(Pureley for the eventuality @Tson accepts Lance visiting, ill respond, Tson feel free to ignore this if you decide not to let him onboard...
Even so, your kinda limiting me here, Tson is the one that knows what hospitalisers have done to help the empress physically and mentally.
But since you keep spamming me and asking for a reply here it is)
The Empress is lying on a bed looking at the roof.
Noticably, some rounded plated scales have grown back, much to everyones suprise, the Empress actually had scales before, during her imprisonment these where removed.
Luckily her specific genetics allow them to regrow, although this will take a couple of weeks at best.
It is in fact extraordinarily hard to kill a Aquatic like the empress.
However, one thing not so invunerable is the mind.
Looking does not really aptly describe what she is doing, she is staring a thousand yard stare at it, probably looking through it entirely, instead looking into herself and her thoughts.
Occasionally, her breathing would stop, as if someone stabbed her, before returning to normal a few moments later.
She wouldnt notice Lance, or anyone else for that matter.
To her, she was alone.
This was mereley another prison.
