No, I think it's logical: when Ricky wears the uniform he takes his earring off. He puts it again when in casual. In all the locker room scene you can see it, more or less clearly.

YOUR ICON!!!

It's...fantastic! Damn I want one!
Sorry, a v v bad fangirling moment...but really, it's a great icon, and I think brilliant for the choice of 'the pose'..would you mind if I try to make a different one/ones (different color and pose), but still a recognisable 'Krycek pose'?

*stares at icon some more*
it's just brilliant :D

You sure? (and of course that one is yours :D and of course someone has tought of 'iRat' already, damn :)

Really, I am asking because I like to make sure that you don't mind at all, not even my using other poses - it's such a specific thing, an icon like this (in my rp community we've done iPods icons for our pups/characters around last year, I think, and there was a Krycek-character one, too, but yours is really distinctive).

the post is here:

and you can see one (for my pup) here:

Won't be upset or anything if you said, 'I'd rather you wouldn't', honest - I DO understand completely, and you'd be loved anyway :)

I'll see what I can do, then :D
thank you! *hugs*

And please do pass along my compliment for the icon to the icon-maker, it's really really good :)

The rock band is a plausible clue, for sure. And what about the Navy? Some say he was in for 2 months, some for 2 years. I found the diary of a Canadian Navy veteran who said himself was made an able-seaman after two years. So? I like to fantasize Nick was in for the longer time, crossed the line, and had his ear pierced then :o)

... even if he's one year older than Chiklis LOL. He still looks the younger one from far!
