Work Text:

Calloused hands, firm and strong

Not the sort of hands you’d expect from a mayor

 

Hands torn from work and knuckles bruised from fights

Of course, merely custom for an Inspector


Hands soft, unmarred by toil

His first fight ripped his hands to pieces

 

Slender hands used to digging and planting

Never defenceless, not with her father

 

Hands showing the marks of many battles

She’s had to fight from the age of eight


A leader’s hands, patterned with bruises

He had to learn quickly when he left

 

Hands stained with paint, nails bitten down

Wrists marked with thin white scars


Hands always covered in ink stains from writing

The planner, rarely any time to clean his hands

 

Hands adorned with flower rings and painted nails

Still marked from fights, he’s not weak by any standard


Hands twisted nervously, pulse point memorised

Hands ready to help and heal, trained only by practice

 

Hands covered in notes and doodles

Notes of law and drawings of evidence

 

Small hands, often blemished with paper cuts

Hands that can punch better than either of her boys
