The return of the light was more welcome than he cared to admit, but he hid it well (he hoped) and nodded thoughtfully to Rexanna's description of its size. "Not too much, then, but big enough to protect you," he said with a slightly quirked grin. "And that's what matters! We can't have our Queen getting lightly toasted on her rounds about town!"
