I don't think so, but even so he isn't allowed to communicate with anyone.
--- Quote ---Maybe if Thomas *chooses* to pick up Amoracchius (sp?), it would kill the weakened Hunger Demon within him. I mean, the demon is susceptible to true love, Thomas is truly in love and Amoracchius is the sword of love. I mean, that's a whole lotta lovin' for a demon that is susceptible to love.
The question i have is if that does happen, then does Thomas age to his real age, or does he just age from that point on?

Thomas is only about eight years or so older than Harry, but if he loses his Hunger Demon then he ages at the same rate as any other vanilla human, because that is what he then is. Remember the vision Harry had of him in the soul gaze back in Blood Right, kind of a bespectacled nerd. However since he does have wizard blood from his mother's side, I guess he could age a little slower. I don't see him wielding the Sword of Love in Battle Ground though.

Maybe because before there was no one else in the same security level. Now there is.
(I'm assuming it's British voice from before)

Re: Contemplation Protocol
--- Quote from: Peace Talks ---There was one prisoner held below in a kind of unique stasis, something that could most closely be considered sleep, though he could also awaken and perform limited communications for short periods of time. It was, as best as I could understand, the only protocol with sanity-saving sleep built into it.
...
"Contemplation," I responded quietly. "He is to be shielded from any communication with other prisoners not enduring the same protocol."
--- End quote ---
It seems likely that the "one prisoner" is the British prisoner from the start of Skin Game, and that Harry, for some reason, wants that prisoner to be able to speak to Thomas. Otherwise, he could have just said "He is to be shielded from any communication with other prisoners."

It is a little confusing but I don't think he can. Harry talks about the different protocols. Then he mentions the one held in stasis [who we call the British prisoner] he was to sleep all of the time, with occasional communication, all for his sanity.
But then he goes on to say that the prison was never meant to hold someone as fragile as Thomas was at present.

In my opinion the protocols are very close, but not the same at all.

No.

Pg. 322
The protocol has a name. It's strongly implied other Wardens had come up with it. There is a prisoner held under the protocol. Contemplation is the only protocol that has sleep. The final bolded portion would be surplusage if there wasn't at least one prisoner sharing the protocol.
