"Nay, no ill effects. If anything, I felt... well, it was good to be out and about for a while, and more so to ride again. And I am much relieved now to have seen my uncle.

She bites her lip, belatedly realizing telling him that may only serve to make him feel more guilty. "But pray, do not worry yourself over that any longer. Merry will understand, too. As will the Warden."
