“I failed you. We all failed you... Failed the Realm...”
Their horses hadn't made it more than a handful of strides off of the bridge over the Sapphire when Adam made an unhappy noise and reined in tightly.

The tall knight looked almost greenish. “Something I ate must really not have agreed with me.”
Damien reached his Healer's sense out to deal with the problem. Indigestion – or even food poisoning – shouldn't take more than a moment to fix.
