Allison eased just half a step away, keeping her hands lingering against Lydia's sides as though her touch could soothe and steady her friend as she continued to watch her closely. Her heart started to race a little as she wondered then if something had happened to one of their friends. Her brows drew together as she wondered what she had missed. "Lydia, did something happen..."

She paused at the sudden forced smile, her lashes fluttering. "I just got here." She started to shake her head. "But you're clearly freaked out. Is it...are you okay? Did someone do something to you on one of the boats?"

Yes, those protective surges were coming through again as her jaw set in a hard line.
