Perhaps it was the way she had been brought up, but Aeryn couldn't connect with the surreal scenes that had just transpired.
She watched, her face almost impassive, as the events unfolded, but had nothing she could offer to the others, to try and still the tortured noises.
Then Jack, a kindred spirit, showed the signs of guilt that she herself knew too well. She couldn't comprehend why, nor what had happened, and then Jack threw up.
Oona had moved to comfort River, while Aeryn moved to put herself between Jack and the ladies, trying to protect him.
The scent of vomit was strong as she tried to block River from advancing on Jack, but the young woman was so single minded, Aeryn couldn't stop her from touching him.
