[Willow is there--and she looks whole and unharmed. Ethlyn too breathes an audible sigh of relief. She would have done her best to heal the horse of any injury, but she's much less expert on how to treat animals than she is other humans and it might even necessitate spending the night out here. Ethlyn is sure that it would be too dangerous; she's also sure that Marianne would refuse to leave Willow, and Ethlyn would of course refuse to leave Marianne.

It looks like much of what the horse was carrying is scattered around the woods, but that's of much lesser import.]

I'm so glad. [She stays where she is, allowing Marianne to approach alone and unthreatening, and also keeping an eye on their surroundings, but she can't help but give Willow a gentle little ribbing.] Looks like you managed to get rid of some of that extra weight, hm? Don't worry, we aren't going to dig it out of the underbrush.
