[There was a chance a maester might see through such a trick, but it had to be weathered in stride. If that came about, she would think of another means to protect her reputation. Daemon had at least not hesitated to help her, managing a part that she might have waivered in, had it been left completely to her. When he twisted and bruised her ankle, she hadn't bitten him, instead tearing at her lip. Worrying the skin herself and digging her teeth into it would lower the fullness of her lips. Her flush might well go down, both sources of pain turning her pale.
Her ankle was quick to swell and her flesh started to turn into a more appropriate color for such an accident. Any defect in her appearance would be ignored in the face of an injury. The grime and scrapes on her hands, the dampness of her dress and the sweat could be better explained. It merely meant that she had to sacrifice the rest of the hunt and remain surrounded by the ladies of court. A momentary annoyance, but there was a price for stepping too far from her morality.
It was agony to move, but all the better. She would not have been able to fake such a thing.]
The rocks are slippery. [She glanced around them, at least his own state was better explained as well.] We were forced to wait a moment for my ankle to heal, but as you see, it was badly twisted.
