she's stroking the scarf idly, and it take her a moment to take the glass. to pull her hand away from the material. it's therapeutic, the shift of her fingers against the red, and she nods. her face crumples up a bit, and she has to take another moment. tell herself to take a sip of water.
it helps soothe her throat, at least. ]
