Narin wasn't much of an artist, but she'd used to be passionate about it; mostly graffiti, because it'd pissed off her neighbors. Gods, her youth had been amazing after the end of the world.
Though it wasn't like there was anywhere for her to spraypaint around here, considering they lived on a mountain miles away from civilization. So she had to make do, with less.. Normal methods.
She'd "borrowed" a black marker, and made certain it wasn't permanent, before retreating to her room to doodle on her own skin. She started with flowers, stick figures, owls, skulls, before quickly moving onto various gang emblems she remembered. She was tempted to draw the Mark of the Felix clan, but she already had that tattooed on her lower back like a trampstamp. What was she saying? It was obviously a trampstamp.
Eventually she moved onto things like dragons, unicorns, griffins and mermaids. Her art was almost childish in a way, though the dark symbols finding their homes on her skin was probably disturbing. Which was why she'd locked her door- At least, she was fairly sure she'd locked her door. She wasn't going to get up and check right now though, she was drawing a really cool chimera on her thigh and that took a lot of concentration and acrobatics.
She was only wearing a croptop that was mildly tattered but still in decent condition, and a pair of jean shorts. She'd plundered plenty of clothes from her time as a loner, and this seemed like the most appropriate outfit for her current situation.

He didn't know what he was doing. The wave of anxiety hit at an odd time; just after eating, and he was looking for a quiet room to calm down in. He didn't feel scared exactly, just...tight. His chest was tight, his head was swimming. He wasn't quite sure what was going on, as he blundered into the hallway, empty but for doors leading to bedrooms. It was better out here, easier to think. Or at least, easier to...not think. And not worry about people. What were people thinking? Why couldn't he focus? He'd just been eating, just talking, when it happened. Well, he hadn't been talking. He'd been listening. It was fading now, the sense of....whatever it was. The quiet helped. A bit irritated with himself as he began to relax, he exhaled and pushed into the first room he could see. It's door was shut but not locked, and he entered, swinging it shut and just sliding down the wall onto the floor.
Then he looked up, and saw...Narin.
Uh oh.
Johannes wasn't one to disrespect someone's privacy. He wasn't much of a snooper. But he also wasn't scrambling to get out. He could see the markings over her body, the drawings, and his eyes were drawn to every bit of skin she was showing before he'd even acknowledged to himself that this probably wasn't a good place for him to be. "Uh...sorry." He mumbled, clearing his throat as he stood, still glancing over her. "I --didn't know. Where you were...staying." A pink flush had begun to spread across his cheeks.
Sinking fast,
the weight chained to my feet
No time to argue
with belief
I'm not alone, a thousand others dropping
Faster than me

Since this takes place before Gray got trapped, Narin was pretty much the one person he was avoiding and the one person he had some kind of issue with. Typically, he'd do his best to stay away from the ex-enforcer, but today he'd been poking around in the living quarters, trying to get an idea of where the newer folks were staying. He wasn't knocking on any doors or anything, in fact he was doing his best to go unnoticed. However, when he heard Johannes' voice apologizing from inside one of the rooms, he couldn't help but investigate, sticking his head in to find Joh looking anxious and Narin covered in drawings. Crap, he'd just gotten caught up in some awkward shit.

Okay, she definitely should've locked that. Narin jolted as the door opened, her eyes locked on her boss as he slid to the floor before noticing her. Her eyes moved to Gray, who was also peeking in.
She bit her lip awkwardly and set down the marker she'd been using, not really caring as Johannes curious gaze took in the blank ink lining her skin. She was more of.. Okay, maybe she was a little bothered by it.
"It's- It's fine, boss," Narin said as he stood up. "I ah, forgot to lock that." She mentioned, her fingers clinging to the bedsheets underneath her uncomfortably tightly. "Is there something you two need?" She asked, not really knowing how to tell them to get the fuck out without being an asshole. Sides, Johannes looked close to a breakdown when he came in and she was kind of interested in what was up.
Gray's entrance startled the dictator, and he turned quickly to see him, feeling his cheeks warm even further. Narin was practically--well, okay, she wasn't naked. but it felt wrong to be in here regardless. The fact that she was...decorated in...marker made it all the stranger, and feel all the more intrusive. He tore his eyes away, back up to her features, and nodded quickly, then paused. What had she said? Her words--well, he'd heard them, but they'd just gone right through his comprehension, leaving yet more confusion. Something wasn't right, but it wasn't exactly unfamiliar to him. He opened his mouth--but the instant he'd asked, "What?" Quietly, her words clicked and he shook his head to clear his thoughts. "Right. Um--no, I--sorry, I was just...looking for an...empty room." That sounded suspicious, didn't it. Why was he looking for an empty room? He just needed one. He wasn't even sure if he had a good reason. Or at least not one he could necessarily articulate. Why was that kid always snooping--His thoughts had wandered back to Gray, who was still....peeking in. "I'll just--um, sorry. I'll go--" He turned again, frowning at Gray's inquisitive face, and made...some sort of gesture, as if to say, 'go on', pushing past him in the doorway. He felt flushed and hot, and really--getting out of her face was probably the best option.
