[He blinks at them like they've just appeared out of thin air, a little bit deer in the headlights, a little like he's trying to clear his vision. Teddy knows they snuck up a little, but they suspect it's more than that. That he can't quite place them; not in the way they can him, anyway, not in a way that isn't just some other person who lives in Solvunn. It's happened before, in both directions.

It doesn't feel great, but it's just the way things go; hell, it's the way things go with people you went to high school with, and this was 800 years of not-even-exactly-real. Teddy's been stubbornly trying to hang onto everything, in some kind of weird, reverse guilt over forgetting home, but it's impossible.

She still flashes a quick grin, hiding a laugh behind it, when he hastily says I'm not a tattoo guy. He kind of gives off not a tattoo guy, admittedly. Especially as flustered as he sounds by the question, which is a little endearing, and also makes Teddy have to remind herself that he's from a totally different generation.

His little never mind draws more attention than the stumble itself does, and Teddy wonders a little where that was going. He doesn't press; just lets the conversation float on and smiles a little.]

I think I'm always thinking about it a little.

[They hold up their hands, hovering near the glass but not touching it, letting him see the roses and letters, the end of a banner that says love all of the time, though the top of it's hidden by only slightly rolled-up shirt sleeves. Teddy is, in fact, a tattoo guy.]

Eddie said something about them having glow in the dark ink here, which is ...just, that's sweet as hell. It made me think about -- do y'all have foxfire where you're from? Um, bioluminescent mushrooms? It feels a little like home and a little like here, I guess. But it's just an idea, nothing real yet.
