[Riddel takes a moment to look him over, though it's not terribly close. She makes note of the sleeve, but it doesn't exactly register to her first off. She's certain she spent more time trying to quickly rush off in her mermaid style dress (and likely giving him concern that she didn't just hike up the skirts to move quicker) than she did watching him.
Her attention moves from him and onto the fireplace. Maybe he's too cold to do it himself. She knows enough about them, though it's always been her attendant who's handled such affairs. As a result, she's fumbling just a touch as she tries poking and prodding at the wood with the poker that's leaning up against it.]
Perhaps it is because we are no longer running. You may not have felt it before. The mind can be distracted when the situation is dire, I think. I think it would be called adrenaline?
[Looking back over to him, she offers a sympathetic glance. She doesn't really know or understand why she isn't experiencing the same thing. Maybe because she's more covered? Would that really make a great difference, though?]
