Being a queen is not always about business and politics. For a moment, Haki is simply held. Her husband's arms looped around her waist pulling her closer, feeling the warmth and steadiness of each breath he takes. Feeling safe in the embrace of his arms and the lack of space between them.

Her gown despite its beauty and its fullness doesn't even hope of taking away this closeness. Izana's fingers move just slightly now, wiggling against her, though the closeness makes that motion not as imperceptible as it would be otherwise.

And Haki never felt unsafe around him or in this castle or as queen, but here, she can really feel at home and at peace and safely wrapped up in warm arms and just held.

Haki whispers for lack of any other way to convey her heart, "I love you."

"I love you too." And Izana's voice is gentle and soft in her ear, and she just feels so loved, so warm, so seen, so enveloped.

Being the queen comes with some amazing moments especially when you've married the one you love so much.
