[She squeezes his hand gently in response to that tremor she could feel, as if somehow that little gesture could be reassurance. Her own hand is shaking a little, too, from anxious nerves and guilt, the fading adrenaline of having Phoenix turn on her stopping her from controlling that for Scott's sake.]
Okay, [she agrees softly, even though she will be getting him some water very shortly if his voice is really that raspy. She can start by just making sure she's there for him, whether Phoenix wants her there or not. Her thumb rubs the back of his hand gently, again in a gesture meant more for herself than for him as she takes a deep breath. She just wants to close her eyes and pretend that Scott's not hurt, but Yu and Yosuke had taught her that nothing good ever comes from doing that, right? So...
Another deep breath, and she steels herself, looking up to meet his eyes with uncertainty written all over her face.] Yeah?
