Barberra was incredibly curious when she saw "Mr Ink's" new shop. "Mr Ink" himself was sitting in a chair, and as much as his manner and overall aura scared Molly, she was incredibly curious about him, just hanging back slightly behind Crewman Annamae Barberra. As he greeted them
T’Nik: Welcome to The Tusk! Have a look around. Tell me if anything piques your interest. ::sipping his coffee::
Barberra: You realize you’ve now made the Merchant District just about complete with your new shop... ::awed tone:: now it’s like the district of my dreams.
Ginnin perked up a bit at the comment.
T’Nik: A human that is excited to have a Tellarite shop in the vicinity? ::sarcastically:: Must be my lucky day. I shouldn’t have to mention that Children aren’t allowed in the shop...
Molly: I'm Eight! And a little over 1 month!
Barberra: This is Molly. She’s very inquisitive. ::Looking at Ginnin:: Can you give me a tattoo?
Ginnin set down his coffee, reaching for a PADD he had prepared with examples of his previous works and a sampling of his signature style.
T’Nik: This is a tattoo parlor after all. Here is some of my work if you wanted to look it over and decide on what you would like.
Ginnin watched as she set down the large duffel she had been carrying, retrieving her own PADD. She tapped on the small device a few times before handing it to the Tellarite.
Barberra: This is what I want, on the outside of my lower right calf.
He looked down at the PADD, and a snort escaped as he tried to hold back laughter. There wasn’t a picture. Just plain text, reading:
“* 1 cup self-raising flour
* 1 cup milk
* 1 egg
Whisk ingredients in a large bowl. Heat a lightly greased non-stick pan over low medium heat, and pour some mixture. Cook until bubbles break on the surface and underside is golden brown, then flip and cook for 1 minute. Repeat
process for remaining mixture, then serve with a topping of your choice.”
T’Nik: You’re joking...
Barberra: What?! I love pancakes.
Molly: Oooh Pancakes!
T’Nik: Pancakes... Indeed. Well, a customer is a customer I suppose. ::standing and motioning towards the barber’s chair:: A certain Language, or script you would like it in?
Barberra: response
Molly: What about it all being upside-down? Ooh! ooh! You could put in andorian print - that ones pretty... ::standing up straight, shoulders back, dead serious:: Or write every word backwards so that only the true pancake masters would have access to the recipie.
Ginnin let his arms fall to his side and hung his head.
T’Nik: You surprise me...Pardon. I don’t think I caught your name.
Molly: ::cheery:: I'm Molly!
Barberra: Response
T’Nik: Yes, Molly, thank you. Please, Enema... I mean Annamae. Take a seat and I will get started.
Barberra: Response
Molly: Crewman Annamae Barberra??
T'Nik/Barberra: response
As the two adults did... whatever they were doing, Molly looked around the room, at the chairs, the artwork... such intriguing artwork...
She walked over to some of them, almost inspecting them, first trying to read the vulcan-script on the tapestries before giving up and admiring the squiggles, walking dangerously close to some of the sculptures.
Barberra/T'Nik: response
Molly: I'm looking at the pretty-ness! I won't touch anything, promise!
Barberra/TNik: response
