Of the four of them it's clear who fared the best. Runa bounds from her seat with unsteady legs that she doesn't seem aware of. "That was wonderful!" Her laughter tumbles uncontrollably and she puts a hand on her chest. "Oh, my heart is beating so fast!"
Viatorus is close behind, but walks far more carefully than she does, one hand resting on his stomach, an undecided smile on his lips. "That was… That was fun." He almost sounds surprised by himself, but the decision cements his smile. "That was fun. I… I might go on that again."
That makes Runa laugh with delight, but there's a hint of dismay in Isidor's face. "Not straight away… Give me a minute. Or a few minutes." She looks more like Harrowheart than Runa, her hands on her hips while she steadies her breathing and hides the slight tremble of her nerves. Harrowheart's offer (which is declined by all three of them) gives her more time to ground herself. "Can we… Can we keep our feet on the ground for a bit, please?"
Her brother smiles gently and takes up asking the inevitable question. "Where would you like to go next? There are games to play, or the ghost house, or the house of mirrors, or food?"
"No food." Isidor's judgement is immediate. "Not yet."
