[Jester watches all of that, pulling her knees up to her chest. But after Beau speaks up again, at how quiet she is...
Part of Jester feels like she shouldn't be touching Beau at all. There's another bigger part of her that hears that whisper and hurts and she can't even help it, she's getting to her feet and getting closer and wrapping her arms around Beau from behind. (She kind of thinks there's half a chance Beau might push her away or try and hurt her but that doesn't really matter.) She wants to rest her cheek against Beau's back but at least she doesn't do that.]
We can keep looking. Go ask someone.
[...No, her voice is definitely trembling now but it's also obvious she's trying so hard to be strong.]
