Bella's words startled Avi, badly. He had fallen into a half-asleep state, and so didn't hear her approach. The handcuffs fell from his hands as he slapped a hand over the left side of his face, covering not only his tattoo but the shards well. he had no issues with someone seeing his tattoo, but he was uneasy about the star shards. He jerked forward almost automatically so that his hair could fall forward to cover whatever his hand wasn't covering, along with providing a cover for his eyes.

"I've got nothing against it." Avi answered, his free hand picking the handcuffs back up and reclipping them to his belt loop.
