Yes. ( the answer is immediate, no hesitation or hint of shyness. for all that thomas doesn't ordinarily let himself think too hard about how attractive other men are, for all that he doesn't let himself linger on his physical wants, on anything but duty and responsibility most of the time, he's never been shy. the war and everything that had happened since, ageing, loss, those things had put a damper on his libido.
being here with far fewer responsibilities and duties than ever before, with native magic nudging him, that damper is coming undone.
when jim takes off his shirt, he'll find some scars on thomas' body, signs of a lifetime of service —in the foreign office, in the army at ettersberg, in the police force. there's one on his shoulder, healed but still relatively fresh, where he'd been shot in the back. another on his leg, but that's for later. )
