"The two of us can make anything interesting," Lily answers with a shrug and a smile, rising to her feet as well and looking around at the marbles. There are an awful lot, but she isn't going to leave Faye alone to take care of such a thing, not when it's so obviously made such a mark on her.
"We could use my bag," she says after a moment, gesturing to where she's dropped the gym bag in the sand. Her shoes and dance clothes are in there, but they can be taken out, left on the beach for a time while they collect the marbles. There isn't anything so deeply personal in there that she'll be upset if it's lost or taken by someone who catches sight of it in the sand. "They won't all fit, but at least it's a bit of a start."
More importantly, she hopes Faye will feel better with something to do, a task to accomplish, even if it's only collecting the marbles and putting them in a bag.
