Mary seemed somewhat taken aback as Neria grasped her hands, but didn't make any overt moves to stop her either. Tony remained stoicly silent with folded arms as he was analyzed, not betraying any emotion or signs of affirmation or denial. He was about to stop Neria and tell her that he wasn't about to let her use what he viewed as quack homeopathic faith healing on his sister, but Mary managed to speak first.<br/><br/>"Um...Thank you. You're welcome to try later I suppose, but I don't expect anything, lots of doctors have taken a look, including my brother." In truth, she didn't believe that she could be healed, but she figured it probably wouldn't hurt either.<br/><br/>Tony meanwhile fumed but managed to stay quiet; he couldn't believe a single word this woman was saying. A sacred prostitute? Wasn't that a contradiction in terms? But he stayed silent, Mary was old enough to legally make medical decisions for herself now, and unless it was some crazy dangerous ritual, he doubted that it would do any harm except to maybe get her hopes up. He sighed.
