It was through Scott’s guidance, he’d been able to imagine a world where he could be tender. Briefly, ever so briefly, there’d been a possible world where Nom’s muscles didn’t need to ache from anything more than tending a garden, or practicing his guitar, or taking the long trek across the kingdom to visit a friend for a cup of tea. But what chance at softness Nom’d had- skin uncovered by armour, blood that could so easily flow, a heartbeat that slowed when calm and raced when excited, all these human things- had been given up for the sake of more strength, more violence, more hard-shelled protection. Scott finds Nom in the RueBar at 3am “preparing” for the upcoming battle. Nom explains that he feels like something is going to end tomorrow, and so takes the moment to enjoy Scott’s quiet company for the night while he can, because the way things are turning out, even if Nom survives, he might never be the same. The hardness of the bark on his skin might one day lose the ability to register Scott’s soft comfort.
