Grunt paid little more attention to Jameson going by than to anyone else in the room, though something about the way he 'didn't pay attention' added up to something more like 'knowing everything that was going on in his surroundings'. Seemingly not annoyed or disapproving of Jameson's touch on his arm, 'A' only shrugged at the contact and watched as the young man darted up the stairs.<br/><br/>At the top, the door swung open almost as quickly as Jameson had knocked and standing behind it was Dirty Dale and behind him was Tonto. Tonto nodded to the kid as Dale pushed by him. "Heard the bells...thanks," Tonto said through half a bite of what little was left of his lunch.<br/><br/>"Hey kid!" Dale called up the stairs and pointed at Jameson as he was reunited with grunt at the bottom. "Make room on your schedule for the day after tomorrow. I'm sending this one in for marking." Dale thumbed back at Grunt And thanks for the donation. Tonto says you're a generous guy."<br/><br/>Tonto looked to Jameson with a shrug and subtle roll of the eyes. Jameson's 'donation' would be free work for the Jokers. "Don't sweat it, Jamie, you'll just be inking his grunt mark. No biggie," Tonto's words were quiet and lost to the others' on the din of the crowd. Tonto smiled and gave Dirty Dale a wave as SoA headed for the door with Grunt trailing behind to watch his back.<br/><br/>"TONTO!!!!" The singer called up as Tonto made his way down and began what would be a grand night of tattoos, booze, chicks, and music. The work would come first, of course, and while Tonto would set to work on the singer's back piece, Jameson had time to deal with the other, smaller, walk in pieces that the band and friends all wanted. The standard local crowd would come and go through open hours until the evening came and Tonto turned the closed sign and the real tattoo and band party began. The band guys were all pretty nice and a little on the younger side, as were the girlfriends which afforded Jamie the opportunity to have a few conversations that didn't revolve around things that happened a decade before his birth.
