there's light at the edge of the darkness
Loren figured that taking a look at the tattoos himself might shed some light. However, given that they were freezing in the cold and the snow, he decided that it could wait. ”Are they high quality?” Granted, the Launceleyn hadn’t seen many tattoos, so maybe he was reading too much into this. However, it was one of the only leads they had. The other was the affinity for thread. ”Maybe you were a tailor? Or liked to knit? We can find you some needles and some tailoring supplies and see if you know what to do with it.” It wouldn’t be too hard, and it wasn’t like Oliver would be doing much else during LongNight.
”Sure.” The summoner had been planning to ask to see them, so it was easy enough to accept the other man’s offer. At least they stopped talking about Loren’s hobbies and interests. And Oliver’s next question was easy enough to answer. ”Me, obviously. Beatrix and Jace are my cousin and my nephew, respectfully. They’re kids, you might see them around.” Loren had forgotten the cover story for Beatrix, but cousin seemed safe. ”Peter was adopted into the family. Other than that, we’ve got Aonghas, Abasi, Renaud, and now you.” That seemed to be the complete list, but people were usually in and out and it was impossible for the Launceleyn to keep track of them. Indeed, it had taken him most of a season to realize Beatrix had run away from home and taken Jace with her.
