The Silent Shore, Part II — Split - Ch15 "Silent Service"

“Lost?” I nodded. Her smile grew. “You can speak, love. I won’t tell.” My face flushed with heat, and I gulped, looking away from her face and to the space between us. Huh.  Her arm…there was a tattoo. I’d never seen a tattoo on a woman before. The sailors on the Pontus had them, of course, but nothing quite as intricate as this. It was a depiction of our moons as intertwined crescents with six starbursts arranged in equal distance around them. Surrounding the celestial beings like a halo were ancient runes that I recognized as words from the Old Tongue, though I couldn’t read the what they said.  “Do you want help finding your way back to Katania? Can’t imagine why…” she added, and I jerked my attention away from the tattoo, nodding at her again. She hummed, the corners of her lips toying with the idea of a smile again before she turned away, addressing someone behind her. “If Az asks where I’m at, tell him I’ll be right back.”
