Ashlynn’s Mark

Ashlynn's hesitation lasted for only a few moments. Amahle had already revealed her own mark. Even if Ashlynn didn't understand how to interpret it now, she would eventually. The other woman had already taken the initiative to reveal her own weaknesses before asking to see Ashlynn's, exactly as a big sister should. 

"It's on my hip," Ashlynn said, looking slightly embarrassed. Her mark was something that had only been seen by a very few people and over time, it had come to take on the same sort of taboo to her that revealing her naked breast would have held. Even though she'd made the decision to reveal it, when it came time to actually do so, her fingers hesitated at the hem of her dress.
