucas got his gun and loaded it with the base color. The buzz of the gun filled the quiet shop and Lucas looked at the man before taking his hand. The skin was soft and had lost some elasticity."You even do this before?"
At the man's shake, he went on. "Well, it will hurt at first, like a scrape. But you get used to it, I promise. You might even enjoy it."
He braced the man's hand and started. He also started to talk, to distract the man from the beginning. "Gotta say, we don't get too many in your age. It's a pretty cool thing to do."
He paused and then went on. " I've seen a few of these. What do they mean?"
He knew, of course, about the symbol of eternity. He was an art student. But he wanted to see what the guy said. Maybe it would help him understand Aria.
