I'm glad you thought the "OMG! moment" was okay, because I know the situation is more complicated than this -- they both know that Betriz has seen his scars before, and she'd be able to feel them in the dark, anyway. But I didn't want to turn the dialogue into some giant expositional exercise, so I kept it kind of minimal.
Unlacing shirts? Yum. ;)
Hee hee. I wondered about the logistics of the linen undershirt for a while, and finally decided that they probably wouldn't waste buttons -- which would have had to have been hand-carved -- on underwear. ;)
On another note, you might consider linking this at bujold_fic and lmbujold.
Thanks for the suggestion. I had wondered about the first one (didn't know about the second one!). Maybe I will... although I have been trying not to look too hard at any Bujold communities, because I'm only two thirds of the way through the Vorkosigan series and don't want to end up accidentally spoiling myself by chancing upon the wrong fic summary, heh. (I've already seen a reference to a dismaying character death, but at least it wasn't clear if it was canon or fic-specific.)
