OK, I'll give it a tumble.

I sort of see the two of them enacting a 1940s movie love story, with 
all the melodramatic (if Yashmeen's using the right word) elements, a 
circumstance both of them are aware of, the kicker being the very 
un-1940s sex talk and the fact that, as they both also know, Cyprian 
imagines Yashmeen as a man.

It's quite perfect.
