[ rhys has had his tattoo shop with vaughn and yvette since the three of them graduated college. rhys and yvette handle the ink, vaughn handles the business, and they've gained a pretty good reputation around the neighborhood and tattoo circles alike for being good at what they do and decent folk about it. rhys has a pretty simple life and he enjoys it, strives to be good at what he does and treat himself pretty decently and he's happy.
still, he could be happier.
that's what he's thinking, of course, when in walks their new neighbor to their shop. it's a slow day and rhys is out front, sitting on one of the couches they keep in the waiting area and playing a game on his robot arm -- a pretty advanced piece of tech that he saved him and replaced soon after graduating and opening up the shop. it helps him in his art, makes his tattoos even more fluid and natural when he's able to be so precise. it gives an edge to his work that people come from all over just to experience.
the neighbor that shows up is... surprising. he knew a new shop opened just a few months ago -- a flower shop -- and it's nothing that rhys really thought about pursuing. flowers just really weren't his thing. he heard yvette and vaughn talking the other day about how weird the owner of the shop was too but rhys didn't go seek them out. now, at the stranger in his shop, he understands the gossip. ]
Uh.
[ a surprised blink and the holograph disappears in a flash as rhys pushes up from the couch and hesitates a moment before walking over. ]
