Abby's mouth drops open. "Are you aware of the situation right now?"
But the girl isn't looking at her any more, she's paging through the book like she's searching for something. Abby watches her, momentarily distracted by the expression on her face: mouth in a thin line, brow furrowed. She's upset. Really upset. The intent to beat her up unless she leaves is so far away from this moment she could have made that threat days ago.
"Look," she says, sounding different this time. Not condescending or aggressive, just sort of... exasperated. Calm but firm. "No. Am I supposed to? I have no idea who you are, and I don't get why you're here. I think you should go find the other people who came in with you.
"You can... take the book. If you want." She's just going to be in the Gallows, right? Abby can get it back later. She's been avoiding it up until now anyway.
