[ She doesn’t even both telling him she’s coming - she makes the assumption he’s in his own room and goes there, knocking sharply before she goes to open to door. ]
[ That makes Sidony go tense, a frown on her face. It explains the woman’s unkind and carefully planned behaviour at times, at least. She’s married to the woman she loves, even if she’s wed herself. ]
[ It does make her feel sour, in an odd, jealous way, even if she has no desire for that sort of affection from him. But he’s important to her, and he’s her rock, a lifeline in this place. The idea of losing any small part of that frightens her. ]
