Before we get to Kirtimaan, let's linger on the brief happy times for a moment đ
There's that first conversation I just mentioned, where she's in awe of how he just saved her life and isn't even letting her make a big deal about it đ


And then the next morning, when they get the news that Ugrasen has reprimanded Kans and freed them of the house arrest he imposed--they're happy with each other even before (see the wide shot), but then she smiles this grin of victory when they finally have reason to think they'll be able to have a normal life together đ„ș Anyone have any headcanons of that first year-year and a half, before Kans's plotting came to fruition and they thought they were safe under Ugrasen's protection?
