Tuni offered the tissue to Febs so that she'd have something to wipe her face with other than her sleeves or whatever else she could get her hands on. She was truly at a loss of what to say or do in the situation. She didn't have any experience, obviously, and she hadn't had a mother for over half her life. Her father hadn't remarried until after she'd finished her fifth year and even then her stepmother hadn't had any children so she had nothing to go off of.

"Oh Febs," she said softly, her own optimism fading quickly, "I.. I don't really know what to say." Which certainly didn't help but it was the truth. She was at a loss for words, not something to happen all that often for her.

"We'll get through this," she said firmly, taking her friend's hands in her own and giving them a gentle squeeze, "I'll help in any way I can no matter what happens."
