For the second time in two seconds, Pearl has to bite her lip once again, and she's going to get a blood blister for her troubles. Her mouth still ticks upward at the corner, and she has to cast her eyes to the same corner Lucy's are surveying. She tucks this tidbit of information into the back of her mind, where all the secrets she keeps go. If she remarks on it, she'll never be trusted again. (But she called it.)
After a moment, she nods, trusting her grin to stay down. Because the important part here is Dustin, who is afraid, his mind twisted by their enemies. She won't soon forget how that feels. She returns to business pretty easily.
"Oh. Yeah, of course. I was actually down here to get him and Justice some tea. Sleepytime. There's chamomile? So I figure it'll help. Do you want...me to tell him something?"

(She's pushing it. She always does.)
