scene breakdown

The showcase of warmth happens quite evidently between Nina and Matthias in Shadow and Bone’s “The Heart is An Arrow,” and it’s still my absolute favorite scene between the duo in the first season. No, I’m not talking about the physical sharing of body heat. I’m talking about the passing of armor, and the detail that it means so much more than just chivalry. We’ve shared a lot of words
