Maria: *makes raspy sounds as she tries to breathe. She is currently asleep and seeming to be a bit more peaceful than she has in a long time. Still, the raggidness of her appearance would not be an easy sight*
Teresa: *quickly shakes her head* No, no. I do not mean that I shall rest during the night. I just meant I needed a breather. *waves her hand in a dismissive manner* I will only stay for a few hours then I’ll be on my way again. Thank you once more for the tea. It is good.
