Saying Blake was fascinated by the tattoo would be an understatement. He was completely enraptured. He'd turned his body fully around now so his wings were facing away from Ace and Zander, his eyes locked onto the hologram. "So cool…" He mumbled, not hearing a word Ace or Zander said.
Ace grinned, "Macha's pretty full of surprises. And she's dangerous. I like that about her." he pulled up his sleeve and showed Zander the tattoo of Zodiac. "Zodiac can go back into my arm as a tattoo. We bonded when we were young and I have an invisible tattoo as well as Zodiac. It enables her to go into my arm."
(Sorry I put the wrong time. There was a mix-up and I'm fine to stay.)
(OK SRRY)
"Yeah she really is dangerous, the first time we met she shoved a spear in my face." Zander smiled at the memory," She could've poked my eye out." He joked.
"She could've. It's nice to know that when she says she'll shoot you, she actually means it." Ace said, turning his head to look at Blake's enraptured face as Blake looked at his tattoo hologram that wouldn't stop yapping.
Blake head his head cocked to the side with curiosity as the little hologram mustache man babbled away. He wanted to know the mechanics behind it. How was this possible? How could this tattoo project a hologram!? Blake's lack of experience with magic left him baffled.
Zander laughed and made a mental note not to get Macha angry at him. Then an idea occurred to him. He raised one finger his face in a 'Shhh' motion to Ace. He was going to do something his brothers used to do. Zander slowly raised his hand and lightly pulled Blake's earlobe on the side that Ace was on then pretended to admire one of Aces tattoos.
Blake whipped his head around, his wings puffing up with alarm. He shook his head slightly before glaring at Ace. "Again? Seriously?!" He whined, crossing his arms. "I officially like Zander better." Blake stuck his tongue out at Ace before rubbing at his ear.
Zander choked on his water and stifled a laugh.
Ace looked amused, "It was Zander." he tapped his tattoo and the babbling man vanished. "You looked pretty enraptured there, do you wanna know how it works?"
Blake shot a quick glare at Zander before nodding his head rapidly at Ace.
"That would be pretty cool to see." Zander remarked," And I refuse to be accused until being proven guilty"
(It's late where I am so I'm going to go to sleep! You guys have custody of Blake but try not to torment too much lol. Night!)
"Quinlan's tattoo shop was the only magical tattoo shop I've ever seen. He figured out a way to integrate magic and ink to make all of this." Ace motioned towards his tattoos, "He passed away, but not before documenting his work in a tattoo between my shoulder blades."
"Wow that is truly awesome, Quinlan must have been a great man."Zander said, spying Blake with his mouth open.
"Not only a great man, a great stand-in father." Ace smiled at the memory and then caught Zander looking at Blake, looking at Ace's tattoos.
Zander's thoughts shifted to Wrembel, but he wouldn't go down that path. It was a crude one. Instead he turned to Ace." Want to head out now?"
"Definitely." Ace looked at Blake and he nodded, "I'm ready to go back Ace."
" Alright then, lead the way." Zander said. ( Want to take Macha along[ hands off of course, she just shadows us])
"Right. Just, hold on for a second." Ace pressed his stomach and a large bubble enveloped Zander. "I'm sorry Blake, I can't trust Zander completely just yet. He smells like he's part of the R.A.C."
"Hey man that's just mean." Zander responded, he didn't care much for the bubble. Kata could get him out if need be.
