Only after confirming the return of his sanity does she allow the tension in her body to drop a notch. A notch being more like 'a hair', but as well hidden as it was with her expression still frozen in unwavering concentration, the relief is nevertheless undeniably present.
As for how he's doing... It's awfully easy to tell when Charles is dealing with things he can't handle. (Maybe this further testifies she's spent too much time around him, for better or worse?) Instinct is to catch up and see what she can do to help even if she's aware that her own person must be the main cause of why he feels as he does now, but reason steps in first to remind her of her own condition - along with his words.
Actually, it might be his warning that finally draws to her attention that the missing arm is just that - missing.
...
It's not regenerating. The fact doesn't sink in with any shred of surprise, just... muted acknowledgement. She was aware of the possibility when discussing it with Merem during the start of the first hour. Only a complete idiot would chance to test it, so she still made sure to keep her distance - until it became necessary to act otherwise. Ah, so that's that. She's rather certain that she'll recover once they get back, but until then.
Her head lowers a bit, something of a half-nod. Hastening her pace to catch up with the rest of the crowd in the middle, she'll lift her right hand over her shoulder to stop the bleeding. Whether it's healing or through some spell is a detail no one needs to be concerned with, what matters is that it'll stop drizzling completely within a few beats. So that's that...
Eh, she'll just have to be even more vigilant and make better use of her good right arm until this ends. Catching up to Charles, now, her expression neutral.]
Can you tune it out? [he's obviously sane now, no need to ask anything to which she already knows the answer of. Let's skip the 'I'm fine' too, he can see that for himself. But if the voices are still being troublesome, she may be able to cast Suggestion on him to help blot it out. ...Up to him though, she's aware that with the state his current psyche in is, she can help as much as she can harm.]
