[It was rare that Adam had been excited or happy for something while in this place, though he had his moments. This evening? This evening he was smiling. He was in his room at the Barns, a white rabbit visible on the bed behind him.

He didn't usually use the network, but he was trying to engage more, too.]

Hello, everyone. I'd been thinking for a while that who knows when we're going to get out of this place and go home. You know, resume our lives.

[Do what they wanted to, live their lives. Adam might never experience his dreams and become a lawyer, so.]

So, yesterday I got a tattoo. [Which would probably surprise anyone who knew him.

He held out his left arm, showing a beautiful tattoo on the inside of his wrist. It stretched halfway down his forearm and had a border of roses and vines. He'd gladly explain at least part of the reason why he chose the magician card if anyone cared to ask.]

I'd really recommend the Mystic Ink tattoo parlor. Parts of this even glow in the dark. [Which was maybe the coolest part about it. He turned off the light for a moment, showing that the roses, the eye of the bird, and the edges of the feathers all glowed, before turning the light back on.]

It's really cool.

[He swiveled the camera a little to show the rabbit again.] Also, that's Cottonball, if anyone was curious.

[Gansey pretends that he doesn't notice the flinch, or that he knows the possible reasons for it. That's always been a difficult topic, and they have enough of those to deal with lately. Moving closer, he's not really surprised by the subject of the tattoo. Adam's always been the Magician of their group, even before they really knew their places in the quest.

He makes an appreciative sound as he studies the design, waiting for permission before taking Adam's hand so that he can see the tattoo from different angles.]

An apt design for you. I haven't seen ravens as part of the Tarot very often.

[He likes it. It makes him wonder what his card would look like in a raven themed deck. He might try to draw something like it, but he's tired of certain themes in his life.]

It really glows in the dark?

[That had been difficult to see from the doorway.]

I thought it was fitting.

[Ravens meant a lot in their quest, and that combined with him being the magician...he couldn't think of anything more fitting for a tattoo.

Smiling, he reached for the switch, turning off the lights in the room to show how the tattoo glowed. He was especially proud of that little detail because it was cool.]

How have you been, lately?

[He wasn't a master of smooth conversation transitions, but it'd been a while since he'd spoken to Gansey.]
