Rena furrowed her brow as she tried to make sense of the situation. Despite Beth's assurances, there was absolutely nothing reassuring about the nervous stammer she had given as a reply and it was already quite clear to Rena that something was amiss, even if the younger girl wouldn't say what it was.
"You look as though you've seen a ghost," Rena replied skeptically, though she kept her voice low, seeing that Beth looked as though she wanted nothing more than to sink into the ground and disappear. "Do you need me to help you?" she asked quietly, still frowning slightly as she tried to make sense of what was going on. As she spoke, she glanced about as subtly as she could manage, attempting to get a handle on whatever it was that was upsetting Beth so she would know what sort of help the younger girl needed.
