It feels a little wrong being here, to be honest. Avery cares of course. She's glad to see them all alive. She's livid at seeing the condition they're in. But some of the others with her are their friends, family, lovers. The trip up here was literally the most interaction she'd ever had with any of these people.
So rather than rushing to anyone's side emotionally or making any dramatic declarations of revenge, she steps out of the way, allows others to reach them first, and goes over to inspect the water barrel. If it seems safe, she'll start distributing it around the room with quiet instructions to drink slowly. Not too much at once.
And those who want it and can stomach it also get a little of the food Burly sent the rescue party down with.
