She's glad to see Beth, smiling widely the moment she does. Glad to see her well, in a cell, with nothing else to do, her mind had been prone to worrying. She had done what she could to look after her, to make sure she was in a position to fend for herself, explain to her what she must understand. Hoped it had been enough.
( She's good at worry - maybe in place of Devi, she must turn it on someone, apparently ).
"Well, enough, now." Which is brave words, considering that the moment she utters them, forces her throat to move and she coughs hard into her hand that she brings up quickly against to cover it. Then, gingerly, as if she must concede. "But I have been better."
