Nodding in agreement, she held her sharp gaze on the paper in front of her. She was just as confused as he was, if not more so, but she had confidence that they would figure this out. They had to. "Then we have to find it, we have to start looking for it. If we can save Thomas-- if we can save everyone, we have to try." Her voice was soft and solemn, her eyes keeping their focus on the table.<br/><br/>She didn't notice that her hand was shaking as she clutched the pen until she felt his hand on her wrist. She swallowed, dropping the pen, her eyes settling on his hand. She let out a cleansing breath, closing her eyes momentarily as she listened to his soft words. She flickered her eyes up to his, her vibrant green ones glossy from the threatening tears. His touch, however, had a calming effect. Either way, she didn't agree with the notion that Oliver's death wasn't her fault, not completely at least. "It was though, at least a little bit. I was out there with him, I was the reason that he let his guard down. Even when he insisted I stay here I stubbornly ignored him, thinking it would be better that I went with him, but clearly I was wrong." She frowned to herself as he removed his hands, she had actually quite liked his touch. "But maybe not."<br/><br/>She sat up a little straighter when he began to speak of his mother, her eyes holding sympathy. This time, it was her turn to offer him some comfort. She rested her hand on his back again, sighing softly as he recalled what she could only assume to be his worst nightmare. She couldn't imagine. Oliver had died, yes, but she didn't have to leave him to die as he bled out in the woods. But he did, he had to leave her. His own mother. "I'm so sorry, I know that sorry doesn't really go far these says but... I can't imagine that. I'm sorry that you had to go through that so young, that isn't right. But you're right, it wasn't your fault. She wouldn't want you to think it was, either. " She shifted, leaning a little closer towards him. "It's a really unforgiving world, it's all we can do to live in it without letting out minds kill us first."
