#In any case Kiera reassures him that as long as her tattoos stay on her there's absolutely no need to worry.

Been thinking about this for a little while, but I do not have any actually sexy thoughts in regards to that, they just evolved into something ridiculous, so I'm not putting it in the tags of the original post.

After a long process of thinking, I would guess that Thistle thinks that Kiera looks the hottest in some actual armour/military uniform. Unfortunately for him, though, she does not act the part. She just keeps whining and complaining about being uncomfortable all the time while she's wearing said armour, and tries to discreetly take it off.

Kiera says that she will only agree to wearing armour if Thistle agrees to wearing short sundresses for her. Thistle himself is offended that she would even think that his motives could be so shallow, based on mere carnal desires, and tries to explain to Kiera (once again) that this is needed for her own safety or, at the very least, sanity. He still doesn't think that experiencing so much pain is good for her, nor that enjoying it is in any way healthy.

(Kiera once again wonders, did she get a boyfriend, or did she get a mom... Because sometimes Thistle can act just like the mother that tries to wrangle her kids into wearing warm hats outside during winter.)
