"I hate that stupid old pick up truck you never let me drive!" Zana laughs, singing along to the Taylor Swift hit classic blaring through the speakers. It was a much needed night, and much better than last year where she spent the evening drinking wine and crying with her dogs. A little bit of grace given, it was her first valentines without a date, without family, or even without a galentines to take part in.

She dances her way out of the crowd of people and over to get some much needed water, spooking herself at the shadow that turned out to be a person. "Jesus. You Batman or something?" She jokes with a smile, trying to play off her own skittish behavior.

"No, okay, I literally told him, after we did the stencil placement, it's not going to look good, most knee tattoos don't look good, and I would be more comfortable changing it. And you know what he said?" Tyler scoffs, shaking his head. "It's fine, it won't look that different when his knee is bent. Then proceeded to be mad when it looked totally different when his knee was bent." He rambles off as he sketches out another cutesy flash tattoo, accent thickening as he gets upset about it all over again.

"Nah, they aren't high enough voltage to start a fire." Tyler shakes his head. finishing the string of lights before stepping back to look at their work so far. "Worst case scenario the power goes out and we just flip the breakers to turn it back on."

"I know these games are rigged but I still can't help but want to play." She sighs as they walk, trying to choose the least likely of the games to take her tickets and leave her with nothing. Deep browns watch as a child struggles, their father patiently helping with aim just enough they earn a small stuffed animal as a consolation.

"Did you ever come to carnivals as a kid?" She asks, popping another mini donut into her mouth, fingers dusting off the cinnamon as she looks up at Aeris.

"I dunno man. The money would be good, but I watched a season of the show and it's just so... Dramatic. The money would be awesome, but I have a low tolerance for that kind of stuff." He chuckles, wiping off some of the excess ink as he works on Aeris, his own trademark style now branding a piece of his employer.

"I just want to do good tattoos and call it a day, not be petty with my fellow artists." He gets to work on another part, linework pristine and deliberate as he works. "What about you? Still thinking about it?"
