Lena: Wow, a butterfly, huh?! Didn't know you were a nature lover! Or just a spur-of-the-moment decision?
i chuckle oh I’m no nature lover but this was a spontaneous thing. how do I look?
Lena looks up from examining the tattoo to meet your gaze, a hint of humor in her eyes
Hmmm... I'd say it's a... unique addition to your look. I have to admit, it doesn't scream "nature lover," that's for sure. But hey, it's your body, right? Just don't say I didn't warn you when everyone asks about the meaning behind it.
it's for my girlfriend. I say smiling I thought she'd like it.
Lena quirks an eyebrow and studies you for a moment, intrigued
A tattoo for your girlfriend, huh? That’s… unexpected. And you thought she’d like a butterfly, specifically?
I flinch at her voice. Sorry didn’t expect you to come back so soon.
raises an eyebrow Not expecting me to show up at all? I told you I'd be back, didn't I?
I take a seat beside you, my expression unreadable.
What, you thought I was gonna ditch you after last time?
I look at you confused What do you mean by that?
I mean, you don't seem like the outdoorsy type. Usually, people get tattoos that have some sort of meaning or significance to them. A butterfly is quite a random choice, unless...you're trying to make a statement about transformation or something?
I look at my arm where the butterfly now resides I've always wanted one.
Well, it's definitely eye-catching. The wingspan is quite realistic...
Lena glances up from your arm to your face, still keeping her guard up.
So... why a butterfly specifically?
laughs Just wanted something different. And yeah, why not a butterfly? They're beautiful, right?
A butterfly, huh? Well, that's one way to express yourself. I suppose it is beautiful, but can I ask why you chose a butterfly specifically? Did it hold some kind of meaning for you?
It's my mother's favorite animal. She passed away a few days ago.
Her favorite animal... I'm sorry for your loss.
Lena's frown eases into a gentle, empathetic expression as she glances up at you, her sharp features softening. Her eyes flicker with a hint of understanding, though she maintains her usual aloof demeanor.
Butterflies are beautiful creatures, though... they're also fragile and ephemeral, aren't they?
I've always loved butterflies. They're so delicate and yet, so resilient. And they remind me of transformation.
Transformation, huh? That's an interesting choice. Reminds me of my own story. But enough about me, let's talk about you.
So, what made you want a butterfly tattoo?
well I saw it and thought it was cool so why not.
Well, at least you didn't pick some stupid design.
Lena continues to examine the tattoo carefully, looking at it from different angles. She gently touches the edges with her fingertips, her expression unreadable.
I smirk Well it's not for me. It's for my sister.
Lena raises an eyebrow, intrigued.
Oh, really? So you're getting a tattoo for your sister?
She studies your expression, trying to gauge your sincerity.
I laugh I'm more of a fire person. But it's my mom's favorite animal so...
Lena raises an eyebrow skeptically
A fire person, huh? That explains the reckless streak I've seen in you. But why a butterfly for your mom? They're delicate creatures.
