The reassurance was the only thing that could soothe her fractured mind, leaving her in seemingly complete serenity. Her jawline suddenly shifted, as did her lips as she painfully formed a smile as her eyes remained sealed. 

"Thank you.." She spoke in her typical, dehydrated, raspy voice as she slipped deeper into a sense of security. Her promises of no more visits from... Him were all that she could ever want at the moment, save her obvious necessities.

"R-Rob... Where... Where is he?"

"He's here, he's safe." The redhead moved the cloth over Amalthea's cheek, surprised though she shouldn't be about the amount of grime that washed away from the nude woman. 

"You can't see him yet. But looking like this, he'll be to frightened of you and your health to want to go home." It felt dirty, to speak this way, as if she hadn't ultimately been responsible for the woman's state. 

"So we get you cleaned up, feeling better, eating well again, and then you'll see Rob, deal?"

The assurance that her son was indeed alive and well formed a faint smile across her lips. He was safe. Or at least that was what she was told. She didn't know the details, but frankly, she didn't care. Anya's assurance seemed to suffice.

But it was when she gave her reasons behind why she could not see him that caused her smile to vanish just as quickly as it formed. Her eyes trailed down to the water, waiting for the vibrations to stop in a spot so that she could be given full view of her face. She knew the condition of her body was horrid, but what about her...

Her jaw lightly gapped and her eyes widened as she took a glance at her appearance. For a moment, she stopped breathing, seeming to be overcome by her gaunt, haggard appearance. She was revolting... Disgusting... If she had anything left in her stomach to gag back up, she would've done so in an instant, but, as it was, she didn't. 

"D... Deal.." 

She found herself slowly shifting to sink further into Anya's supporting arms.
