Yeah. I'm just drained; I'll be fine.
[He takes a deep breath, then lifts his head to check on the main mirror. Satisfied to see all crystals free of that unearthly blue glow he looks around until his eyes find the king. Luckily healers are already swarming towards him.]
Go give them cover as they fix him up, just in case.
[He's confident that he himself will be fine after just a little break... he wants to close his eyes, but he'll keep them open and instead reward himself with a cigarette.]
