Yes, as though now, finally, he's comfortable in his own skin. Also, I think he's 'laid himself bare' to his mother; he approaches her now with no pretense, no subterfuge. He is wholly himself in her presence, and Philippa's. There is nothing to hide, symbolically. -- Shamrocks & Stones

In reply to: Tess 's message, "Q3. I think Lymond was joking about the obvious state of his undress, but also speaking as a metaphor. The Digambara Monks wear no clothes so that they are free of all possessions and not subject to pride or shame. I think this is an excellent description of what Lymond has become upon his return." on 10:41:00 05/20/09 Wed
