Her arms go tightly around him and she never, ever wants to let go.
"You--oh, my love, don't--you deserve better than this. You do," she says, firmly, and into his hair. "Better than this, and me, because you deserve anything. And everything. But I promise it's real. I promise you won't wake up from this. I promise, and I'm a queen, so you have to listen to what I say," and she doesn't care if it's not quite true, he shouldn't ever doubt this.
And her lips are soft again his hair again as she promises, "Not that. I won't tease about that. Not ever. Lion forsake me if I do."
