so it was done. so did iglux̂and cen become one, and his heart leapt with a sudden thrumming realization anew that he did not need to keep himself so veiled any longer. at last! he wished to shout it to the skies, and any thoughts of earlier revenge or well-kept desire was pushed aside, to the back of his mind. another time bid their contemplation; these moments were gifted to triumph, to himself and to her and to meleys, who had bound them.
and sweet it was.
he trusted his sister and the saatsine. the single eye filled with all of iglux̂, suffused with her loveliness, wrapped his face in pleasure and amusement at her expression.
come, and here he tested its bond, their bond, with a little pull. his mouth ached for her own.
come away with me, wife.
honey held no pleasure even to compare to this.
his smile was true; he teased iglux̂ with another gentle motion and gestured toward the open land blanketed with white. their seven days waited beyond the seeing eyes of any hunter.
