"It is. My Hob has brought out the very best of me, helped me see that being my true, authentic self was the only way to live. I fear that if we had never met, I would still be hiding behind an elven glamour, pretending to be someone I am not."
They beam over at Hob, then to wherever Winter is out there among the crowd, and then back at Steve, knowingly. "I spent my whole life hating my claws, until I saw his. Because how could I hate in myself what I found so beautiful in him? Love makes us all better, it allows us to find the beauty we had always failed to see in ourselves before."
