Gingerly rubbing her aching bottom, she nevertheless looks up at Karthias with a withering glare. Then turns to face Mormegil, her face glowering. Her eyelids blink momentarily and she closes them, inhaling deeply for the next few moments.
As her features relax visibly, she re-opens her eyes and picks herself off the floor, dusting herself a little and then halting as she realises the futility of the attempt to look clean.
She continues to stand there, watching Mormegil, not saying another word.
