"It's the price I pay for free education and rent," Desmond quips back, only to look at Ghoul with some mild alarm as he suddenly finds himself the focus of attention. That's something he finds uncomfortable under most circumstances to begin with but doubly so when it's coming from someone who tackled you on your first meeting.

"It's a tattoo," he says, stating the obvious and holding his arm up so Ghoul can get a better look without having to invade his personal space any further or (heaven forbid) grab it. He's not sure why it's drawn his interest, given that what little he's seen of Ghoul seems to suggest he's much more extreme than Desmond's single piddling arm tattoo.
