Leaning her head down to rest a temple against the upturned knees, she turned her face to look at him. The almost tranquile sensation lingered in her mind, like a soothing balm had been applied, and the smile she gave him was soft, even warm.
"I don't mind," she said, very sincerely. "It really helps, so... thank you." A lock of hair fell down over the cheek, and she absently pulled it back behind an ear. "Are you a doctor then? Er, a... a healer?" It would explain why he was so familiar with this room.
Trouble with the easing of the frazzled state of her mind was that the drowsiness returned. She had woken up too early, and been chilled to the bone by the rain, walked for a good while, and now placed in a warm building. The cot underneath her wasn't soft, but it was tempting all the same.
Sleeping would be a really bad idea though. There was a whole day ahead, with a dizzying amount of things that required doing. The thought... should have caused her a great deal of distress, but strangely enough all she felt was resigned acceptance. Whatever Loren had done, it was very potent.
