The queen feels lonely, listening to the rain as it comes down in a sheet. Each clap of thunder startles her, and she wonders if he hears it too. His kingdom is vast but welcoming, a blanketed fortress, sealing in the heat. He offers her comfort, protection; it's what he loves to do. She's not scared or weak or asking for help, but it's no fun being alone. So they take shelter in each other and together ride out the storm.
