May, with her freckles unchanged and her now untied hair restored to its red, 3a curls falling to the small of her back, looks with curiosity at her two new acquaintances.<br/>She raises her brow as ...Jackie....Starts doing lewd things for the cameras. May looks around, not seeing any cameras but open to the idea they might be present. She muses that if anyone<i>is</i>watching, they might be enjoying her performance, so the defiant act could actually be counterproductive to her goal...But she didn't want to annoy Jackie, who had already called her talkative and whose patience seemed strained to say the least. The blond one seemed surprisingly relaxed, given the situation, but wasn't engaging either one of them, so probably preferred to be left alone and for no unneccesary conversation to disturb her. That's understandable.<br/>It's best not to step on anyone's toes, at least as long as escape is not an immediate option.<br/><br/>After cleansing her body, she heads to the last empty pool and stands at its edge.<br/>It is at that point that she realises the ache in her side had vanished, as the pain in her wrist and hands. Shock, perhaps?<br/>She looks down at the tattered gloves.<br/>It would be rude to get into the tub with the gloves still on...And they really were barely holding together...<br/>She bites her lip, closes her eyes, and removes what is left of the black fabric, before getting into the tub.<br/>Oh, that<i>does </i>feel nice.<br/>Her gloves gone, May prepares herself with the fact that the other hapless girls will be exposed to the sight of her hands, as would she until new gloves can be procured. With a sigh, she slowly lets her arms rise from the water, to look at them.<br/>She expects to see black and blue bruises along her forearms, a wrist with a strong indentation where bones had been fractured by a hammer, and fingers broken, twisted laterally or completely misshapen...<br/>What her eyes meet are the hands she once had.<br/>Gone ware the marks, vanished the deformity! Even the burn around her left ring finger is absent.<br/>Her skin is smooth, fair, unblemished. The skin at the very tip still has that familiar, slight thickness that came from hours of playing on the strings.<br/>A small, gasping laugh escapes her lips as tears begin to fall from her cheeks like the outpouring of gratitude she feels.  May begins to quitely sob, smiling, laughing and crying as she caresses those delicate hands.<br/>Maybe people were going to beat the proverbial crap out of them, as Jackie feared, but for now, just for now...<br/>She is happy.
