[Ouch, intones the Snake, that voice in the background of her mind curled up comfortably, speaking in a voice and tone and feeling so familiar it may as well be her own. But she knows better and knows the distinction but It's always been there in recent memory. So she treats It like something distinct. Whispering:]
... Are you okay...?
[But It's fine, only remarking on a situation only It can sense. On a conscious level, anyway. It's not necessary for Mary to know that part, not yet. So It doesn't tell her. Still whispering to something Sakuya can't see (but can probably sense), she nods.
But her inner mind theatre aside, it is faint which makes seeing it difficult, but Sakuya smiles at her and makes her a promise she hasn't heard (heard the sentiment of) in a few years. It was never necessary to say it again, not with words, and that was why, but Sakuya is a new person making the same promise he did, the same promises they did, with her voice. With words.
Even if it's only for a day or two at the most (she won't let herself stay longer), it's nice.]
