Rin's eyes immediately fell to his neck, "May I see?"

He looked at her, about to tell her that he rather she didn't, but instead leaned back just enough to pull the collar of his sweater over to show the red, swirling burn tattooed on his neck.

Rin leaned in to get a good look before smiling slightly, "Wanna see my scars, too?"

He looked back at her. "Are any of your scars like mine?" If not, then he didn't see how looking at her scars would even matter.

Rin nodded, "There's one that was from plants like... growing into me. Gruesome at the time but like your neck, the results... well... not as horrifying."

She was offering, and he was curious as to how his scar compared. He'd only seen scars from sharp talons or weapons in the Infirmary and men's shower room. Nothing similar to his own.
"Can I see it?"

"Hang on," Rin offered as she started to undo the ties on her cincher and then carefully unbuttoned her shirt from the bottom up to less than mid-way. She turned and tugged her trousers down slightly to show him the curling scars around her hip and stomach and one part even resembling flowers with long narrow petals like a lily. "See?"

Melvin really sure where this scar was, but now that he actually saw her undoing her top, he looked around wondering if the men's bathroom was the smartest place for a woman to be stripping. Luckily (?) it wasn't too far, and she showed off a hip. Unlike most scars, this one turned and twisted like curving vines, and then blossomed in a jagged scar. "It's....oddly pretty. You could fool people into thinking it's intentional." He did have to wince a bit. "Looks like it hurt."
Then he grew a bit concerned. "They....took all the plant out, right?" She wasn't infected with some strange plant spores, was she?

"It did hurt. A lot. But it was more creepy than painful to feel a living thing crawling under my skin. Clawing, searching, digging through my flesh," Rin smiled wearily as she redid her buttons with care. The main plus to golems was having both arms back... but she was down to one again. Buttons were easy enough, but the cincher was tricky.
"And yeah, all the plant is long gone. Just like you and your bug. Some techs scanned us, just to be sure." She offered a weary smile, "It's not my only scar anyway."

"Ah, I guess after you've been here this long, you get all types of scars in different ways." He felt a bit stupid now complaining and being this self-conscious over something that was probably this common-place. "You probably think I'm silly for being this worked up over it when you've probably went through worse." It wasn't like him to get worked up over anything.

Rin chuckled a little then offered him a smile, "At least I got mine here. Where I was not alone. I can only imagine how scared, confused, and alone you felt. It's one thing seeing things and everyone thinking you're crazy for it - even worse when you have actual 'proof' in the form of an injury and still no one believes it."
Rin affectionately bumped her shoulder into Melvin's, "Comeon let's steal some icecream."

"I'm not 12 now." He rose himself up slowly and still felt shaky. Even the idea of eating made his stomach twist. Offering his hand to her, he breathed out. "Can...I get a shower first?" They had been sitting on the floor, and he still felt...revolting all over. It probably would help his nerves too.

Rin took his hand and hauled herself up with it, "Hey now. Never too ******** old for ice cream." He was right though.. the bathroom floor is filthy... worse so in the men's she'd imagine... just think of all the...-NOPE NOPE. She nodded in agreement, "I should go shower too... the pods always leave me feeling gross." Except that wasn't why. "Meet you after?"

"Alright. After." Rin might be waiting after the long shower Melvin had planned and maybe some composure breathing exercises after. Talk or not, he wasn't fully recovered.
Opening the door, he let Rin out and followed before noticing a Hunter on his way to the bathroom stop and just stare.
It was good they left when they did.
