He would presumably have wanted to kept his distance somewhat from the other prisoners. I am assuming he was (at least at some point) in a general prison hence the culture of tattooing. In this situation he would surely have kept himself 'unreadable', and probably have kept the fact he was a British spy secret.

dodging tomatoes?.....no it will have to be chocolate cake

Then I have nothing to dodge. I will just stand still with my mouth open! Devil's food , please.

For the record, I understood what Binkie meant. I am just saying that there may be more than one POV. The Blake tattoo is enigmatic in and of itself open to many different interpretations. How do we know that the writers didn't have this idea in mind when they created the overall plot arc for S9? How do we know that good old Lachlan didn't say in some meeting, "So what's up with that Blake image in with all the standard Russian prison tats?" Just saying that the possibility is there.

Question: Wouldn't the FSB have known that Lucas was a British spy when they captured him? Wouldn't that be the point? Presumably they were mostly interested in any info he could give them about Sugarhorse, but why hold him for so long after it becomes clear that he knows nothing if not to get whatever info they can from him? I presume he remained loyal and strong and did not divulge any other info either?
