"I'm sorry," she echoes, quiet, as she leans forward to kiss Rani's cheek and stay close. Her fingers start to work away at the buttons of her shirt, clinging to her skin. A moment of hesitation, before she adds, "but I'm well."
See? Solid and okay. Cold and shivering, but not damaged. No harm done. Admittedly her fingers are a little stiff and she is trying to push through the pins and needles, so working at the buttons is not going entirely well, but there's no need to panic.
If she had let another do what she had done, that would not have sat well with her. Ordering someone else to endanger their life, that was not something she was willing to do. Hopefully the boy would make a full recovery, but if he did not, at least Magni could know that she had done all she could in the moment and not shirked her responsibility to the people around her. It would be a poor comfort, but it was something.
The buttons aren't complying, and she makes a sound of quiet frustration with herself, before letting her hands drop to her lap, and helping Rani with her task by using the toes of her other foot to help pry off the remaining boot.
