She senses his emotional confusion, and clings to him. "I'm alright, love. I'm here, and I'll be just fine. I promise." She holds him for a long moment, sending him re-assurance and love.

"Luke, I didn't go by myself. There were people there who could, and did help me." Her tone is gentle, but calm. "Everything worked out. I'm going to heal. It wasn't even bad, really, just a lot of blood."

He really, really, really would rather not be starting to cry just now.
