Mat settles them both at the window, keeping an arm around Rhy. He's flying rather blind, really, but he thinks this ought to help. A proper vista full of life and activity and none of those awful things Rhy saw in the Horizon.
"Look at that. The familiar sights of home, and all the people therein. And me and thee among'em." And from up here, things like dying plants and whatnot aren't discernable. Just the activity of the castle courtyards and the city beyond, people going about their day and doing what they need to do. Not terribly remarkable, but he knows he'd find it comforting were he in the state Rhy is.
"And I'll stay with you, through the night, so don't worry yourself about that and start fretting about how you'll manage when Mat has gone. Mat is not going. That is my promise to you, and Matrim Cauthon does not break a promise to a friend."
