Getting some outside air is always nice. Refreshes the senses. Perks you up.
We can take some tea out there if you're thirsty.
[ He's already asked some of the castle staff to set up a table, in fact, which Adora will find is waiting for them when they get to the nearest curated garden in the castle.

Rhy reaches over to put his hand atop hers, if she'll let him. ]
...I'm sorry, Adora.
I know how much it hurts, not knowing what happened to her. But we have to believe she's all right.
That you'll see her again.
