Grace has already figured out that something in the food or drink helped with the headache, because the older woman will find her wolfing down fruit and nuts in between gulps of water.

"Surprisingly well for having been knocked out and thrown in prison. I suppose this could be your way of saying hello, in which case," Grace says, and raises a hand to give the woman a sarcasm-laden regal wave.
"It's nice here," she says, her hand hanging in the air, somewhat forgotten, as she scans the borders of their cell. "The nicest jail I have ever seen. A very nice village. And the way you incapacitated us? The epitome of nice. Not good or bad, really. Just nice."
What's next? Some exceedingly humane torture? An execution where they're all painlessly put to sleep, having pleasant dreams until the end?
"I feel like I should thank you for the restful sleep and generous accommodations if it weren't for this wall," she says, and one could probably tell that she wanted to insert a 'fucking' in there somewhere, but she's trying to be diplomatic.
