[Alfyn watches him go, humming once in sympathy. After that, all of his attention is back on Ophilia; he pats her shoulder again and tries not to let his worry leak out.]

'Course you're scared. I would be too, if I hurt this bad. It's gonna be okay, though, hear?

[From this angle he can see the bruises around her neck as well; for now, he looks without touching, frowning just a little.]

I've got something you can drink for the pain, but I don't want to try sitting you up just yet. Do you think, if you try real hard, you can use one of your healing spells? It'll be the best thing for gettin' you more stable, and you can rest after.

[He wants to believe Ophilia has it in her but she's been out of breath and in pain for some time.]
