She can't answer right away. Not with the world swaying before her, the sudden lightheadedness and the chills that unexpectedly shoot through her body. She shivers, keeping her eyes closed and her head bowed, seeking stability. There are whispers, there in the darkness behind her eyelids, and she makes a frustrated noise, trying to drive them away.

And so when she does answer at last, ever so carefully raising her head and opening her eyes, her response is less than believable. "I am fine. It was - a momentary spell, nothing more." She has to prove it, she thinks in a strange, detached sort of way; he will not believe her, and so she must show him the truth of her words. To that end, she takes a breath, pushing herself up to her feet -

- and immediately sways, pitching forward as the land shifts unfairly beneath her feet.
