[ He was about to send her a picture of his tattoo as well as comment on her skills - namely the one involving cars - but he's so focused on one part of everything she just said that's pretty hard to skip over. ]
I'm sorry for your loss... Are you okay? [ Does she need a hug? ]
[ He feels even worse for her knowing her dad was a bad person because that makes grieving for him complicated. ] He was still your dad so you're entitled to be upset... or to not feel anything either, or even feel glad he's gone. [ She shouldn't feel guilty for feeling any of those things. ]
Emma's good. My tattoo was actually for her. Are you familiar with Morse code? [ You heard right - he's that much of a nerd he got a tattoo in Morse code. ]
[ He can tell it's a distraction for her, which he's more than happy to give. ]
Hold on, let me send you a picture. It's on my chest, just to warn you. [ Hopefully that won't weird her out, though the picture is a close up of the top of his left pec so it's nothing too revealing.
The tattoo reads: . -- -- .- Which is essentially Emma's name over his heart. ]
Yeah, well done. [ He smiles at her proudly. ] You like it? I know tattooing your partner's name on yourself can be kinda cheesy but I think my use of Morse code is a nice touch, if I do say so myself.
You're the first person I've shown it to, other than Emma. [ He doesn't need anyone else to like it obviously, but he's glad she's not making fun of it. Not that he expected her to. ]

I know Morse code-- [ She's grinning at that, the idea of a nerdy tattoo is a great distraction.]

I am going to go by Archie's before orientation but... I'll talk to you soon, I hope.

If there's anything you need, let me know. Take care, okay? [ He'll worry if she doesn't. ]

Same goes to you, Bellamy. [ on both accounts.]
