Rex gave in and let her feed him like he was a baby. It was humiliating in a way, but it also felt excellent.
This was Mara giving in completely to her desire to serve him, be close to him, and have any reason to be close to him.
They were halfway through the bowl when Lily moved and lifted her head from where it had been resting on the bed. She slowly opened her eyes, which were unfocused and confused for a moment before they fell on Rex.

"Mm... Rex...?" She mumbled softly.

In her hurry, she almost knocked over the chair next to the bed as she got up from the floor. She was already crying before she even got to him.
"You're awake...! You're REALLY awake, Rex...!"
"I was so scared... I thought you were going to die!"
"There was so much blood, and you wouldn't wake up, and nobody could tell me if you'd be okay...!"
