[ Arya is easier than Charlie, because Arya will trust Regina. And she lived in a world where illnesses killed, so she'll know that Regina's worried without her having to say so. Even so, she keeps it to text, because she doesn't trust her voice. ]
Neil has a fever. I'm taking care of him at an inn. We'll be home when he's well, and I'll let you know how he's doing when I can.
Emma and Evie will be at the house. Please don't run, love. I promise, I'm coming home.
[ Regina wishes Arya didn't understand this as well as she does. She wishes she could protect her from it enough that she could start to forget, instead of relying so much on Arya's firm grasp on how awful the world can be. ]
Thank you, love.
There are doctors here. I think that's what you mean by maester. But Neil's sickness is magical. The magic healers won't have any more skill with it than I do.
He should be all right in a few days. Think good thoughts for me.
maesters heal people when they're sick or injured, and they teach the children of lords their letters and sums and the histories of the seven kingdoms. Robb used to tell me they studied old magic too and that maester Luwin would put a curse on us if our letters were crooked but mother said that was nonsense.
I would side with your mother on that one.
I can't fix it, but he's survived this fever before and this time he has my help.
I can't promise, because I won't lie to you, but I will do my best.
Pray for me that it's good enough?
