Her eyes light up as she imagines herself covered in cool tattoos. "I could sit through some pokes for that!"
She grins. "If it hurts bad enough and long enough you begin to lose feeling there altogether!" |

"I bet - you seem like you handle pain well." He motions to the burns on her arms.
She grins. "If it hurts bad enough and long enough you begin to lose feeling there altogether!" Lan gives her a bit of a wtf look before looking away trying to hide his expression |

"I thought fletcher's make arrows? But you're supposed to carve your own needles. I mean you don't have to, but it's more honorable and shows your dedication."
"Then that's what we'll do!" "Well... What will you do to earn said tattoo? I think it's an insult to Bran's culture of you just tattoo yourself without earning it." |

"Well, there's a lot of different things. Ice sailing is one of the first ones. Or winning your first brawl. There's one for carving tokens assigned to you. Sometimes the shamans feel you exemplify a trait, like courage or loyalty. The only one you really get for free is your family crest, but usually that's when your father thinks you're ready or when you've made him proud. There's a few families where the sons haven't earned them...and it's really rather a bad situation to be in." |

"What if your father dies before you can make him proud? Do you just never get a family then or can you make your own family?

A surviving family member can decide or a shaman. And if not then you can create your own." "So if you don't have family then you can make your own?" he grins "That's reassuring." |

"So if you don't have family then you can make your own?" he grins "That's reassuring." "It's a bit untraditional. People usually wait then until they've done something great or tie it to some story." He glances at Lan. "It depends. Having a crest that endures is impressive." Lan blinks and the wheels start turning. He grows pale. "Um... Bran..." He gulps. "How long has your family been... Enduring?" |
