[ A gasp, a whisper of something where there had been a stark silence before, and then a pull. A grasp from the deep, leveraging its way from beneath the water only by pulling down another.

Precarious, but harmless as she awakens, her siren call weakening as she breaks the surface, at last. Awake. Everywhere and nowhere, unshielded. Reborn again upon the shores. ]

ooc; newbies should stop her anywhere for action, and anyone who wants to greet her face to face should juuust say so and I will tell you where she is at that moment. she's not really controlling what goes where so threadjack away.

[ Her eyes flicker up, but she knows Mara well enough by now not to point out her buzz of emotion. She remembers being instructed not to dictate her emotions for her, so she will just have to let the woman figure it out for herself. ]

I am alright. I think I... pushed myself too hard.

[ She is loathe to admit that, especially after asking Mara to train her, but it is the best way she can understand what has happened with her limited knowledge of why anyone falls into these empty sleeps. She looks away, frustrated, her eyes at last catching on the plant at her bed side. ]

It needed water...

[ As if surprised she would have to explain that. ]

[snaphiss]

Hm. An oversight. We'll work on it. Oh- [And then she remembers that stupid plant.]

[Mara is always more comfortable with things she can control. Plants are needy and give nothing back. Loathe as she is to admit her own fault, this one just... doesn't matter.]

[Dryly,] I was told I gave it too much.

[erbier]

Too much--

[ The horror in Ilde's voice is there. She had been raised in a world where water was a scarce and precious commodity. How did you give a plant too much water?

She turns towards the little potted plant, plunging her fingers into its soil, touching its leaves like a doctor in the midst of diagnosis, making noises like a worried mother all the while.]
