Nereid's abysmal self-confidence shows here. I mean, she has the power to literally suck the marrow from his bones (the third worst pain a human being can feel) or make him explode with a thought and yet he's letting him, that despicable, pathetic little worm of a man, do to her what amounts to rape.
Oh well. It is conflict and hardship that helps people grow, if it doesn't utterly crush them first. One day Nereid might actually realize she squashed like a bug a wizard winning against four heroes at once or that making it snow takes as much energy as a mid-level nuke. And then Tam might no longer be happy with his lot in life.
