This boy was beginning to irritate Sylvia even more. They had entirely different morals and mindsets regarding everything they'd talked about thus far. But right now, 'Evelyn' needed an ally in this place."Respects are meant to be paid to the living, the dead can't hear you." Sylvia sighed, disappointed with herself. "But it matters little." She returned to her casual position, leaning on the beam. "Why are we arguing, of all people should understand the importance of having an ally during a crisis." Sylvia removed a glove, tending to an itch and revealing a wisp of red and orange ink that spun in spiral patterns on her hand up to her sleeve."Anyway, seeing as family is a touchy issue, let's talk about what you used to do. What were you, a metalworker?"Sylvia's hand was really bothering her now, she scratched almost as intently as she listened.
Gavin sighed. "Well,
technically yes, but there wasn't much metal to work, and I actually made most of my money from being a street performer. It's amazing how much money somebody will pay to see a blob of cold liquid metal jump around like some sort of insane frog. It was pretty easy too, and—hang on, what's that? The pattern on your hand, what is it?"
It appeared to be some sort of intricate spiral tattoo, done in red and orange ink. There was no discernible meaning to it. Perhaps a status symbol of some sort? His mind branched out to the many things that it could've meant, and as he waited for his answer, he wondered what the ink was made of. Most of the tattoo ink out there had some sort of ferrous component, which would be
very useful to know about if he needed some sort of distraction in a tight spot. His eyes followed the spirals up to her wrist, where it disappeared behind her sleeve, presumably continuing up her arm. He looked up at her curiously."
