The sigh of relief was suppressed as Rosalind finally saw the other stirring, quickly pushing the bottle of water into the others hands, eyebrows knit in worry. Just how had this girl ended up in such an unpleasant situation?
She opened her mouth, about to suggest a trip to the medical centre to check out if anything was seriously wrong, but her trainee-doctor instincts kicked in and she figured she should get the details from the source before pushing her elsewhere, after all, this could be a regular thing.
“It’s triple filtered.” She finally managed, lamely. Most people probably didn’t care about that, “It may well be the cleanest water you’ll ever drink on this island.” She nonetheless continued, standing up and holding out a hand, “Would you like some help getting up? Do you know what happened?” Rosalind paused, “Sorry. I don’t mean to bombard you with questions but. Well.” She glanced away, tucking a stray lock of hair behind her ears.
Selphy gratefully took the water bottle and eagerly began drinking it. She wasn’t really sure what triple filtered meant, but it didn’t matter if this was the same as the water in the castle or water scooped out of a puddle. It was water, and she would take whatever she could get.
She nearly drank the entire bottle, and had to take a beat to let all of it settle in on a completely empty system. Selphy smiled at the woman and took her hand.
“Thank you, you really saved me there,” Selphy spoke, starting to get up, “I really - oh, wait.” Just as she began standing up, she felt a wave of dizziness hit her again. She just settled into a kneeling position, trying to ride out the wave before she pushed herself too hard.
“Sorry,” Selphy just laughed, looking up at her savior, “I think I forgot to eat or drink in a while. I think this might be a record for me!”
