Scorpius scoffed, "They might as well do that since I feel that no one can make me more ill than I already am." He was surprised when Emma gave him a series of heavy pats in the back - the girl knew force! He didn't even think that she could give more energy since she look like she's going to pass out soon enough.
He frowned and sniffed, he didn't really have any idea what to say to Emma, he didn't know if he should feel sorry or sympathize with her. The later one seemed more appropriate though, so he pushed himself up a step so he's sitting beside her and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. He didn't even give a glance - a little embarrassed with his actions. "I don't even know what will make it better, sorry. Perhaps the cliche, It'll be alright?" he half asked and half said, tightening his grip a little as an act of reassurance.
