Fred had now recognised that, as she had claimed, the "foul demon" was in fact Astra and had croaked his apology to her. Once he had drunk some water, so that he was rather less croaky, Astra had introduced Falena to him and she had filled him in on events.
"Now I have to decide whether the two of you are yet well enough to ride," Falena finished. "I don't know what happened to your own horses, but I have spare mounts for you." "With respect, Falena, Fred's and my fitness for travel should be a matter for us to decide," Astra said. "Perhaps that is so, Princess," Falena said. "But I am an experienced healer, and I think that you and your friend should allow yourselves to be guided by me. Besides, should the two of you die or suffer a serious relapse during the journey, the High Priestess would have my guts for garters." "We wouldn't want to get you into trouble, Falena. And I suppose that our original reason for haste - to warn Aqualaria about Reaibn - is no longer valid, as you seem to already know all about him." "Not all, by any means, and I am sure that you can tell our leaders much that will be important. But the main reason for speed is that we won't be safe until we are over the border. Until then there's a chance that Reaibn may find us in spite of the shield that I have in place. So we have to weigh the risk of that against that involved in your travelling. What I suggest is that we should have a meal first, if you feel up to eating, and then jointly make a decision."
