[Later that night, well after most people should be asleep, Sigmund lays in bed doing something that might generously be called uneasy dozing. There's something that's been bothering him for a few nights now. A quiet whisper, a faint hint of perfume... once again, he tries to convince himself it's just his imagination. Stop being foolish, just go to sleep. With a growing feeling of unease, he rolls over and reaches for his pillow, so that he can pull it to him. He's tired, he's imagining things, it will all be gone in the morning... Except that under the pillow, his hand brushes against something cold and hard. His fingers curl around it, and he pulls out... a pendant - the size of his palm, startlingly familiar.
He isn't in bed for much longer. Tying his robe around his waist, he looks around, wondering where he can possibly get some sleep now. The floor? The couch in the sitting room? No...

There is nothing stopping you.
She touches the back of his head, fingers on his hair, and reminds herself not to think of him as Volsung even in the slightest. Even if he had the memories to match.

He does make you happy, doesn't he?

...if that is what you wish.
Do what pleases you. [...But he still doesn't like him.]
...okay so he's grown up and remembering his past life and all that, BUT HE'S STILL HER SIGMUND. Her tired-looking Sigmund who changed the subject, and now she is going to do the same.]
...you have not been sleeping well, Sigmund.
I rarely sleep well.
