[ Kaveh's expression brightens when he sees Cyno's planned tattoo. Like the one he's designed for himself, he thinks it speaks very much of the man who intends to wear it. And what's more... ]
Cyno, did you design this yourself?
[ His fingers trace over the design, although he's careful not to touch the actual paper, lest he smudge it. ]
[ Admittedly, he's curious about who his friend may have asked for assistance with the art, but he doesn't ask for now. Instead, he takes the paper and moves to Cyno's other side, holding it up so he can visualize it a little better— regardless of what the other is currently wearing, Kaveh's memory is strong anyway.
[ he's wearing a loose tank top, so his arms are very much visible.. nevermind the weather, cyno always has some skin out!! he looks pleased that kaveh likes it, however - kaveh is the most artistic among them, after all, so cyno very much appreciates his input and guidance.

Yours, too. Is that picture true to the size that you want?
Not quite. That's why I drew it on my arm as well so the artist could see it. I tried, but found it was a little smaller than I wanted when I was testing it against my arm. So I drew the self-portrait for size and positioning help. The thing is, I think it loses some detail if it's that little bit smaller, but I know that's me being critical. So I'm trusting the artist.
[ It's not a long conversation, but by the time Kaveh is finished explaining, they're already at the front of the parlor.

[ cyno all but beams, in his muted cyno way, and nods. ]
You like it? I think it'll look good on my other arm.
