32nd Of Spring 517
The woman winced slightly as she was tattooed, she was very uncomfortable but she had felt much worse pain in her life. Her idea had been odd, but it felt suitable, and she considered it a birthday gift to herself.
She was in a terrible mood, and she was sure the man had picked up on that as he was silent as he did the design on the top of her right hand. The con artist had picked there so that anyone could see it, and that she could see it often to. As a reminder of what she had lost, but a reminder to move ahead and to continue on living. Florian wouldn't have wanted her to stay mourning forever. She needed to leave the past as it was, and it was only then that she had truly understood that.
Memories were usually permanent, but so was the tattoo. She rather liked the design that was being drawn on her. A small dagger similar to Florian's that she now owned, with a Rose curving around it. It was symbolic, that her brother would also be there with her in her mind. She had put a lot of thought into it, and had carefully described every detail so the tattoo would look as she wanted.
Her horrible memories just made the good memories that much better and stronger, so perhaps they were a blessing in disguise. Though she doubted it heavily, she was nowhere near over her abusive childhood and brother's death, yet she considered it a good step forward towards moving on, something that she now knew was needed.
Her other tattoo was covered by her sleeve, that she was glad for since it wasn't something she liked to see. The young woman had considered having it covered many times before, and considered it again now. Yet she found that she didn't feel that she needed to anymore, sure her cousin had found her by the tattoo being seen, but she oddly didn't want it gone.
