Rilian's return had happened very near the end of Caspian's life, she knows - enough time for a reunion, for him to be aware his son was alive and well, but not much more.

She leans a little into the touch of his hand, trying to comfort him as best she can, for it's clear to her from the way he's smiling that he doesn't wish to burden his friend with the grief he'd endured - grief they'd both endured, mayhap, for wouldn't Drinian have known Rilian too?

"He were safe," she tries to reassure, "when he were able to return home, and well."
