[As much as they enjoy their...marital activities, Kaveh does also find some joy in things like this--simply being close to each other, in perfect--if slightly clumsy--sync together. Two years ago, he couldn't have begun to imagine they'd be at a place like this. Not simply back to how they'd been in the Akademiya, but closer, their foundations finally built on true understanding, and not the assumptions they'd made about one another.
It is Alhaitham's companionship that keeps Kaveh afloat when his mind drifts back to the dark nadir of his guilt and sorrow--likewise, it is that steady hand that keeps him steady when his mind outpaces the limits of his body. The ebb and swell of Kaveh's heart, the weal and woe of his life and luck, is no longer something he has to face alone. There is someone there to help bring him back to shore.
When he thinks of it like that, he can't help but smile.]
