[ He's halfway through reaching for the scissors when he pauses, a slight frown on his face. While he has no issue with being topless around Tighnari, what if the panic comes not from morality, but from something more dysphoric? What if it's uncomfortable for the other to be faced with a more obviously-masculine chest, right when he's still trying to come to terms with being open about who he is? ]
...It's not, uh, upsetting to you, is it? I can put it back on if you need that.
[ This is new territory for him, after all, but the last thing he wants is for Tighnari to be upset by anything he might do. ]
