A boxer. [The repetition comes with both acknowledgement and understanding, and it puts most of Wriothesley's physique into perspective. The rest... the scars are notably glanced over, taken in but assumed better to not talk about with a stranger.
... even if that stranger is braiding their hair, or more importantly combing through it. That is enough to pull little shivers from Nimah, a thoughtful hum on their lips.]

[Their fingers work their way up over his shoulders and neck now, tracing along his jaw. said fingers twitch slightly as his fingers run through their hair, a shiver that cuts through much of their relative calm. it's so sensitive, they can't help it.] One of my duties entails weapon training for newly Awakened humans... so I have some experience with various body types. But thank you, it's taken a few decades.
