HORIZON!AU (posting again cuz changed things + added clean version!)

On a journey through the wildlands with machines, Tech deciphers old data archives with records of different tribes and their traditions. At one of the stops, he enthusiastically talks about the ritual paintjobs of the tenakth people, and purely out of interest, he and Crosshair apply similar drawings and patterns to each other's faces.

Crosshair wasn't thrilled and was skeptical about the idea, but... Actually, he missed something so simple and stupid. He will never admit it, but he even liked it.

[RP based!]

Upd: Added a version without paint and art so you can see Crosshair's scars and tattoos better. These are not full-fledged references, which I still cannot bring myself to translate and prepare for tumblr, but already something.
