[Yingxing isn't the only one to consider the hum of the machine relaxing, and Dan Feng allows his focus to shift inward for a time. It would've been ideal to have been able to get this tattoo while his parents were alive.. but to get it instead in their memory would have to be enough.
Traditionally, this tattoo would be designed by the parents, always following certain specifications.. but with a little personalization unique to the individual. He'd not been able to participate in that tradition... but he'd worked with his grandmother to take design elements from the tattoos his parents had. He'd never get them back, but perhaps this way he could still feel connected.
Yingxing's voice is easily enough to draw him from his thoughts, seafoam eyes blinking open and adjusting to the light in the room again.]
Ah, yes. I was a little lost in thought, sorry about that.
[He shifts carefully when Yingxing lifts the hand mirror, eyes focusing on the progress made so far. The linework was extraordinarily beautiful, another thing particularly unique to his tattoo compared to those of his elders. Dan Feng doesn't notice when his expression warms and softens.]
It looks beautiful..
[His voice is gentle as he speaks, his smile coming through in those quietly appreciative words.]
