[ When Tony sees the smile he almost forgets why he actually sent this message. Alayne looks better as well (something that lifts a small weight from his chest, if he's honest). When the corners of her mouth fall he almost feels bad, but then she smiles and he can't help but quirk his own lips into a half smile before tilting his head to mimic her bow. ]
As are you, Alayne. It's good to actually see that.
[ And it is, Alayne might not be able to tell but he looks relieved to know that. She may not be blood (he's starting to believe his lie has a grain of truth in it though) but she is a Stark and therefore Robb's and Bran's sister. She deserves to be healthy, if not for his sake, but for theirs.
(He thinks he will move heaven and Earth to protect the Starks (and the lone Snow) because they are the closest thing he has to a real family, if only by name.) He looks at her for a long moment before he speaks again. ]
I was worried about you. Which, yeah, I know, maybe I shouldn't have been, but that was a particularly nasty sickness that stuck us. [ A pause. ] You are well, right? My eyes aren't deceiving me?
