[Both being able to swim and less cultists. Both are better than the alternative for sure.
As for her question, the answer is... Complicated, and he's not sure it's helpful to tell her that they probably could make decent improvised weapons from the bones of all the dead bodies in this room. Somehow that probably won't be encouraging, and he knows she has enough to be worrying about right now, so he'll leave that part out in favor of a single, but still more positive case.]
Someone has a mace, which I think they got from one of the shrines somehow.
[It's gross and creepy, but what else is new. He takes a deep breath, sorting through his thoughts and going over the situation to try to offer her anything else she might need to know without her having to ask, not wanting to distract for much longer. He distinctly remembers the stress and pressure of being on the other side of trying to find someone before it's too late, and she has multiple someones to be looking for.]
We have a better water source now, and a little food, so those aren't pressing problems. The cultists seem distracted, so they're ignoring us for the moment, and with any luck it'll stay that way. It'll be awhile before the flooding's a problem. We're okay right now.
[It's easier to make that seem true when it's just a written message, though since he has to think it to send it, perhaps he'll be able to believe it a little too.]
