[That question is what makes him sure he's made the right decision. Ryan had expected curiosity, had feared revulsion-- and what he gets is concern instead, the immediate focus placed not on that mark but on how it affects him. It brings a small, reassuring smile to his face as he gives his head a shake.]
No. Technically it's barely even there-- on a physical level, it's just skin deep. Points of planar crossover just... get a little weird, you might not want to touch it.
There's no danger, that I know of. It's- it's not technically a point of crossover in itself, all of me is-- this is kind of just a representation, I guess? A mark that got left when I died.
[He shrugs slightly. The particulars, he can really only guess at.]
Mostly I just meant that it feels pretty strange. Nothing goes all the way through, it won't let that happen.
[ He nods once again, sweeter this time, adjusting their positions slightly so he can lower his mouth to Ryan's shoulder, kissing the skin over the tarot card. ]
Thank you for showing me.
[ The tattoos, the mark, Ryan's pain--all of it. Finding someone to share burdens with is difficult. He has no intention of deploying all of his baggage on the human, or accepting all of Ryan's on himself; that is, in his mind, why he would take more than one partner. It spreads the pain, and the weight is eased.
For this moment, with Ryan a warm stripe along his front, Noh-Varr is content. ]
wtf I know I wrote a response to this yesterday

'Might not'? Is the danger real, or imagined?
[ He suspects the answer might more worryingly be 'I don't know'. ]
