Morning in May's room

[outcast_may]

May pulled the covers from over her head and looked around through squinted eyes. What time was it? She didn't have a clock or windows to see how light or dark it was.

May grimaced at the mention of the cold remedy and then gestured towards her throat with a weak shrug. The stew did smell good and she hadn't eaten in almost 24 hours. She reached for the bowl hoping she wouldn't spill it. She was so glad Salene was home and wished she could tell her that.
