"I know, I know," Maddy replied, feeling chastised. "My body was just quieter than my own internal monologue. And I mean...I don't feel well, so you're not telling me anything I don't already know."
"Promise," she agreed more quietly, squeezing Mallory's hand. "Hopefully this won't happen again. I mean...what I want to have you do is sneak me in some real food, but it'll just make me sick, and then Cass and the healers will make faces at me. So just sit with me for a bit, I think that'd be the best. Tell me what I missed."
