In KoA, when the King and Queen dance, "Phresine, the queen's senior attendant, watched them from behind the throne as her queen danced like a flame in the wind, and the mercurial king like the weight at the center of the earth. . . Phresine, leaving with the queen, heard Elia murmur under her breath, 'Well, that was revealing.' 'Only to those with eyes to see,' murmured Phresine back."

It took me a while to decide what I thought that meant, and even now I'm not positive.

I'm thinking it means that the Queen, who by reputation is cold and unfeeling and basically the equivalent of a statue, is not like that at all, but alive and warm "like a flame in the wind;" and the King, seemingly so irresponsible and a "prancing lightweight" is actually the solid anchor that allows her to be like that.

I'm sure there are other opinions out there, and I'd love to hear them.
