The far-off call of Arric hits her ears and it suddenly occurs to her that she will have to come up with a story. She could lie; could pretend as if she hadn't teetered over the crest of a nervous breakdown, hadn't absolutely lost it — yes. That was what she would do.
They did not need to — worry about her. Not any more. Not ever again.
Her breath hitches in her throat as she forces her head up yet again; this time, she is successful. One of the men says something incomprehensible to her, and Mae stands over her as if she is property.
To the strange boy, the young one, her gaze softens.

Mae,she croaks.
it's okay. We're good. I just-- I just fell. I'll be fine.she felt as if they'd had this conversation a lot recently.
To the strange boy, the young one, her gaze softens.
I'm okay,her voice wavers, gets lost somewhere.
thank you.
