After they had thier lunch, all of them still gathered around the table, in a comfortable silence, all appreciating Juliet's cooking skills
Eve was the first one to break the comfortable silence they were in
"you forgot one thing, Vane"
Vane looked towards her with curious expressions before saying:
"what is it, Eve?"
Eve smirk widened, before Vane knew what she was talking about
"Ohh, that.."
Eve chuckled and shook her head
"we'll tag along with you then!"
'Damnit' Vane cursed himself, and rolled his eyes
"Whatever you say, Nosey"
Eve laughed loudly before grabbing him into a headlock, ruffling his blonde hair
time passed, and the crew was Infront of a large hut, with a sign outside saying 'tattoos'.
the crew entered the large hut it was empty, since tattoo was rare in this region
Vane entered the first, his eyes met the woman incharge inside.
he glupped, as he sat on the armed chair, his crewmates sat across the room, probably would be there and watch him in pain..
the tattooist smiled, it was a sly smile
"how can i help you, handsome"
Juliet couldn't do anything, but look away and pout, after all, it was natural Vane always receive attention from other women due to his looks, she was a victim of the charming boy's face, and personality after all.
"Just fix this mess on my neck, I don't know replace it with a Raven maybe"
Vane said, embracing himself from the pain that'll come
the woman hummed, then started piercing his neck skin with the needle
after what felt like an eternity for Vane, she finally finished, she took a a mirror and hand it to Vane, to see the result.
Instead of a skull with a crown, Blackbeard crew symbol, there was a skull, wearing a thron crown, with a raven on top of the crown, and the thron crown had two flowers blooming out of it.
that left Vane impressed of the woman's work
'that's acutally pretty good!'
"thank you"
he smiled before turning to leave but just before that, Arslan grabbed him from the back of his shirt, setting him down on a chair
"im also getting a similar one".
he said with a serious tone before Eve raised a hand
"Me too, me too!"
Juliet shifted slightly on her chair
"I wish for a similar one as well"
she definitely was scared of the that'll come with it.
Ivy shrugged
"Juliet gets one, i get one".
Dane just shrugged as well, mimicking his sister's tone
Ray was the last to join them
"I have no choice i guess"
First who went was Arslan, he also made funny expressions while getting one, so Vane didn't felt left out, he got the tattoo on his neck same as Vane
Second was Eve, that lunatic didn't even flinch, keeping a smile on her face, she probably was crying from inside, she got it on her collarbone.
Third was Ivy, she made few pained expressions, but nobody dared to clown her, she got it on the back of her hand.
Fourth to go was Ray, he also felt too much pain, since it was his first time doing such a thing, he got the tattoo on his forearm.
"oww..that hurts"
Fifth was Dane, and it was just like Eve barely flinched, he got that tattoo on the back of his hand, Vane still got an eerie feeling from the guy, but never asked knowing if he fought him and his sister alone, he'd die.
The last to go was Juliet, it felt like torture for all the crew to see thier favourite chef get hurt.
Vane was thinking of interfering and punching the tattooist on her face, but he wouldn't do such a thing... right?, he won't hit a defenseless woman...maybe?
Vane ended up scoffing at his thinking, by then Juliet got her tattoo, it was on her wrist.
The crew headed back to the ship, celebrating the new tattoos with a drink, all of them we're sitting on thier round dinning table clearly having fun,
Arslan was getting wasted Dane was helping him recover, Ivy and Juliet drinking thier drink slowly, they're resistance to alcohol was incredible, Eve was greedly drinking the alcohol within the bottle, no hesitation and she doesn't seem interested on stopping, Vane was just having a small sips, since his very sensitive to alcohol
Ivy gave Vane a side look
"i might misjudged you in the past"
Vane glanced at her, as Juliet was listening to them
"i thought you were a good-for-nothing idiot, but i was wrong"
Vane chuckled before replying to her in an amused tone:
"all this resentment, over me not helping with shipwork?"
Ivy nodded
"You annoyed me back then, we were on the verge of sinking!"
Vane laughed harder, as Juliet covered her mouth muffling a giggle
"Well, we good now? right?"
Ivy scoffed
"okay...i guess"
Juliet finally spoke her question directed to Vane
"Vane, you seem to kind to be a pirate, why?"
He understood her question, after all..he was a noble back in Spain.
not just a noble, but a Hier to the most influencing family ever, the Leonheart Family.
