A pat on the back is good enough. Marnie nods slowly as she listens, soothed, though it takes a few moments for Annie's words to register. Alex and Krystal are alive... One thing to be thankful for in this unfamiliar place.

"Mm. My- my bag..." Marnie bows her head before she starts backing up. "I'll go and fetch it. You go ahead. I'll follow." She doesn't like the ashy color of Annie's skin and the beach seems to stretch for forever in either direction. Following from a distance shouldn't be hard. Forcing a smile, she turns to retrieve her laptop case. Maybe it will prove useful... They can use the bag for something at least.
