It is no trouble! My stamina is not quite what it was - you will likely find it is the same for you, if you have any magic. Some effect of the islands, perhaps. But I have not used a great deal of magic recently.

[He holds up a hand, lighting it with a green flame, but doesn't immediately reach out to her.]

Is it alright if I touch you? I can also send it towards you, if you would prefer.
