"Whump writer!" Viez clapped her hands excitedly. “Oh you guys are sooo fun. So. Do any of your characters have prominent scars? Will they do anything to hide them, such as using cloth or makeup? Do any decide just to hide from the world completely in rarely leaving their home?”
Lyrem's hand hovers over his chest, near where his heart should be.
Scars. He had many, the worst and most troubling of which was the symbol commonly associated with Pluto that was branded into him many years ago. Absently, he presses a couple fingers to the area over his loose cotton button up shirt and then remembers himself. Straightening his posture, he finally answers.
"No, nothing terribly prominent," Lyrem sticks up his nose slightly, "And I'm certainly not ashamed of any. They are a sign of a life well lived, and evidence of all that I've learned"-
"Oooh! Are we comparing scars!?" Arch runs up excitedly, holding out their hand to show off a particularly nasty one across their palm. "Lyrem gave me this one- it was to keep my memories of torturing people from interfering with school and y'know, other day-to-day things. Oh, and these ones,"
They lifted a leg to show off a few thin scars near their ankle.
"-are from Maleficent. She's a cat... and an asshole."
