"Hey, One, why don't you get something?" Two smiled as they hovered into the design parlor. Two was having the lines on her chest touched up; the last stop for the sisters before they headed home. They had spent the whole day shopping around Balbar, Axiom's largest coastal town.
"What?" One laughed, "You think I should get body art?"
"Why not?" Two cocked her head. She lead One into the waiting area and took out a catalogue, flipping through it to find some of the more subdued designs.
"I mean, I get why you have yours. You and Nos haven't been married long, so wearing that on your chest must be fun, but... I'm somebody's mother," she laughed again, "I can't just come home with body art!"
"Oh, quit acting like I'm your edgy little sister! We're the same age," Two sneered as she flipped through the catalogue.
"In years only, little sister."
"Come on! How else could you possibly define age?"
"Mentally, emotionally... I mean, while I was starting a family, you ran away from home and ended up married to the first person to kidnap you!" One teased.
"Thanks, 'Somebody's Mother,'" Two rolled her eyeforms. She found the pages she was looking for and showed them to One. "I'm not saying you should get a design as dramatic as mine, but what about something small like this? I know Nos loves mine... I'm going to get some red highlights this time. The last time I got red, he... well..." she blushed and moved on, "Really, I bet Wall.E would love it if you got something."
One looked over the thin, twining patterns that Two showed her, unable to disguise her interest. What was the point in hiding it when Two looked so smug anyway?
"You know..." One admitted, "these little vines might look nice in a pale silver. If I tried something on my wrist and didn't like it, I could just have it removed, right?"
Two smiled wide enough to split her visor.
