[Sumi wasn't sure of what to expect. Huo seemed troubled by what he'd seen, and what it could mean about himself. She'd heard of and seen people whose entire bodies were covered with tattooed markings of ghastly images; she didn't expect his would be so bad.
Sumi's own markings were something of a mystery to her. The 'pride' beauty mark she understood and couldn't really argue with. She was somewhat proud, and wouldn't delude herself to think otherwise. What the makeup and the phoenix could represent, she didn't know. Perhaps Huo might have some insight on that, though their cultures were likely disparate enough that he might interpret something entirely different.]
