It does feel quite sobering, and she falls to silence for a long moment — just stirring the pot, watching the sugar dissolve. She looks quietly troubled. Will this be enough? The rosehip syrup, will it help? Or... are they going to end up sick? There's no telling how long they'll be stuck here. She remembers a man told her last month: I hope someone finds you before we run out of tins.
