She chuckled and gave him a comforting pat on that shoulder as she sat up. They were alive, and a little pain wasn't so bad in the long run. "Mmmm, I've not heard that saying before but I might have to use it myself."

She took a moment to savor the thrill of their little misadventure, but it wasn't long before her face took to steel once more, "As much as I'd like to keep this the biggest peril of this outing, we have other things to attend to." She rose to her feet and then offered him her hand, "Are you ready to go meet Garland?"

She hadn't said 'thanks' for his worry, but this was the way she was going to say it for now. Working together and trust in each other meant more to her right now than kind words. They could relax and be merry when the job was done.
