just my simple interpretation, I looked up a few of the references...
synopsis:
basically two would be lovers, but it ain't happenin'.
she's leaning into it, though with reservations because her partner is so reserved
(he?) is tepid, more so than she is.
She tries to point out he probably has more passion and direction than he is letting on to ('though you say you are not a Templar man'; The Templar Knights of the middle ages were Christian military knights - if you were one of them then you were basically fighting for your religion - so you must have some passion about it. But he seems to feign not to be into it maybe because he doesn't want to expose himself, be vulnerable? who knows...).
She lets on she is leaning into the potential of the relationship by the mentioning the eagle one day has to land - an eagle obviously starves if it circles forever without landing or going after its quarry...
then the humming "When the Dove's Cry" a song by Prince about lovers who are hot for one another for sure but argue and have trouble (thus crying dove).
The Thumbalina part I cant quite get - but it is a reference to a fairytale of a miniature girl who is flooded with wedding proposals from many small animals until she finds a flower prince just her size and she accepts...anyways, maybe someone could better make sense of that part.
