Reason 2. He has had plenty of chances To do something agressive to the neverseen and he hasn't. He has never gone on the offensive with his ability except to break forcefields. Even with (Nightfall spoilers) the gorgonop in Nightfall he still didn't do anything but him other people. There has to be a valid reason for that.

Reason 3. How did he get the reputation for being "the worst wayward" in exillium? Not by staying close to Linh. The healer told Sophie to stay away from him and not mess with Linh--he wouldn't say that unless tam had made it clear not to touch her, but of course, communication is forbidden so...I think he did a bit more than break a few rules.

Reason 4. But unlike Linh, he wasn't worried about Sophie  Enhancing him. Linh was afraid she would lose control like she did when she flooded Atlantis, but Tam had no such hesitation. He knows he can control his ability well. That means that if he DID hurt someone, he did it at least partially on purpose. Some part of him wanted to make whoever it was pay for something, probably hurting Linh.

Reason 5. He always stayed VERY close to Linh when he didn't trust someone, like close enough the he would be able to touch anyone who tried to hurt her. I get that staying that close probably made him feel like he could do more, but why keep that distance of you could defend her with shadows?

Reason 6. When Linh decided to go to Ravagog with Sophie, Tam immediately joined instead of trying to talk Long out of doing something dangerous that could get her hurt. He did this because he really does want to help, and he's a good person at heart. He wants to help people.

So what if he hurt someone while trying to protect Linh, and the guilt nearly broke him so Linh made him swear never to do it again??
