One aspect of the scene that I rather like is the fact that here, Irene is free and light "like a flame in the wind", while Gen is the one who steadily grounds her and anchors her. Since Gen usually is/is percieved as being "mercurial", changeable and unpredictable, while Irene, as queen, has to be dependable and consistent and is trapped in that role, I think it says a lot that their roles as a couple don't neccesarily follow their public persona, that Irene can let go and Gen can stay still and support her. (Like, which I've just thouht of now, the scene where Gen wants to pace about and growl, but understands how silence and stillness is a refuge to Irene and 'offers it to her as a gift'.
