"I'm sure the Valient won't fall to bits if you spent and hour or two with us." Joey stated softly. "And even if it started to, you have several competent family members to help." He smiled back slightly. "You've always helped us when we had a problem."
Joey nodded. "I'll let you know if I need anything else Uncle." He gave a smile. "You still spoil me." The smile faded as his uncle brought attention to his bare hand, not pulling away when the man touched the blank skin. "I've been asking around if any of the soldiers know how to tattoo. I don't feel right. Not having the family tree there."
