Konrads beloved laments that she isn't able to hold and shelter him like he does her. Isn't able to curl around him from behind and wrap him up in her warmth like he does her. That she isn't able to give him that. For Konrad of all people needs to feel protected.
At some point she actually tries to spoon him. It looks ridiculous. It is possible to spoon someone taller within human height variation, but a baseline trying to spoon a primarch? Her feet barely reaching his ass when she lays outstretched. Her face in his black locks and her holding his hand. Maybe he decides it's too ridiculous and quits but thanks her anyway. Maybe the very fact that his back is warm being is enough to cause that feeling of safety. Either way he is deeply touched by the gesture.
