When deciding on something, Law is rarely someone to go back on his opinion or resolution... unless there's a good reason for it.

And really, he could still just wave all of this off, just nod to the part about the missing smile, nothing else... and hope that Cora never sees the rest of jos tattoos.

But the chances of that happening? Ha. Zero. He knows well enough how hard it is, trying to conceal things when living in such close quarters.

Law sighs. Isn't that why Cora told him about the changes now, too? Before he'd have a chance to find out on his own, and have a worse reaction.

And though this is hardly similar... for the first time in a while, Law goes back on his decision, and thinks that maybe, ripping off the bandaid at once is best. And so he heaves another sigh and just takes off his shirt, without explanation... because when he turns to Cora, the rest of his tattoos fully visible, they're probably explanation enough.

"Don't say anything," he mutters, knowing that it's likely words wasted. But at least he tried.
