It was good to see Lonan and Grainne again.  Lonan in particular was handling interaction with the queen quite well- if he was offended at all by the queen's long-term goals being at a cross-purpose with the king of Harzelslack, he didn't show it.

The squire didn't quite seem herself, though.  Fighting the wyverns- or being injured by them- must have humbled her and cooled her fire.  It was honestly a little sad to see- for all her abrasive attitude, it didn't seem right seeing her almost broken like this.  Perhaps she just needed a little coaxing to bring out her spirit.  With a plan in mind, he rode up next to the squire as they headed to the castle.

If engaging with her in conversation didn't compel her to snap at him with some biting words, perhaps his aura of cool air would.
