۫ ꣑ৎ Alcina never thought she would meet someone who could truly match her presence, someone who stood tall beside her without ever flinching at her stature. The moment Alcina realized you were blind, she was secretly relieved—because for once, someone saw her for who she was beyond the towering figure and striking beauty. It shook her to her core that you adored her without ever laying eyes on her face, and Alcina treasures that deeply. 

۫ ꣑ৎ She is surprisingly gentle with you in private. Despite her sharp demeanor with others, with you Alcina lowers her voice, softens her tone, and makes sure every movement is slow and deliberate so you always know where she is. Alcina guides you with a hand at the small of your back or her fingers laced with yours, always ensuring you feel secure in her presence. 

۫ ꣑ৎ Alcina develops the habit of narrating things aloud whenever she is with you. From the way her daughters are bickering across the hall, to the sunlight spilling across the marble floors, she paints vivid pictures with her words just so you can experience everything through her descriptions. You tease her once for sounding like she’s reciting poetry, but Alcina secretly loves the intimacy of it. 

۫ ꣑ৎ Your blindness never once makes her think of you as fragile. Alcina admires your strength and independence, though she still insists on helping you with even the smallest things. She knows you are capable, but Alcina adores the excuse to take care of you—pouring your wine, guiding you through her castle, or reading aloud from her favorite books while you sit curled against her side. 

۫ ꣑ৎ Alcina has a particular fondness for watching how you map the world with your hands. Whether you are feeling the texture of a velvet drape or the curve of her collarbone, Alcina goes completely still, her breath catching every time your fingers trail across her skin. She is fascinated by the way you "see" her through touch, and she secretly hopes you’ll never stop exploring her in that way. 

۫ ꣑ৎ Being nearly the same height as her thrills the Lady more than she’ll admit. Alcina loves being able to hold you without bending down, loves the feeling of your presence being just as commanding as hers. It makes her feel like you are truly her equal, her partner, and not someone she must shield from the world’s gaze. It’s a rare kind of intimacy that she has never experienced before. 

۫ ꣑ৎ Alcina becomes fiercely protective whenever anyone even hints at pitying you for your blindness. Her eyes go sharp, her voice dripping venom as she shuts them down instantly. To her, you are perfection, and she will not tolerate anyone suggesting otherwise. Her daughters quickly learn to follow her example, and they treat you with the same respect they give their mother. 

۫ ꣑ৎ Affection between you two is something entirely unique. Alcina doesn’t shower you with dramatic gestures when it’s just the two of you; instead, she thrives on quiet closeness. She will tuck you against her, guide your hand to rest over her heart, or let you lean on her shoulder while she smokes in the dim glow of the fireplace. These moments of soft domesticity mean more to her than any grand show of power ever could. 

۫ ꣑ৎ Alcina adores dancing with you in the grand ballroom. She leads with care, describing each step so you never falter, but secretly she loves the way you trust her completely to guide you across the floor. She hums softly in your ear as you move, and though no one else can see your shared world in those moments, she knows it’s more beautiful than any waltz the castle has ever held. 

۫ ꣑ৎ She cherishes the way you kiss her face without hesitation. You never worry about her lipstick smudging or where exactly your lips land—you simply press kisses to her jaw, her cheekbones, her temple, anywhere you can reach. Alcina goes utterly still every time, overwhelmed that you don’t need to see her to love her so wholly. For a woman who has lived surrounded by mirrors and the opinions of others, your blind devotion is the most intoxicating thing she has ever known.
