Hiems and Cygna

((from 1223.1 In My Mother's Footsteps...I'm thinking stuff with Hiems and Cygna's relationship can go here, so as to not clutter other threads unnecessarily.))

That night, Cygna makes it plain that she is willing to go at Hiems's pace. [color=red]"I am yours, moja ljubov', tonight and always," she says softly as she slips out of her robes and climbs beneath the covers. [color=red]"If you wish to merely hold me, I am here for you. If you would take me, I give myself to you freely."

Surprisingly, this douses him, as she breaks his heart. She is too... wonderful, he just doesn't deserve her. He feels a shiver, and cygna sees him withdrawn.
Oh, katerina, I... and he stops, unable to speak, yet alone conceive, what he meant to say

TL, DR: Once in bed, they'll probably talk a little, hold a lot, kiss, and, one thing leading to another, make love tenderly She just needs to grab his attention*, and stop him from thinking.

• Pun intended

That night, Cygna sleeps fitfully, beyond glad to finally be in Hiems's arms, and yet...

The times she wakes up during the night, she has to reassure herself that this is real, that he is really there with her, running her hands over his body and snuggling in closer, blinking back the tears and running over what happened in her mind.

[color=red]"Hiems, love?" she says nervously the next morning as they snuggle in the bed. [color=red]"May I ask you a question?

"Last night...when I said that I am yours, and that I give myself to you freely. Was...was that something that She* had said to you before?"

• Cygna still can't bring herself to call Madame by her name, or even Madame. She always refers to her as Her or She, but the way she says it, it sounds like a proper name. Sort of like Him.
