"As I say", he returns to the previous line of conversation, "she wasn't hurt and she's in the paddock with the horses - but of course I'll visit her."

"Thanks, man."

He shifts in bed, wincing a little, and stretches to set down his empty mug on the bedside table.

"How are you feeling?" Athelstan asks, a little worried by the wincing - because as far as he knew, Edgar was only suffering from the cold, not injured besides that.

"Eh, better. Feet still hurt, but they tell me that'll pass."

[athelstanthescribe]

"Did you hurt them? Or is it just the blood coming back into them that still hurts?"

"Froze em a bit," and there's just a touch of brittle tension under the offhanded tone. "Doctor says they'll be all right, though."

Athelstan nods. "Then I'm sure they will be. The doctors here can do wonderful things."
