Continuing my streak of Chapter's approval status over their Primarch's Consort; unlike other Chapter's where either there is a light grace period or uphill battle in gaining their trust and loyalty - the Salamanders adore you immediately. It's in their very Geneseed to care, consider, value and protect human lives and you are Father's Beloved, therefore those instincts are even more so set in stone.
That doesn't mean they coddle you, no. But out of every other Chapter over their Primarch's Consort the Salamanders respect for you is the most genuine and strong... but they can still spoil you a bit, out of love, they are your sons too now afterall. And good children treat their parents, especially ones so kind and caring as you.
So many gifts are crafted from the forges of Nocturne, from decorative pieces, to jewelry, to ceremonial blades created in your honor and blessed with your name. So many in fact you may not even know what to do with all of them. And not just crafted gifts, some Brothers have even brought it upon themselves to venture out in the dangerous volcanic peaks to hunt the giant creatures that bare their namesake and bring back the head to you as a physical manifest as son of Vulkan and you, it is both of your names they shout in battle after all.
Every year comes the Time of Trial, a rough period for Nocturne where it and Prometheus nearly collide so close together it causes physical strain and shift among the two. As Consort, given your husband's duties unfortunately can have him elsewhere during these times you come as the figurehead for the people of both galaxial bodies, constantly coordinating between settlements and clans to make sure there is as little or none at all - sadly, very rare - casualties as possible. A task that can't be understated as exhausting, so of course your sons that are stationed on their Chapter's Homeworld and it's moon help out as much as they possibly can - taking as much burden from you from it all as they can and tend to the people.
Seeing you interact and be so kind and gentle with Nocturne's common people is always nice to see, actually is what captured Vulkan's heart in the first place, so it's also very reassuring to the Salamanders and especially during these times of need they too will sweep in and help - whether it be bring and moving supplies, setting or fixing shelter, or entertaining the youth by telling stories. But even with that it seems none of them can ever shine a light to you with how much you get involved, nothing is ever too big or too small for you when it comes to the people, the people are always the first amongst your thoughts and you'd gladly put their care and comfort over your own if it meant their well-being. It's very admirable and if somehow the sons of Vulkan weren't sold beforehand it would be outright impossible now not to... though while your efforts are very respected and appreciated they do have to make you eat and rest at a certain point.
The Time of Trial is rough, very especially in the beginning before you get use to it year after year, afterall you always have the best support in your loving husband and your adoring children by your sides. Always.
