The serene smile on Fantine's face spoke for itself ~ "Couldn't feel better, Cyrus." ~ She spoke unhurriedly, her glittering eyes fixed on his pale face ~ "I would say 'thank you', but I fear that would only cause you to cringe further." Behind her, she heard Aragorn's chuckle and a flush spread over her cheeks, halting only as she sensed some tension between the lady-warrior and the half-elf. Clearing her throat, she added ~ "Won't you join us to our camp, Cyrus? I do think you'd benefit from some rest after your rescue operation."
"Indeed." ~ Aragorn now joined in crisply ~ "You wouldn't insult me by refusing to let me play the humble host, would you?" ~ Infinitely glad of Fantine's easy ways ~ If only Ursula were half as skilled as her in her social etiquette... ~ But it was not fair to think of such uncharitable thoughts. Already he felt her burning gaze upon his back and he stepped forward, swinging his left arm around Cyrus' neck ~ "Shall we?" ~ And gestured broadly towards the direction of the camp.
