The immediate sense of urgency and concern that the usually stoic and composed Empress showed was quite telling, and seeing her just appear beside the wooden Elf as she supported her and tried to help her was heartwarming.
"I... I'm fine... Just a fit, nothing... nothing more... I promise..."
Waving her hand tiredly at the Empress, Lady Theresa sank into her throne and let out a long sigh as she continued to rub at her throat, something that made the Empress fuss over her a little more before she finally accepted that it was just a momentary thing and nothing more.
It derailed our questions a little, but it was far more important and pressing then they were, so I turned towards Mom and asked her to retrieve that giant Nature Crystal she had gotten from one of the Trials and give it to the wooden Elf, hoping that it would do her more good than it would us.
