Sohalia offered a small smile at Mateo's praise, grateful not only for the kind words, but also for the abundant assistance he had offered her. It would have been enough for him to simply help her get away, but he had gone above and beyond to heal the man, clean her up, and calm her down. Having drank most of her tea, Soh was beginning to feel more in control of herself and her emotions.
"I couldn't possibly -" she protested, not wishing to kick poor Mateo out of his bed, what with everything else. But he seemed insistent, so she sighed and nodded. "Thank you," she said again. There weren't enough thanks in the world for him, as far as she was concerned, but all she could do was continue to repeat herself. Mateo sounded confident that everything would be fine, and Soh nodded her agreement despite the fear that still held her fast.
How could things work out when she was sure that they would never be the same again?
-FIN-
