Captcha is the eternal enemy.

[rusemaster]

[soundly putting a cap back on the marker]

Is that satisfactory?

[thinkoutsidethebox]

It's acceptable. Is there some meaning to the pattern?

[rusemaster]

Ever heard of the bird called the little grebe? The old name for it was "nio."

[in a tone of relative indifference]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Do you have a lot of personal similarities with a small diving bird?

[rusemaster]

A name, to start with.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Is that all?

[rusemaster]

[shrug...]

There's a lot of 'em where I was born. Nothin' that interesting.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Is that so...? Well, I'd say that the fact that you have a tattoo referencing it makes it interesting enough.

[rusemaster]

No, no. If y'build up too much of a mystery in your head, you'll be disappointed.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Hm. Then, did you just want to match?

[rusemaster]

Think of it like a fancy signature.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Very well.

[rusemaster]

[twirls the pen in her hand]

Any other requests? I could always get more creative—draw a picture, write a poem...

[thinkoutsidethebox]

This should be sufficient. How about you? Interested in any new tattoos? Piercings? Brands?

[rusemaster]

Oh, I dunno, I'm already a little tight on space...

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I'm sure we could find somewhere.

[rusemaster]

Haha. Well, I don't have any burning desire, unless you had somethin' in mind.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Nothing in particular, but it would be a shame if I didn't mark you in some way. Maybe something easier...? How about a bite?

[rusemaster]

Ah, sounds a little kinky...! Sure, let's go with that.

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Very well. Then....

[she steps in close to her, pulling her collar open and away from her neck]

[rusemaster]

Eh, right here—?

[her eyes momentarily flick around when her collar comes open, exposing some bare skin, but most of that tension leaves after a fleeting moment and she doesn't otherwise try to pull away]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

Is it too much to do in public?

[rusemaster]

Not really...

[though she seems at least partially distracted]

[thinkoutsidethebox]

I'll take your word for it, in that case...

[rusemaster]

[back to smiling as she gains back her rhythm]

Do as you like, master.
