[She's still fretting...and also pretty steamed, but both those feelings are tempered by the slightest tug of Teo's hold on her sleeve. If she were the big predator cat she dreamed of being, her ears would be pinned flat to her head and her tail swinging with barely-restrained irritation. She'd be ready to play volleyball with this girl's head. Instead, she's a regular-ass girl, same as the other, and not in a particularly great position to be snapping at her. Ryder might huff and cross her arms if she didn't worry that would make her shirt slip from Teo's fingers. As it is, her venom is probably already melting into an obvious sulk.

Right. She's the one with the info and the one with the less busted voice. She wants to chew the absolute hell out of her lip, ugh.]

...The old guy -- dad? [Not that it mattered for her to look back to Teo and half-grumble an explanation.] Ground with us, before. But -- Maddy n'other girl -- with guns. Don' remember names. Keeping w-watch, now. Up. [Oh, actually -- ] They use hand -- signals. S'cool.

[The bitterness even melted away like it was never there, for that comment! It was really cool!! She wants Teo to know!!!]

...Were trying to -- help. Nice to meet them. I guess.
