[Ryder gives a tiny nod, even though she doesn't want to think too much about that right now. Not only was that a day of dumb idiot mistakes, it also...wasn't really that long ago. It might feel like it sometimes, but really this whole thing has been a whirlwind blowing through their lives. She doesn't want to think about not knowing Teo -- and she doesn't want Maddy thinking about it, either. These people didn't need to know how little of a grasp they had on this city despite Ryder's claims.
She should probably care more about the living that had probably joined the dead now. It's not good news. Even unconfirmed, it isn't. The new voice isn't bringing good news, either. Ryder startles and twists to stare wide-eyed at Cecily now. It feels like she's a rock or a shell, incapable of stringing her thoughts together and coming up with no answers to the questions of why the other girl is here, or what she's supposed to do. It...shouldn't change things, right? All three coming here was the plan. Just...what was she doing here? And why did their dad want to kiss a gun? He could do something else involving his gun and his mouth, but that's not exactly a pleasant mental image either, and Ryder shakes her head of it before moving jerkily to Teo's side, stepping in front of him as half cover again.]
...Dumb. Should've -- come together. Too m-many -- trips.
[More time for the undead to discover them, or for them to discover the undead there. She's glad that how loud her heart is is something only she can hear. Cecily was an unknown factor, but she at least was less uptight... Ryder looks over to Maddy with a growl after a hard bite of her lip.]
It pas-passes, right? So get -- him n'make -- list.
[She can go and Cecily can stay and make things marginally less stressful, right? Please? Oh god, what if it isn't less stressful. Fuck. What happened to her day of being treated like a princess?]
