i think about tomas. a lot.
he's a hunter at heart, he always has been. i believe before he was taken in by the lin kuei, he was already surviving off of what he/his family could find. he's always been a survivor !
and it frustrates me when he is mischaracterized as "soft."
he's a man who has experienced enough tragedy for a lifetime, let alone at such a young age. he's gentle because he chooses to be.
if he wanted (and canonically does,) he could always revert to that hunter instinct. perhaps he bottles up those negative emotions, all for the sake of survival.
yay smokey bear !
