i think she thought not showing any emotions was only natural since she believed the royals were demigods but i think that’s not true and she convinced herself of that delusion to be true to the point where showing no emotion was what she thought she had to do, and after experiencing such new things with kuhn she realised that she could in fact show emotion. ofc she is skilled in concealing her true feelings as she has been doing it for years, but i still believe my point still stands. i do know she fears of what she dreamed happened in that future but now she has the upper hand and power to influence it. she knows kuhns true feelings and she knows what she feels too, i’m convinced that she is confident but just feels unease due to the kuhn in her dreams. i do think your point is valid !

the silver kings elegance didn’t even waver when fatima mentioned kuhn because she has nothing to fear, she knows she has kuhns love so there’s no need to falter. what amazing self assurance, i love the silver king.
