3rd Floor Boys' Bathroom, Monday Night

After he visited Alluka, Anders had gone back to his room to tidy as a way to stop him from thinking so bloody much. And, at the bottom of a pile of papers dating back to the summer before, he found the heavy gold earring he hadn't worn in ... it had to have been at least since before the spring cruise. Maybe longer.

And when he went to put the thing back in, he found his earlobe had sealed clean over. It was almost as if the hole had never been there at all.

Having a nice hoop earring and no pierced ear to wear it in was a sad state of affairs, wasn't it? Clearly it had to be remedied. The first time he'd pierced it, an older girl in the Circle dorms held the needle. This time ... he didn't know who to ask. He suspected his friends would tell him to go get it done in some shop, which seemed vaguely excessive. So he took the supplies as he remembered them -- rubbing alcohol, needle, and block of ice -- to the boys' restroom and set up to quickly put a new hole in his head.

He had forgotten that the first time he'd had it done, they'd used whiskey instead of rubbing alcohol, and he'd been fortified by three or four generous pours before the needle touched his flesh. This time, he was sober as a stone. Anyone walking past the boys' bathroom tonight would get quite the education in rude comments that could be made about the Bride of the Maker, her underthings, and her personal proclivities.

[OOC: IDEK, man. I thought of this and it made me giggle so I posted it. Open, though.]

"I would not be able to tell," Thorin replied, trying to look innocent. "Perhaps men have softer flesh than dwarves."
dwarvenswagger: (nice profile)

"Ah," Thorin replied, peering over at the supplies. "Are there no tradesmen who practice this art?"
dwarvenswagger: (hmmm)

"Is there meaning behind it? Or for decoration only?" Thorin asked, eyeing the gold hoop critically.
dwarvenswagger: (go on)

"I will be certain to inform my sister of this when I return home."

They were just going to be delightfully sarcastic at each other, weren't they?
dwarvenswagger: (so superior to men)

It totally was!

"Far from judgemental. I can tell."
