So there had been something. She'd been afraid there wouldn't be, that all of this would have been for nothing. At least the information had been trustworthy, even if the second clue wasn't much help.
She felt rather than saw Lingormr place something in her hand, and with some effort she brought it up to her field of vision, raising her head a little to get a better look at it.
"'S actually a butterfly," she said stupidly. "Thought it would be..."
She trailed off, her mouth and her mind still refusing to cooperate. What had she expected? Some kind of device? Some complex bit of machinery? A pill, even?
"You keep it," she said after a moment's thought. "Don't have anything like it in my world. Wouldn't know what it is. Whatever it is."
She let her head fall back on the pillow, concentrating. "No. I think...better to wait it out." She smiled up at him, or tried to, and this time she was a little more successful than her previous attempts. "Thank you, Lingormr."
