They looked between the others, pointed gaze holding a no-nonsense look to it, but still open to suggestions.

Echo watched as Theo ran, she didn't pick up the conversation behind her, only focusing on consoling Theodore. She winced as he wretched, throwing a hand over her own mouth. She felt like throwing up herself, then again, she was a pity puker. Still, she swallowed down her disgust and approached Theo again, gently laying a hand on his shoulder. She wished she could summon some words for him, something comforting.
