Anne likely would not be able to hear him even if he had managed to speak her name aloud. She was in such shock, none of her senses were working save for her sight. All she could do was stare for a minute that seemed to last for eons. Then her mind came back to her.
Slowly, her body obeyed her commands. Her feet moved her towards him; after a few steps she was running. Anne bumped into the adviser that had just been beside Caspian, accidentally of course but she made no effort to apologize. She was too overwhelmed at seeing him, alive, moving.
Anne at least had the God-given sense not to throw herself upon him on the bed. Bandaged and worn as he was, she simply seized his hand in both of hers, kissing his knuckles repeatedly before bringing one hand down to stroke his hair. Badly she wanted to kiss his lips, but she wasn't certain that she could do so without hurting him, as she did not know the extent of his wounds.
"My God...it's a miracle, they...they told me you were dead! That the ship sank and everyone had drowned!" Anne gasped, barely remembering that she had to breathe.
