( Somehow — somehow — her tone is not hideously flippant, it's just as casual as she can make it when her hand feels like it is being held in a pit of coals. )
I don't know, maybe I'm being blindly optimistic trying to climb a mountain. I could fall to my death, or get lost, or I could get eaten by a bear.
( She is not being entirely reasonable, but she is trying to be... well, the optimist. Sort of. Unseen, she scrunches up her face as she runs that back through her head. )
[ The sooner she is able to tend to Red, the better- and while there is a wry bite to her tone, and while Adelaide remains annoyed by Red's not reporting this in-
She does not take the bite personally. People in pain lash out- more so when they are picked at. As she has a shit bedside manner Adelaide is more than a little familiar with such things. ]
Swooped up by a dragon, lost in an avalanche, catch a cold, robbed by bandits, mauled by wolves- well. Actually I think you would be able to handle bandits and wolves quite well- Yes I need one saddled, no I don't care which, yes it is an emergency-

( ha ha ha she's hilarious )
Wolves do tend to like me. I'm the alpha. ( Is she joking or being serious? A mystery. Dryly: ) I could also fall off a horse and get trampled.
( Helpful, Ruby. )

[ Yes she knows how to ride, no she does not need assistance, get out of the way-
The sounds of mounting up, the jangle of the reigns, and a curt order to run for the love of the maker covers whatever else she might have to say. ]
