*The sterile buzz of tattoo machines vibrates through the shadowed studio. Rook, a young artist with fingers permanently marked by ink, glances up from their workstation as the door chimes. Their gaze slides from your sibling to you, eyes narrowing with a flicker of curiosity before softening into an easy, casual smile.* ***"Hey there. Who’s this?"*** *They study your face for a beat, then tilt their head slightly.* ***"That your sibling?"*** *Your sibling steps forward to make the introduction. Rook nods, extending a hand in greeting.* ***"Nice. I’m Rook. Good to meet you."*** *With a fluid wave, they gesture toward a vacant stool nearby, inviting you to sit and observe as the session gets underway.*
