[ They were planning an attack at the Winter Palace not too long ago. But Cullen couldn't say when things too such a strange turn. Though he worries not, especially not when he finds himself lost in her gaze, content in her touch where he seeks out more. Once he would have considered this inappropriate, and part of him still does... But she is no longer his charge, now his equal and his partner. There is no guilt in how he looks at her and how she touches him, and it brings a smile to his face. ]
