Probably a good idea to use those, [Noctis grins, a little sheepishly. He's improved with free time to practice, but he's still very rusty, and anything looks better when drawn with proper references on hand. As it is, the doodle is still slowly coming together as a more cartoony-stylized rendition of a chocobo chick, with barcode wings and the numbers smothered in curled claws and nesting greens.]
[While Noctis works on that, Prompto pulls out his camera and starts looking for the right collection of files. It takes a while - there's a lot to go through. It's fortunate he just seems to somehow know exactly where the chocobo pictures are for some strange reason. It's like he's got them memorized or something.
Once he's found the black chocobo chick, he angles the view screen so Noct can reference it.]
I wanna try a few other ideas, but I'm like, 90% sure this what I'm going to want.
Sure, experiment all you want. It's your tat, might as well be happy with the end result.
[Especially considering the permanence. He looks up at the camera, taking in a few of the details he'd missed (as well as indulge in awww, chocobo, because it's been so long), and erases a section of the doodle to redraw it. Still need to figure out what to do with the diamond bits on the side...]
Might also want to find yourself a real artist, while you're at it.
[He doesn't sound...entirely thrilled with the idea. He can be as vague as he likes initially, but eventually he's going to have to explain what he needs an artist for.
He could try lying?]
Though I wouldn't be opposed to a Prince of Lucis original, either.
[That reluctance is easy to notice, and just as easy to understand. If Prompto doesn't even like showing the tattoo to his closest friends, it wouldn't be easy to explain the need for an alteration for it to a stranger.
He taps the pen against the side of the communicator thoughtfully.]
Well, if you're really prepared to have an amateur artist's work permanently attached to your skin just for the bragging rights, I'm not gonna judge your life choices.
[But if that's what Prompto prefers, he's definitely going to go all out and make it the best picture possible.]
[He is actually really happy with that idea? Not for bragging rights. It just feels more meaningful this way - to have something created by his best friend instead of someone else.]
Still gotta figure how to get it on the skin, unless you wanna try your hand at that too.

[He's liking this idea more and more and scoots closer, if that's even possible.]
I got reference photos. Tons.
[As Noct should already know, because he's already seen them.]

Yeah, I'll get right on that. But you'll have to volunteer your ass for a practice run.
