For now, for both of us, I believe that will be 'taking a rest'. I'll spread the story of what we saw and answer questions the best that I can, so please don't worry.
That will be fine. But if I hear of anyone saying you are out and about, I will have no choice but to get out of my own bed and come looking for you [with her injury] so do be sure to rest well.
